Since the last two entries were about birds, I thought I'd post a cameraphone photo I took yesterday... low quality, but the subject is good... When I got onto the PATH train yesterday afternoon, I noticed a pigeon walking around inside the train... which isn't unheard of, since at Newark Penn Station, they hold the trains for several minutes with both sets of doors open, on each side of the train... and often the birds wander through. This time, though, the pigeon hung out for a while... and decided to fly free just as the bell rang and the doors slid shut. Lucky...

Forgotten Memorial

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

Immediately following WW1, trees were planted along Eastern Parkway to memorialize the locals who died in in the war. Bronze plaques were placed at the base of each tree, with the particular name of a fallen fighter... But then the trees died or were cut down in the wake of public-works projects, their lush beds now filled with gravel, broken glass and trash... This plaque was dedicated to some long-forgotten, long-dead army private from another generation. Now, even the plaque is gone. How quickly we forget...

Lunch Truck

author: Peter : Newark, NJ

One of the many lunch trucks parked around Newark... They open at dawn, selling egg-and-cheese-on-a-roll, Taylor pork-roll sandwiches, danishes, coffee and doughnuts. At lunch, they change over to a fare of Philly cheesesteaks, gyros, burgers and fries, chips, fish sandwiches, grilled cheeses, sodas and kebabs. They make a killing, selling their junk food... p.s: im using some new cameraphone software that leads to higher resolutions, larger-format images and clearer shots. What do you think?

Graveyard Train

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

Along Bay Parkway, around Avenue X, the Coney Island-bound Stillwell Avenue F line subway runs through Washington Cemetery. Indeed, it is as creepy from inside the train as it is from outside... Note the Verrazano Bridge silhouetted behind the train... Some random, colorful tarps hanging adjacent the cemetery gates... low image quality is due to taking hurried shots into the sunset as the train passed... I just had to capture it through! nycsubway.org/lines/culver.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMT_Culver_Line www.forgotten-ny.com/SUBWAYS/cul . . . culvershuttle/culver.html
