Ft. Washington, a neighborhood in the north of Manhattan, is where the George Washington Bridge arches between Manhattan and New Jersey, and it has a pedestrian walkway. The trees — both along the rocky Jersey coast and along the railbed on Manhattan’s west side — are really nice in the fall. click through a couple times for full resolution [![](https://www.genderkitten.com/WS4/Upload_Download/RailBed.jpg) ](https://www.genderkitten.com/WS4/Upload_Download/RailBed.jpg) ---

Friendly reminder that the only text in the monthly photo threads should be your title of the photo (if you wish). There is an [ongoing photo poll discussion thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-monthly-photo-competition-rolling-discussion-thread/975642/1489) for anything else. The aim is to let the photos speak for themselves, at least until the voting is complete. mmm ---
