Herman,
Sometimes "mistakes" turn into beauties. Originally had something else in mind but forgot to set the camera correctly. Wish I have more mistakes like this in the future!
Be well, Lilia

It is called a tram here. Don't know what the difference is technically. Soon will post a series of closeups of the trams, wires and towers that will answer your questions. This tram has a 2 minute ride each way from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island, which is in the middle of the East River.
Thanks, as always,
Lilia
