(December 15) It was a very cold and windy day, but I decided to walk around a little and headed south from Penn Station on the west side. Eventually I had to head east so I could get to Madison Ave. in the Lennox Hill area. This was to be my only walk around the city during the holiday season.

The reindeer have gotten smaller in this recession.


I’ve been meaning to get photos of this station before.


It’s one of those curious PATH station entrances in the side of a building.


These too, have mosaics.


As I was walking uptown on 3rd Ave near 23rd St, I happened to look down and see this. The Web knows a thing or two about it. You can see the tree here.

(October 20) To the city I go. Noticing the weather vane doesn’t seem to be in the same location, I snap a photo.

I’m not feeling this like I used to, but I go because Pete wants to, and I need to escape every now and then.

I walk down here a lot, even when I don’t have a train to catch.
Among other things, I like to reassure myself I can escape suburbia.

I think I was only in the city twice in December.

Viza and I took a short stroll through Amtrak’s part of Penn Station.


I found some more subway mosaics to add to my collection.
