Where the Streets have no name

When I started my walk to the office this mornings the Song Where the streets have no name by U2 was the first song that came on my playlist and led to todays shots, if you are not aware of the song I have included a link to it at the end of the post.
I have been a Fan of U2 for a long time and especially there older Music I saw them in concert once in Sarajevo, the first live concert there, after the fighting and the experience was amazing I must say myself and everyone there had an absolute blast.

As for my day, a fairly short walk to work this morning as i had early meetings, but with walking to and from work and out and back for lunch I managed to get in my personal goal of 7.5K steps and a little more. But other than that it was a fairly busy workday so nothing exciting to report about.

Starting with a couple of shots taken with my phone, as I usually do in evening posts, this first one is one that came to me to share tonight as I was walking around today and that will be explained later in the post how it ties in totodays shots, but for now this Street does have no name as I forget where I took this shot but I think it was in Soho and I do love seeign Cobblestone Streets

Now it may look like i am walking down the middle of Lexington Ave at great risk, but thats not the case i was crossing over on a Pedestrian crossing and alert to what traffic was doing around me for all these shots

And here I am looking along Third Ave, I used the vivid filter on the iPhone camera App for these first couple of shots which makes it look brighter that it was, the Sun was only just about to rise as I took these shots

And now after I crossed Second Ave looking towards First ave down 46th Street I noticed the external construction Elevator had even taken down.

Now you make think the traffic is not that bad considering what you may have heard or seen of traffic in Manhattan, but these shots were taken before 7AM and trust me even half an hour later the traffic will start building up.

On a letter walk I thought shots of just the street may be boring so I got this shot in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, and it was this shot with th paved path that lead me to add the shot of the cobblestone Street to start this post with.

I am not sure that shot made this post any more interesting but these are the shots I got today I guess an uninteresting day with work getting in the way LOL

Some Streets around the city have bike lanes as you can see in the next shot

Speaking about Cyclists, watch out for them if you ever visit NYC, now most drivers see to understand the concept of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, but cyclists Well they can be....

Many of them think that everyone should give way to them and that traffic lights and pedestrian crossing do not apply to them, I have had some close calls and seen pedestrians hit many times by cyclists

And here is the Song by U2

And that’s all folks
