Looking west from the Mauro Playground overpass into the Willow Lake Preserve at the south end of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, above the Van Wyck Expressway at Park Drive East and 73rd Terrace (73rd Avenue) in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens. The preserve was recently reopened to the public. I'll explore the preserve further, some day. In the background is the skyline of Forest Hills.
