Pleasantville, NY. Waiting for the MTA Train

This was taken through a window and it’s one of those pictures that I like, but which I can’t articulate exactly why. Maybe it’s the way the train tracks curve around? Maybe it’s the looming clouds? Maybe it’s the balloons (or whatever they are) in the tree to the right? Maybe all of the above? Who knows?

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.

Taken with a Fuji X-E1 and Fuji XC 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS II
