Everyday when I pass this river on the train, I look at it just to see what’s different about it. It’s really clean these days, but back in the day it was as filthy as the river that caught on fire in Ohio.
I like this picture, it reminds me of some opening scene from an 80s movie in a steel mining town. The Outsiders, Urban Cowboy, Flashdance, Footloose, pick one. I can almost hear the music.
This is one of the sites on my run (if I ever happen to run-damn you winter.) I never get to take a picture because I don’t carry me phone when I run. This building catches my eye every time I pass it, but it’s usually night. This time, because it was daylight, I decided to bring my phone with me. The vaulted ceiling along the passageway makes the interior courtyard seem really important because after you travel through that narrow walkway, youre in the middle of a great garden. It’s a pretty building, I especially like the facade detail on the fourth and fifth floors. They remind me of a Swiss Cottage or the house that Hansel and Gretel live. I always envision a snowfall, a fireplace and cocoa when I see that.
These are some of the random and interesting sites I see when I jog around The Bronx. It’s almost never light outside when I do, so I take the opportunity to capture some of these things:
