Daytime scene in a large city, overlooking a broad "river" which is not actually a river, it is a tidal estuary with brackish salt water; from this riverfront view, we are facing across the water at a small island named Randall's Island, which has two bridges leading across the water to the neighborhood of Astoria, Queens, the home of today's victor of the city's mayoral race; one of the bridges leading to Astoria is a newer lift-truss/suspension bridge which is light green in color and designed for automobiles, the other an old, pinkish-red through-arch train bridge; in the foreground, in the water, is a massive barge being pushed by a tugboat, and a couple of smaller (but still fairly large) boats that appear to be private vessels; the sky in the distance is clear and blue.
