Highlands NJ


Twin Lights & Shrewsbury River Bridge in 1909.
A favorite place, favorite view.
A telegraph tower on the hill looks like a third light.
Train station on the right.
When I first visited this place there were very few structures on the slope below the lights, it had always been that way in all the old photos in the Twin Lights museum, & it never occurred to me that most of the land wasn't owned by the state, & then condomimums covered the hillside.

As I write this, the NJDOT is replacing the Rt. 36 bridge over the Shrewsbury River.
 
As much as I love those bridges, replacing that one is a good idea. The old one is about to fall apart. The new one is much better for pedestrians & bicycles, & no more stuck bridge traffic jams.
