Do! Very different kind of paddling, but in its own way just as interesting, and certainly very exciting with all the big ships ;-)

Where is the location of the first (long) archway / tunnel shown?

Here’s a shot before entering the tunnel:
It’s the Hamilton Avenue bridge, with the Gowanus Expressway above, at the entrance to the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.

Gorgeous shots of arches! The tunnel is my favorite! :)

That was the one I really thought of for “Arches”, but I threw in a few others, since we have so many…

That first shot would make a great location for a horror movie!

Especially at night… in daylight, unfortunately, you can always see the light at the end of the tunnel :-)
