Found this awesome photo of elevated tracks on flickr, but I can’t figure out exactly where it might be. Most of the storefronts are obscured by the track’s pillars and contrasted out, and where in Bushwick under the M or JMZ does the road curve like that? Any ideas?

The photo is done with a zoom lens, which makes even the slightest curve look much more pronounced, so that would explain the sharp curve, when there probably isn’t one that sharp.
I have seen photos taken on top of the Broadway El with a telephoto lens from Myrtle and Broadway taken towards the bridge, and the el looks like a roller coaster when done with a zoom lens…you don’t notice all the dips and valleys either when you see it, as they are all gradual, but when they are done with zoom, they become very noticable….
