This big smile is from a subway ad on which people are talking about how they saw something suspicious and reported it to the police. They are happy to be good citizens. The message: we must remain vigilant (even though suspicious objects are innocuous almost 100% of the time). You never know.

Catch it now, at 15th Street on the F Train. It will be probably be there until an ad is stuck on top of it.

Seen on the floor of the F Train. Everyone was sitting at one end of the subway car because there was a pile of barf at the other end of the train. We were imagining a pleasant peppermint aroma.

It’s a sensory overload, across the street from the new Smith & 9th subway station. The re-done building is like our local Bilbao, so it’s only appropriate that red, white, and blue foil banners are among the complementary shiny visual distractions nearby.

I haven’t tried out the escalator yet, but how often do you get to stand on a brand new subway platform? It’s a rare and special thing: the Smith & Ninth Street station reopened today after extensive renovations. Three-second rules for dropped food don’t apply, that’s how fresh and clean this station is!

NYC buses tend toward extremes: either fairly fast or slower than walking. This ride, a quick one, was curious for the one guy’s hair. I didn’t know people still put shapes on their scalps, other than at World Series time.

Heading into Fourth Avenue from Carroll Street, I was standing at the door of the F Train taking pictures, killing time because I didn’t have a seat. Trackwork goes on, and Smith & Ninth is still closed. The light was nice, though. The reflection of the interior subway light looks like a contrail.

When I saw this picture, I felt like I was peering into an outdoor subway car at night, like the F Train at Fourth Avenue, rather than a street-corner laundromat. Life takes an occasional surreal turn, but don’t think too much about where the water and electricity for the mobile washers and dryers might come from.

Magic hour on the platform, with an incoming Queens-bound F train. Elevated platforms shake, sometimes alarmingly, so getting a focused shot can be a challenge.

The bus is practical for some routes, but it can be slow, too, and claustrophobic. Sometimes you want to make a quick exit out the back door and just start running, regardless of your destination.
