Some Sunrises from Feb to Feb

Over the past year if I was up to see them I'd try to take a picture of the Sunrise. I liked the colors coming up this one morning and could see a clear arc of sunlight, the building across the street started to come to life.

A Winter Day at the Beach

Sun shining. Blue skies. Zero degrees. Freezing winds.. are you thinking what I'm thinking? :) Day at The Beach! Let's go to Coney Island.
The subway ride there is scenic.

You are greeted by the most beautiful wall mural.


Coney Island is Beautiful in the Snow




Some people were dancing and having a picnic with balloons under the "Palm Tree"


"Chicks" were promenading on the Boardwalk! And that spooky oooOOOooo sound is the closed amusement park's metal howl when nothing but the wind is blowing through it.


Creatures were entertaining at the Aquarium.


Some seemed to be at a party...


A wonderful time was had by all.


When your day starts seeing this fellow

and ends with seeing this.. umm. fellow,

and have Coney Island filling in the hours between,

you can say it was a very good day

NYC Subway Mosaic Art

It's one of the few things that can probably get a busy NYC commuter to slow down for a second, the mosaic art underground. Look around next time you are running for a train, it might be worth catching the next one just to look at these up close. I saw these last night. Truly beautiful.

About them: There are 2 large wall sized pieces of artwork, one on each wall where the staircase exits and transfers are, and the artist for both glass mosaics is Ming Fay (2004). The Downtown side is titled "Shad Crossing" and details two giant shad fish "swimming", along with another wall mosaic of blue waters. In the late 19th century, these shad were found along the Hudson River when new immigrants came to New York, most of them settled on the Lower East side. The new staircase to the relocated F/T booth also has another painting of a shad wrapped around the bottom of the stairs. The Uptown side is titled "Delancey Orchard"; it has a cherry orchard tree mosaic, which symbolized the tree owned by the Delancey family in the 18th century. Along all staircases leading from the F line platforms to either fare control are miniature versions of these paintings (edit: They say "paintings" but they are large mosaics made to look like paintings :))
