    The whole thing is more likely to be a fantasy, then, because there is no place along the shores of Cape Ann anywhere that has this kind of scenery.

    Look at the buildings at the left, one behind the left lighthouse.

    Maybe it was a 'what if' study. Could be why the bridge is so simply drawn.

    All right. Now I finally got to see the picture you attached. Is that Thatcher Island?

    Those twin lights are off shore on a very rocky island.

    "On New Year’s Eve, 1921, William Daggett, an assistant keeper at the Thacher Island Twin Lights off Rockport, Massachuetts, discovered that several geese had flown right into the lantern of the north tower, shattering two thick panes of glass.

    Three geese were found dead inside the lantern, and two more were discovered at the base of the tower the following morning. Needless to say, the families had goose for New Year’s dinner that year. (then don't say it....) :p )

    Happy New Year!"

    This has all been very interesting - and nostalgic in a way - but we aren't making any headway on Kard's behalf. If the picture focused on the lighthouse, this would be potentially helpful, but it focuses on the bridge. I think we should let others have a chance to consider locations.

    I'm not stopping them.
    I see the left lighthouse and those buildings at the left, is the main reason I'm convinced.

    How about the Robert Moses Bridge and water tower by the same name?
    Here they are at an odd angle ....

    Thanks to all.
    Seems like Robert Moses is the best candidate.
