Looking Skyward

Being afraid of high places it is easier for me to look up from the ground rather than look down from ‘up there’. Looking up can be dizzying as well.

Adjacent to Ground Zero is St. Paul’s Chapel. There is a cemetery on the grounds as well and the chapel. I think it has become the unofficial gathering place for visitors searching out the location of some of the events of Sept. 11, 2001. People from all over the world gravitate to this location.

Although I never watched the TV show Seinfeld I was told this was the diner featured in the series. After wandering the grounds of Columbia one afternoon with our son we happened to pass by the diner and he pointed it out to me.

From the Staten Island Ferry

Looking back at lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge from the Staten Island Ferry. There was quite a crowd of people standing on the aft end of the ferry taking pictures. I thought I had a good spot to shoot from, but was soon overrun by camera-clutching tourists pushing me around as everyone jockeyed around for that ‘perfect spot’. A bit crazy, but riding the ferry is a good way to see lower Manhattan and the east channel, downtown Brooklyn, etc.

Three random shots of G.C. Terminal. A pair of pigeons waiting for a ferry in the Staten Island Terminal.

Man and Hammer

In Rockefeller Center. This engraving confuses me. Why would the Rockefellers commission an engraving of a guy with a hammer, which seems to represent the working class? Maybe this is a representation of a Greek God that I am not familiar with?
