One of the many cool and useful projects done by the Meadowlands Commission’s scientific arm, MERI (the Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute), is aerial photography done from balloons.
The photo above was taken last Thursday along the Hackensack River looking north between the Upper Hackensack lift bridge and the HX drawbridge. The two railroad bridges cross the Hackensack between Lyndhurst and Secaucus.

Hooray for MERI and thanks for Meadowlands Blog! What a wonderfully done resource. I look forward to following the goings on in the Meadowlands from over here in New York City.
