Why walk with no camera???
July 1, 2009 pm31 8:11 pm
Took a Bronx walk this morning, almost 6 miles, zigzag around 149/138, then a shot up the valley east of the Concourse, ending at Tremont and Webster.
Then a straight shot, almost 4 miles, this afternoon, from Westchester Square, straight up Williamsbridge, across Allerton, skirting the Botanical Gardens, again crossing Webster.
I wouldn’t have taken many photos, but…
- The red-tailed hawk perched precariously on an upper window ledge, at Hostos Community College.
- The monument to Major Deegan (real guy. think he doled out lots of patronage)
- The east west side of Franz Sigel Park – damp and dank and shady and musty… (west, west, not east, which I’ve walked by dozens of times. This was my first time on the Walton side)
- Some of the narrow streets around the Hub. I forgot they were so small.
- The funny mix of old buildings and newer houses and remaining empty lots and community gardens along Sherman Avenue.
- The mall in Mt Eden Parkway.
- Some good shots capturing both the Cross Bronx and regular people stuff, like playgrounds, buildings, stores. How can such a busy, choked, pollution-generating gash of concrete have been built right where people live and sleep? NIMBY? Not in anyone’s backyard!
- Pelham Parkway. Driving it, it’s easy to forget what an oasis it is.
- Mulberries and Lindens. Images of favorite tastes and smells.
- The Bronx River, flowing swiftly.
- Chipmunk. He would have disappeared before I could snap his picture, but I would have tried.
if I’d brought a camera.
