FDR Drive

Two views of the FDR Drive, which runs up the east side of Manhattan. First at Corlears Hook on the Lower East Side, where the road is at ground level and residents need to use pedestrian bridges to get to the waterfront. Next, at 81st Street on the Upper East Side where the road was built on two different levels (one for each direction) with a promenade on top.

African Burial Ground - National Monument

During construction of a new federal office building in the early 1990s, remains of over 400 African Americans were discovered, dating back to the 1600s-1700s. The remains were eventually reinterred at this site, close to where they were originally found. This is at Duane Street near Broadway, near City Hall

Rain

We had some heavy downpours yesterday afternoon.

Lower East Side Cityscape

I'm pretty sure I've posted a similar view before, but another year... another camera... different results with a hint of HDR applied. This is looking uptown at the eastern half of Manhattan - from Grand Street, Lower East Side.

Swatch Train

This subway train on the Lexington Avenue line is a giant Swatch ad on wheels, covered with colorful ads from end to end.
