Morning Walk #21 - West Village & East Village
70 degrees, gray and rainy
The Citibike racks in Chelsea and the West Village are mostly empty. Where did the Sunday riders leave all the bikes?
Lots of people out on a rainy morning
Sidewalks seem smaller when every pedestrian is carrying an umbrella
Looking for covered sidewalks for a respite from the rain
The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary established 1820 to serve the needs of the working poor
Murals on the walls of buildings
Stuyvesant Park with its original 1847 iron fences
The statue of Peter Stuyvesant, director general of New Netherland 1647 - 1664 - apparently intolerant of religions other than Dutch Reformed and also not so friendly with the Native Americans. Maybe having a wooden leg made him grumpy.
At The Friends Seminary (established 1786) a woman bids everyone a Good Morning and shakes the hand of each child and parent entering the school
The GreenMarket on a wet Monday morning...still has some eager customers
Drenched people on their way to work and school...rain, Monday and wet clothes a not so winning combination
Steps: 9610
