UNDER THE RAILS

I ran into this spectacular view on my way to Dinosaur BBQ.  My initial reaction was to get lined up directly under center and capture a typical symmetric shot.  Man, those get sooo boring.  There is no effort involved in that.  Trying to find a spot to shoot this WITHOUT being perfectly center, now that brings forth a bit of a challenge!  Do I go left, do I go right?  Do I go up or down?  Well I went left, largely in part because that was where the Dinosaur BBQ was so I had to walk over there anyway

You are looking at the underbelly of Riverside Dr while standing on W 125th Street in NYC.  I love the iron, the arches, the straights lines, the curves, and its massiveness.  Probably would have missed it to if I didn’t get my head out of the ground once in awhile.
