My first impression on seeing the thumbnail was that this was lace - and it still looks that way to me. Glad you were not caught in it, yourself, Lilia.

Commentary.....
Forgot to mention to those who do not know, this is very personal as I live only a few steps away.

Notes:
Huge truck fire on the bridge brought Eastside of Manhattan to a standstill. Both eastbound lanes to Queens were closed down. Fortunately, no one was hurt. This could have been a disaster under lesser circumstances.
