Washington Heights, 155th Street at Broadway

The Church of the Intercession is behind me and I'm heading for the subway on 157th Street. I didn't cover a lot of territory on this walk, but it seemed to be unusually packed with stuff we need to know about. There's nothing you need to know about this photograph.

We're walking up 155th Street toward Broadway. Washington Heights and The Audubon Terrace Museum Group on one side; Harlem and the Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum on the other. Just don't ask me who those figures are between the pillars or how the street suddenly became paved with bricks.

The map gets kind of strange here with 155th Street going under Riverside Drive – see that railing on the right? That's where it goes under, but of course there's a split because this is the upper part of 155th Street. Then Riverside splits here and curves way in to 158th Street and almost to Broadway and then curves back out. Of course this necessitates some pretty curvy buildings, which I always enjoy, marveling that they can get those bricks to bend.
