Shot from Jewel Avenue on a Sunday afternoon in April 1998. The leaves have yet to return to the trees. This section of the eastbound Grand Central Parkway is always jammed, due mostly to the divergence of 2 lanes into the Van Wyck Expressway shortly after this point.
Visible in the background is the Queens House of Detention and some highrise apartment houses. Flushing Meadow Park is to the left and Forest Hills to the right.
