Description
A stunning black and white photograph of the Henry Hudson Bridge and C Rock of Columbia University shrouded in fog. The earliest use of the name "Spuyten Duyvil" was in 1653, in a document from Dutch landowner Adriaen van der Donck to the Dutch West India Company. It may be literally translated as "Spouting Devil" or Spuitende Duivel in Dutch; a reference to the strong and wild tidal currents found at that location.
