The Forgotten New York
I lived New York about 4 years, when i was 15 i moved from China to the U.S. The first place i was visited is the JFK airport. I was surprised like a slum just came from the small town. Next, when my father drived me on the way home, i saw many luxury buildings and the bridges. The first bridge i saw is the one which contacts the Stanten Island and Manhattan.Now, i still feel that this bridge is the most beautiful one on New York, but there is a paradox that i didn't know the name of this bridge. After that, i live in Brooklyn, and everyday i just go to chinatown and back to Brooklyn repeatly expect school (College). When i go to the website: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/ i saw many pictures and i just know that there are many photo stories on old, odd, and forgotten aspects in New York, the infrastructure of a lost metropolis. Even you didn't live here, but you can find more interestings in this website.
I chose a picture called Day In Court after I read all those pictures. The reason that i chose this picture is i had been Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Court street station before. I connected to the link of this picture. I view the organizations about the inside and outside of the station. Compared to what i really saw, the station is older than the picture looked. There are tow pictures about the specimen at Court and Montague, shot with a flash and without. The differentiation is telling us the true color of the specimen. Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit decorated its stations with mosaic pieces depicting churches that are found when you climb the steps to the street. The design of this mosaic is same as the stained glass window of the Holy Trinity Church, which is located at the entrance of Montague and Clinton Streets. The mosaic is very beautiful. Even though the mosaic was installed, but still too old for people to enjoy.
