I didn’t think I had Olympic fever. I’m not watching much TV coverage, and the sound is usually off because I can’t stand the yammering of the announcers, and yet, when I took this picture, what did I think of, but men’s gymnastics, the pommel horse! (Krisztián Berki of Humgary was the gold medal winner.)

There’s track work going on at the Smith & 9th Street Station, so there are delays at the platform level. Getting there is a problem, too; at least one of the escalators is not running at any given time here at the highest station in the NYC subway system. The stairs are crowded.

Meant to get off the subway sooner. Didn’t realize it until I’d exited to the street, so I walked a few steps, to this parking lot, took a couple quick pictures, and got back on the subway. I like trees in snow; no sense wasting a photo moment because I was a little lost.

Actually, the green of the platform is neither moss nor astroturf, just an odd lighting effect. If it wasn’t snowy and chilly, I’d like to walk barefoot in it, though.

Clouds and wind mean colder weather. Both at the same time mean stay inside if you can. It’s a little chilly lately, and conditions seem to change from moment to moment. I know it’s December, but still… it’s freeeezing out there!

Hold on tight as the train leaves Smith and 9th heading for Carroll Street; it’s quite a drop, from this angle at least. The trip between these two stations is also a favorite of movie makers because it’s so New York-y: you get a clear, outside view of subway tracks and another of downtown Manhattan.

Yesterday afternoon, the sky was clear blue. When I walked through the Lowe’s parking lot, it seemed like the color was the theme of the day.

Make a U-turn, follow the subway track, and you’ll quickly be in Coney Island, at the Stillwell Avenue station. Said to be the world’s largest elevated subway terminal, it is named after Nicholas Stillwell (1603-1671), a farmer who settled the area.
