Mind the gap

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.

Around the Neighborhood – Southbound Metro North Train

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.
