On the train back home. Judging from their animated conversation my fellow passengers seem to have had a good time in the city…as did I!

Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
As I was standing on the platform waiting for my train to arrive, I noticed this sculpture on the other side of the tracks. It was very dark and I wasn’t too hopeful about getting a picture. But after some manipulation in Adobe Photoshop, it turned out OK.

Taken at Scarborough station, Briarcliff Manor, NY as I waited for a Metro North train to take me into New York City.
On the way back I apparently didn’t ‘Mind the gap’ well enough. As I stepped off the train my foot caught on the edge of the platform and over I went. Thankfully apart from a scrape on my forehead no damage was done. I was actually worried about my camera more than myself, but it escaped with with a couple of small scratches on the underside of the lens hood. I can live with that, and anyway lens hoods aren’t expensive to replace.

I usually take pictures while walking the dog in the woods. However, of late I find the woods rather boring. There are only so many pictures of bare trees, dead trees, brown dead leaves, rock walls, boulders etc. that you can take.
So instead of the woods I decided to walk the dog around our neighborhood in Briarcliff Manor, NY. Although this post is the first in the series of pictures of areas I can walk to from the house, I’ve also decided to go back over old posts and, where appropriate assign them to the same “Around the Neighborhood’ category.
