Morning View - Bedpan Alley

Looking north from the Queensboro Bridge, this area of the Upper East Side is called "Bedpan Alley", as many of the buildings you see here are hospitals. I got this shot last week before winter clomped into town on wet, gray boots. Today's random trivia: the East River is not a real river, but a salt-water estuary, or tidal strait, connecting Long Island Sound with Upper New York Bay. It changes direction with the tides.
