Broken Window and Cinder Blocks, High Line Park

October 3, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

A broken window in a brick wall with cinder blocks behind, High Line Elevated Park, New York.

This odd window set against a solid cinder block wall was alongside the High Line Park in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. I am always intrigued by odd brick patterns, including those where someone has painted the bricks. The image of the smashed window “opening” to a solid wall was also compelling, and in a larger print there are some very interesting patterns, colors, and textures in the broken glass and the bits of paint on the window.

A street scene on 10th Avenue between 19th and 20th streets in Chelsea, photographed in evening light from the High Line Park.

A rather plain street scene, but uncharacteristically empty of cars and pedestrians, as seen from the High Line Elevated Park in Chelsea. Shot on the evening of our first full day in New York in mid-August, just after sunset as a few clouds passed over Manhattan.

Brick Walls and Building Near High Line Park

September 14, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Brick walls and a building under construction above the High Line Elevated Park, New York City.

Another bit of architecture photographed from the High Line Elevated Park in Chelsea on a summer evening in August. The most interesting features of this evening included the “mackerel sky” clouds to the west, which are reflected in the windows of the upper building, and the warm light of early evening. The juxtapositions of angles and textures (especially the bricks and the glass windows) got my attention as we walked along the High Line. I cannot identify the building, but it appears to be under construction.

Detail, Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine

September 12, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Exterior detail of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City.

After traveling uptown to the general area of Columbia University for a breakfast visit to a bakery that had been recommended to us we wandered across the street to the grounds of this famous and imposing cathedral. We began in the sculpture building next to the church, and this photograph was made from that general area, taking advantage of the soft and diffused light of this overcast day.
