“Da wo ich wohne” / Where I live

New York is often seen as a walkable city, which it is, but highways still rip through many neighborhoods — particularly in the outer boroughs with poorer, browner residents. Just a few minutes’ walk from my more pedestrian-friendly neighborhood is this elevated section of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, an environment built more for cars than for people.

The umbrella’s ribs cast sharp, parallel shadows across the figure’s back, while sheep huddle beneath its shelter. This quiet moment suggests refuge amid urban isolation—why does the rain blur the street’s edges but leave the sheep’s wool so precisely defined?

Posting this for #MonochromeMarch and I see I’m also in time to join in on #MotoringMonday. This was taken on a footbridge crossing a tangle of freeways: the I-478 and the I-278, a.k.a. the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. You can see the Manhattan skyline in the distance, though I’m guessing this isn’t a popular vantage point.
