monday monologue - on my own

Off on my own 

to 

Coney Island 

Toonman 

didnt want to ride an hour on the subway 

and 

have to get to the train

Huh? 

Subway at 79 St 

connects 

w/the D train at 59th

then its a 45 minute ride straight to Coney Island

I lucked out

 #1 subway was there as I passed through the turnstyle

tranferring at Columbus Circle 

I waited 5-6 min for the connection.  

Local stops til 34th 

then we picked up speed 

zipping 

down to West 4th 

and 

on out of Manhattan 

via 

the Manhattan Bridge 

into 

Brooklyn

First time over Manhattan Bridge on a subway!

I debated pulling out the P&S 

but 

remembered 

I opted not to schlep it, 

taking only the D90 

w/the new 

55-200mm lens

 So 

I snapped 

a few pix 

through 

the subway car window 

with 

the 

iPhone

The D train 

runs 

on an elevated track 

after 2-3 stops underground 

in Bklyn. 

Lots of cell, satellite and water towers and interesting rooftops remind me of the El in the Bronx

Last stop 

Coney Island/Stillwell Avenue 

all off 

for fun in the sun  

All the photos are SOOC 

(straight out of the camera)

 a 

fabulous

 'Lichtenstein'-ish

 mural 

inside the station

walk out 

into the sunshine 

and 

see the construction 

going on 

where 

Astroland 

used to be 

now 

just 

the 

awesome 

Cyclone 

sits 

adjacent 

to the new 

Lunar Park

thanks for joining me

on Fridaycation

come on back to see the rest of the fun

oh

since ToonMan didnt make the trek

all he got was this
