Water Towers Jersey 2003


Here's another infrastructure sketch, done somewhere on the New Jersey Turnpike on my way back to Virginia from the Garden State. I don't miss the Turnpike, which I used to call the "Highway to Hell," but I enjoyed the roadside extras: little parks full of migrating birds, stores selling candy and souvenirs, and chain restaurants like the "iconic" Cracker Barrel which I always visited on my journey. These elegant structures are water towers serving the local region. The trees have not yet leafed out in NJ but in Virginia they were already green.
