The Last Stop of the 6 train.
A couple of weeks ago I walked with Monika from home to the last stop of the 6 train, we usually take the QB1 two stops to the 6 train but because Monika is pregnant and cannot ride bike like we used to ( to work ) We try to take walks sometimes. So on the way back I shot these photos. I like the contrast of nature and trees to cement, cars, bikes and steel. At this point just across from Pelham Bay Park the contrast is most evident. The highway that passes by is I95 New England Thruway/ The Bruckner Expressway the interchange I think its to refered on the new when it gets backed up.
This was just outside the trainstation a bridge that crosses the expressway over to Pelhambay Park and the bus that takes you to Orchard Beach. Its good to see someone bikes to the train.
This is the bike path to Orchard Beach from the side of Pelham Bay Park just across from the walkway bridge to the trainstation.
This is an old NYPD/NYFD call box. These used to be all over the city and hooked up to dispatchers that could relay emergencies to the nearest police or fire departments. Now they are just cool relics scattered through out the 5 boros.
Just on the otherside of the bike/walk path in the photo above are these trees and some benches to sit on. Its very peaceful and green!
This was on the walk/bike path back home to Co-Op City. In the back round is an Express Bus and in the front is a tattered American Flag that fell off a car and is just caught on a metal marker off the express way. This is for Martin who has many American flag photos and loves the express bus.
This is one of the walk/bike way bridges that cross over roads or railroad tracks on the way back home.
