There is a junction of three streets near my home, Amsterdam Avenue, 162nd Street, and and St. Nicholas Avenue that I usually pass through on my photo walks. There are always interesting people and faces to photograph in this area. There is a subway stop and a small unnamed triangular park. This woman was hunched over her walker just outside of a bodega on one of the corners. I just liked the peaceful her face, contrary to the hustle all around her.

The concrete-dominated, unadorned railway underpass is part of the station in Pulheim, a medium-sized town west of Cologne. The numerous mounted bike racks are hardly used despite the morning rush hour, obviously because the atmosphere here is quite uncomfortable and parking the bikes in this remote place is hardly theft-proof. A planning mistake on the part of the city? The individual bicycle makes the abandonment of the place clear.
