If you were in Australia I'd say "go for it" but in New York heading around the bend on the left hand side of the road may be a touch risky. Not to mention the implication of being "driven around the bend". Still, I think you picked the right spot to shoot this from; from the other side of the road it wouldn't curve out of existence in quite that way leading to an air of mystery about what might lie beyond, and the gold might have been a bit overwhelming had it not been for the splash of green with a touch of red (and a nudge from the blue sky) on the right.
