Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(August 17) Since most of my visits to Central Park don’t involve leaving the street loops around it, I decided to look around the inside of the park a little.
If you’re paying attention, the sages of Brooklyn
have critiqued this ad for your sarcastic amusement
It’s probably true
Pulitzer Fountain
General Sherman, not so beloved below the Mason-Dixon line.
It lights up when someone stands in the doorway
Mini amusement park
There’s a large number of statues lining the path
Shakespeare
Walter Scott
Robert Burns
Fitz Greene Halleck
The bayou of Central Park
Dancing in the park
I followed a path into what turned out to be The Ramble
Timothy Laupot bridge
Only a few feet from Manhattan, I exited out onto the street
Trump International (Hotel)
I was wondering how long would pass before I saw this on one of the new screens

(August 16) Yes, I am still posting about August 16th. (I finally remembered to tag the DUMBO photos though) The day that started out as a small trip to DUMBO to snap a few photos of the Revs sculpture before it is stolen into the private market, didn’t end with me walking back from the mural and heading straight to the York St. Station. Upon seeing one of the Manhattan “waterfalls”, I decided to go visit the trees that are being killed by the Brooklyn Bridge “waterfall”.
As it turned out, the place was full of photographers
Under the Brooklyn Bridge, on the shores of the East River,
you’ll find Brooklyn Bridge Park
Lots of people were sitting around here listening to the waves
The park is presently full of artwork that has a “recycled feel” to it
There’s lots of great views of the Manhattan Bridge here
It seems to be a popular destination and hangout
There’s also a lot of good views of the Brooklyn Bridge
As I would later find out, this seems to be the place to have weddings
The MetLife blimp was in town
Finally, I reached my destination, the trees being poisoned
by the spray from the “waterfall”
And there’s the tree killer, caught in the act
This thing (“(untitled)”) reminds me of candy dishes for some reason
That green dot is me, the dark spot is “(untitled)” above.
This ends my story about August 16th. I just realized I forgot to post my trip to Prospect Park in July. I guess that’s coming next.

Bowery Station on the J.
First time I’ve ever seen a rat on the platform itself.
This probably leads to The Penguin’s lair.
The woman on the right stepped in front of everyone when the train stopped at Canal St.
She then stepped over a stroller with a baby in it and cut off an old woman trying to exit the train.
I nominate her for worst person in New York City.

They’re tearing the street up, it’s going to be closed for two years. I suppose by government standards, that’s pretty snappy.
Scary-looking infrastructure.
There are a lot of mosaics underground, many are very themed and elaborate.

After reading that Keith Haring’s former collaborator altered the Haring memorial mural, I realized that there is a Keith Haring memorial mural, and that I should go take some photos. Apparently it’s only going to be there until around the end of 2008.
The “original re-creation” can be seen here.
