Walkway Over the Hudson #AtoZChallenge #WordlessWednesday

Welcome to Wednesday.  Today you get two memes for the price of one.

Today is "W" day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme for this year is "From Florida to Vermont With Stops In Between".  This is also Wordless Wednesday.

Today I bring you the Walkway Over the Hudson , which connects Poughkeepsie, New York with Highland, New York.  This 1.28 mile bridge is the longest elevated pedestrian bridge in the world and draws some 600,000 visitors annually and is part of the Walkway Over the Hudson Historic State Park.

This was originally the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, designed, in part, by the man who designed the Brooklyn Bridge, built in the 19th century (1889) and abandoned in the 20th, after a 1974 fire.  In the 21st century it was renovated into a pedestrian path, which opened in 2009.

But enough of words.  Let's take a walk!

But first, a tongue in cheek history.

The Walkway.

Poughkeepsie.

The Great Connector.

From the Walkway you can see the Mid-Hudson Bridge (properly named the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge), which carries vehicular traffic.

One last view of the scenery.
