When the Moon Kissed the Tappan Zee: A Night of Magic

Super Moon Over Tappan Zee – The first super Sturgeon moon of the month rises right in the center and over the Tappan Zee Bridge in Tarrytown, New York.

There are nights when the world seems to hold its breath, when the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary, and when a simple scene becomes a masterpiece. One such night gifted us with the breathtaking spectacle of a super moon rising over the majestic Tappan Zee Bridge (now officially the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge).

Captured in this stunning image, the bridge, with its elegant cables and illuminated towers, stands as a testament to modern engineering. But on this particular night, it was the celestial visitor that stole the show. The super moon, a luminous orb of fiery orange, hung suspended in the inky sky, its reflection shimmering on the tranquil waters below.

The scene was nothing short of magical. The bridge, a symbol of connection and progress, seemed to bow in reverence to the moon’s celestial grandeur. The soft glow of the bridge’s lights danced with the moon’s radiant aura, creating a symphony of light and shadow that painted the night with an ethereal beauty.

The Tappan Zee Bridge: A Marvel of Modern Engineering
