Hell Gate is the channel below the bridge. It has been widened because before it was many ships got caught up in the narrow straits and were sunk.
Thanks for the information, Ken.
Richard, excellent repair article on the 35-105. A friend gave me this lens a while back but have never used it. I may give it a spin and see how it does. I believe he paid well north of $200 in the late '80s so it was not a cheap lens back in its day. It feels very solid with zero zoom creep.

This is nice cavern, been there a few times. The next time you're in the area, go in the cavern at Natural Bridge. It's the deepest one on the East coast and it's not been commercialized. Walking through it, you feel like you just discovered it. Once you reach the bottom, they turn the lights out, WOW, what a sensation!
Leighton I’ll have to keep Natural Bridge in mind. Before I broke both legs I was a Cave Diving instructor with over a 1000 cave dives taking students into caves with the lights we carried being the only light there was. That, plus being submersed in water did freak some students out when doing their first lights out air share drills. As we traversed Luray, I couldn’t help think how much easier it would be to swim thru weightlessly.
Neowise from Friday night. Taken with the 105 f2.5 Ais. I was lucky to catch a meteor shower at the same time (upper left corner). Thanks for looking.

Did you capture the start of the Perseids with those meteors?
I always associate the Perseids peaking in the middle of August around the "Glorious 12th" but noted that they start to appear around now. I don't know a lot about astonomy but I do know the Perseids eminate from a NE direction and you were looking NW so perhaps un-related.
Maybe Jay can jump in and educate us here.
Glorious 12th in Scotland = Opening day for shooting Red Grouse
TOO HOT to do anything outside today. 98F on the front porch (105 degree heat index), plus I spent the morning in the attic fixing a duct on the air conditioner.
Anyway, messing around doing some tethered shooting on the laptop.
Posting one below of some roses I gave my wife last weekend for our 39th anniversary. 39 years!! Wow.
Didn't bother with setting up lighting which is why there are shadows on the wall behind. Just messing around anyway.
D850 with PC-E 45mm f2.8 with a couple degrees of tilt down.

Very nice still life. I'm going to assume you used LR? C1 also does tethering, but I haven't used it.

BTW...I hope you got your duct fixed.
Thanks.
Yes, duct fixed upstairs cooling is better this afternoon
Above shot was processed in LR, but I used the trial version of C1 to take the shot. I actually liked the RAW processing better in C1, but still trying to get used to the interface.
