On Third Avenue between 11th and 12th an old brick building is being torn down.
I was at first thinking this was a kitchen wall.
But the wallpaper looks more like something for a dining room. Could this apartment have had a dining room?
The Hotel Ludlow, or whatever it is calling itself these days has resumed construction over the past month or so. But I haven’t seen anything substantial happening on the outside.
I was just quietly celebrating the closing up of an East Houston Street trench that they have been noisily working on for the past two months. Today they are resuming the torture on the other side of the street. This dotted line extends between Avenue A and Avenue B. Not only does this construction annoy during the day with construction noise, it continues into the night with idiots honking their horns because of the congestion.
That’s the spire of Grace Church on the middle left of the pano.
Lafayette Street, Collonade Row in the center.
The Schermerhorn Building: 380 Lafayette Street, New York, N.Y. 10003 Built: April 7, 1888, to Feb. 25, 1889
The closest conjunction was on Tuesday, this photo was taken on Wednesday. Jupiter is on the left, Venus the right. Though Venus is a much smaller planet it is much closer to us and covered in reflective clouds. If you see a very bright object in the sky and it is not a UFO it is generally Venus.
Work has resumed on that skeletal framework of a building next to The Ludlow, that was abandoned in 2008.
Venerable old East Village church, often involved in politics and protest. In 1828, the church steeple, the design of which is attributed to Martin Euclid Thompson and Ithiel Town, in Greek Revival style, was erected. It’s a 3 photo panorama. You can see a ghost person artifact in the middle. That’s one of the hardest things to avoid when shooting a panorama on busy city streets. In the summer the tree leaves obscure the shape of the building.
