monday monologue - on my own
Off on my own
to
Coney Island
Toonman
didnt want to ride an hour on the subway
and
have to get to the train
Huh?
Subway at 79 St
connects
w/the D train at 59th
then its a 45 minute ride straight to Coney Island
I lucked out
#1 subway was there as I passed through the turnstyle
tranferring at Columbus Circle
I waited 5-6 min for the connection.
Local stops til 34th
then we picked up speed
zipping
down to West 4th
and
on out of Manhattan
via
the Manhattan Bridge
into
Brooklyn
First time over Manhattan Bridge on a subway!
I debated pulling out the P&S
but
remembered
I opted not to schlep it,
taking only the D90
w/the new
55-200mm lens
So
I snapped
a few pix
through
the subway car window
with
the
iPhone
The D train
runs
on an elevated track
after 2-3 stops underground
in Bklyn.
Lots of cell, satellite and water towers and interesting rooftops remind me of the El in the Bronx
Last stop
Coney Island/Stillwell Avenue
all off
for fun in the sun
All the photos are SOOC
(straight out of the camera)
a
fabulous
'Lichtenstein'-ish
mural
inside the station
walk out
into the sunshine
and
see the construction
going on
where
used to be
now
just
the
awesome
Cyclone
sits
adjacent
to the new
thanks for joining me
on Fridaycation
come on back to see the rest of the fun
oh
since ToonMan didnt make the trek
all he got was this
