Washington Heights, Broadway at 157th Street

Today was one of those days when I had nothing scheduled and I could look at my map and pick any place at all for a photowalk. I like those days. It may be anticlimactic to tell you I decided to take the subway to 157th Street and walk down Broadway to 145th Street and take the subway home. But if you could see my map, you'd understand. There are only 4 more sections of Broadway to cover. Once that's done, I'll have a connection the length of Manhattan.

However, it was not to be. I did get off at 157th Street. Right here, in fact. This was about 4:40 on a beautiful fall day. Take a look down the street because this is all you will see of the block between 157th and 156th. A typical Broadway block. Then across the street is a little triangle with benches and trees. I don't know if it has a name, but it is a pleasant, if spartan place to sit and gaze up at pigeons in the trees.
