Travel pictures June 13, 2012

This post contains pictures that I haven’t put in a post at this website before.  Most go back to before it began in April 2008.  The pics were taken during my travels: on interstate highways, parkways, state roads, county roads, city streets, from a cruise ship, and in a parking lot.

We’ll begin in Pennsylvania and New Jersey on May 16, 2005, leaving Penn State University the day after that year’s commencement ceremony.  (My sister received her Bachelor’s degree in marketing.)

U.S. 322 west:

U.S. 220 north:

I-80 east:

Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania is not related to the actual Jersey Shore, nor anywhere near it.

In New Jersey:

I-95 approaching the inbound George Washington Bridge:

Our next stop is Connecticut on the Merritt/Wilbur Cross Parkway.

Northbound on March 28, 2004:

Southbound on December 10, 2010:

It’s off to Florida for the next set of pictures.  We’ll start in South Florida.

August 29, 2006: I-95 north, approaching Palm Beach International Airport:

The above pic was taken at 6:16 AM, just before sunrise.

I-95 south two days earlier, on August 27:

Then-State Road 782 (Linton Boulevard) west, approaching I-95:

Linton was re-designated as Palm Beach County Road 782, but as of today, either it’s an unsigned route or that designation was also removed.

We head northwest to the Tampa Bay Area for the next few pics.

U.S. 19 north:
