SEPTA TO 3OTH STREET STATION

Took the train to Philadelphia on Friday 12/26. Went to see the city, yes but mostly went to get a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich at Rick's in the Reading Terminal Market. Shit was I surprised and disappointed when I found out Rick's had been "forced" to close. Had to settle for a fresh turkey sandwich; it was good but it wasn't a cheesesteak sandwich. I have found that the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich doesn't travel well and it is best in the city of brotherly love.

Long winded intro to the video; Before and into North Philadelphia and then before and into 30th Street Station.

145th Street, Lexington Avenue Line

Waiting with a friend for another one to arrive at 14th Street on the Lexington Ave line; some trains in and out both uptown and downtown.

Out the Window of Cafe-Cafe

Sitting in "Cafe Cafe" on Greene Street in SoHo looking out the front window; not much happens.

TUNNEL ART - NYC SUBWAY

Tunnel art in the tunnel between DeKalb Avenue and the Brooklyn portal of the Manhatten Bridge on the "B" and sometime "D" train.

From Fulton Ferry pier.

Christopher Street at the other Holloween Parade, it is early in the evening gets better.

From the roof of apartment building; N or Q train over the Manhattan Bridge going to Brooklyn.

Evening walk to the river.

Down to the river on a bright sunny autumn day.

Taken from the third floor of Pier 17, South Street Seaport.

Took the free ferry to Ikea on Sunday. Walked around the new Erie Basin Park, old Todd Shipyards in Red Hook. I walked across the street and took this panorama of this "industrial" basin.

Down to the Rockaways to take some pictures of the "surfers". I am not sure how big the surf gets normally but there wasn't much of a surf and there weren't many surfers there.

From St. George to Whitehall on the Staten Island Ferry. Two Coast Guard "gunboats" raced to nowhere with lights flashing and if they had sirens they would have been wailing too.

On a bridge over the Charles River.

Out on the fishing pier this guy was taking a midafternoon nap.

Coney Island again this afternoon. New Nikon Coolpix P5100 camera, dropped one Samsung and kicked the other, so out of convenient video cameras. I am sure this will fill up my harddrives nicely.

Took six(6) videos of different Cyclone runs. I just wanted the first drop. Spliced them together in QuickTime Pro.

Again with the fireworks.

Last night at Coney Island (06/27/2008) fireworks finale.

First night of fireworks at Coney Island.

Coney Island three times last week, twice at night and once on Sunday. Some of the many, many images I took; most of them were on Sunday from the fishing pier.

I was standing on the pier talking to a young fisherman and as I was taking pictures about five or six people came up to me to ask me to take their pictures with the rides in the background. I gladly complied and then took their pictures with the rides and then had to explain to them about the Parachute Jump as I moved them to where I could take their picture with it as the bacground.

Last year in Vienna I was out walking and crossed a bridge over a small train yard.
