Track 5, Newark Penn Station
Newark, NJ - Peter - Thursday, May 5th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Track 5, Newark Penn Station disappearing to the vanishing point.
Another of Track 5... the overhead skylights allowed enough sun to shine in and make the colors so vivid.
One of two main entrances to the station. The overhanging roof simply proclaims "Pennsylvania", as a testament to hte Pennsylvania Railroad, the corporation of yore responsible for constructing both this station in Newark and its bigger brother, Penn Station at 34th street in Manhattan, one stop south of Times Square, the major station where all the commuter rail exits NYC, New Jersey bound.
The overhead walkway that leads from the arriving tracks of the station and crosses the street, leading into the Newark Hilton and corporate/convention centers, as well as some major corporate offices/headquarters located immediately next to the station. Each day, scores of commuters exit the PATH train and jog over this bridge to work in their cubicles at MBNA, Prudential, IDT, etc...

i am not always 100% with your vanishing point obsession, peter, but this time it's positively vorticist. i also like the vertical swimming pool you got there. are these camphone?
Peter: 5th May 2005 - 17:19 GMT

how on earth do you know? you night hate it! i want to snap the clock at bethnal green tube, the sign for a cafe which seems to be called 'cafe open' and a sign that says 'nicks barbers' which is either a deliberate double entendre or just daft signage... none of which adds up to a posting, but you never know what i will see tomorrow, apart from my dentist baring down on me with the prongy grabby drilly things

thats the whole point of this site- the banalities of an everyday urban existence that, though familiar and perhaps uninteresting to you, might be fascinating to people who have never been to your city or country, never seen all the oddities around you that you take for granted, etc. i really like london and would love to visit it someday, but until then, i have to just look at photos. i like it when individuals post random stuff here because its stuff id likely not ever be able to see otherwise :)
nicks barbers sounds funny. it reminds me of this barbershop in nyc's chinatown:

hee hee hee but you still don't know if it would be 'awesome' it might be as banal as fuck... anyway you know i am just yanking your chain for being an enthusiastic american puppy, which is a good USP

herbsta: that's right, even in Brussels we spotted it
