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
