After the orthopedic surgeon has finished making me scream for the day (hopefully, no surgery will be scheduled), I plan to visit the subway entrance at West 77th and Central Park West to capture more images to share with you. There are at least ten more images at that entrance, unless I photograph each and every one of…

I have taken dozens of pictures of what you see here, but because I have a broken arm, the previous images were…
