(May 26) I got off the 1 at the Christopher Street, Sheridan Square station. The rule I’ve been working from is to stop and photograph whatever public art I find in the station, whether it’s a planned stop or not.

(May 10) Yep. I forgot to post the last part of the May 10th excursion… Under the Brooklyn Bridge are these odd fluorescent lights. I’ve seen them before, and while I’m still not sure, I think they’re supposed to be an artistic piece of some kind… although it’s hard to know for sure since there’s no plaque and I’m a heathen.

art?

utility?

bulbs?

expression?

installed or an installation?

(May 16) Going places, going places I didn’t intend to go, and going more places still.

nobody expects the surprise mosaic!
I didn’t hear the announcement that my R was going to go express to 36th. Fortunately there were mosaics I hadn’t seen before at the end of the proverbial and literal tunnel.

1940's subway mosaic
These appear to be subway scenes from the 1940’s. I didn’t see a placard.

i wish it were mine
Then after picking up my notebook, it was back into Manhattan to the West Village heading for the library. Unfortunately I rode the subway and not the Ducati.

Passed four dogs camped out.

Then someone woke them.

toxic much?
Took the F back through Carroll Gardens.

Then out to Port Jefferson the next day to witness the winding down of a 40 year business.
