Look around next time you are running for a train, it might be worth catching the next one just to look at these up close. I saw these last night.

The Downtown side is titled "Shad Crossing" and details two giant shad fish "swimming", along with another wall mosaic of blue waters. In the late 19th century, these shad were found along the Hudson River when new immigrants came to New York, most of them settled on the Lower East side. The new staircase to the relocated F/T booth also has another painting of a shad wrapped around the bottom of the stairs. The Uptown side is titled "Delancey Orchard"; it has a cherry orchard tree mosaic, which symbolized the tree owned by the Delancey family in the 18th century. Along all staircases leading from the F line platforms to either fare control are miniature versions of these paintings</i> (edit: They say "paintings" but they are large mosaics made to look like paintings :))<br />From <a href="http://www.stationreporter.net/deless.htm">Station Reporter</a><br /><a href="http://nycsubway.org/perl/artwork">Check out this site</a> for more beautiful mosaic works of art in NYC Subways :)<br /></center>C Merryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02889678088884100262noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620940260130112768.post-57268813570131462082010-10-14T15:56:00.001-04:002010-10-14T15:59:14.500-04:00I am Art of Day's Featured Artist Today! :)<center><br />THANK YOU "Art of Day" for making me today's featured artist!

I look forward to seeing all the videos as they come in since it was posted people were filming in every country on our planet yesterday. If they didn't have cameras they were sent to them and will be collected over the next 30 days. I know the lives of people are so different and I hope to see the good the bad, happy and sad- the real lives we live here on our blue marble. It will increase our understanding of our fellow humans, be aware of the happy stories and the stories that need help to find happiness. All of us live here, we need to know what the lives of others are like, this planet we share isn't really that big.<br />Hope you had a great 10/10/10 :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiad8v7XCgjfvpHo6vPLfYLs5Xlasqmsg91Sq0Lrm0kwjUKJ64lVxDePxolCBNy05LHANNajBj53jSeQ9QwtPm78TqbbsH3s2Tu1wd6-Big_A7mXQzgVL7nEp5Khvbg__PMnmyP2XsTkMY/s1600/earth.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer;
