From Union Square to the office

This morning on the train ride into the city it was raining but it stopped just before I got to the city and the temp was reasonable at 39F ( about 4C ) so I decided it a a good day for a morning walk, so I caught the subway and went to 1th Street Union Square and decided to walk from there to the office, I am always more motivated when I get to the office if I can get a walkin before hand so it was a good start to the day, a rather uneventful day in the office, with me now having officially given notice to retire it seems less work may come my way, so I may find the days seem longer or I will have to take more telecommute days over my last 3 and a bit months LOL.
By lunchtime the sun was out so I went for a little walk both before and after lunch and got an OK step count in for today

Its a shame the Flat Iron Building is covered up at the moment but I am sure the work needs to be done and it will look refreshed when done, here is a shot from earlier in the year showing some of the cool detail

At lunch time I walked around Times square quickly for a shot I had missed the other day and a few others, this shot is not from today but the previous visit

Going there at midday reminded me why I hate going there at that time it was fairly busy but the hawkers were out in full force trying to get money out of tourists, the ones dressed up in costumes try to pose for a photo for you, for money, of course, can be so pushy

And a Shot actually from today, I took a similar shot with my cell phone which you can see later in the post,

and I hate to say it but I may even prefer the shot with my cell phone lOL, maybe because it is in Mono, I have time before posting so let me try another version

OK I like this version better what do you think?

Some shots with my iPhone on this mornings walk

As I mentioned above I started my walk when I got off the subway in Union Square, and I saw they have the holiday Market setup, it wasn't open when I was there, not sure if it is open officially yet or not but t looks like a big market with lots of stalls

The Market wast open but this mobile Cardio vascular test centre was opening up as I passed it, first time I have seen this, I do have a Follow up with my Vascular Dr in a couple of weeks so I will wait and do it then not use this truck

In Union Square Park they have this statue of Ghandi, which I had to get a shot of

And another thing I seem to always get a shot of when in this area is this building and feature, the feature with the hand at the top is an art piece called the Metronome and was installed in 1999.

The Numbers you can see beside it are a piece called the passage, it shows the time in 24 Hour Format with the seven left digits and the seven digits on the right show the amount of time remaining in the day in tenths of a second.
Which also shows why the market wasn’t open with it being just 7AM when I was there

And finishing off with another Mono shot as I was walking back to 46th Street and my office I passed this corner where you could see the low clouds around the top of the EmpireState Building.

And that’s all folks
