Last night I took the N train home. As we came out of the tunnel into Queens Plaza, I saw a thunderstorm coming over Manhattan towards Astoria. Lightning was chasing the train in a very Stephen King fashion. I should mention that the N is on an elevated train track, about two stories high, made of iron. Every time the lightning flashed and thunder pealed, everyone on the train shuddered. The full force of the rain and lightning hit just as I got off the train. It was astounding. I hid in a coffee shop for about 20 minutes until there was a lull. A fake lull. 'Cos I got half a block and sheets of water came bucketing down. It was even raining under my umbrella.
An Astoria waterfall.
Not one of those noncey cars with lights under the car.
Neon and rain. lovely.
Close encounters of the third kind?
Astoria lake.
The best place for eggs before Armageddon.

Clearlake Bridge and Capitol
I've driven under it tons of times but this was my first time checking out the Clearlake Avenue pedestrian bridge up close. All of the lights were either broken or just not working, so the pictures were taken with help...
