Daylight, on the B Train to Manhattan

Photo by myself on the B train, on the Manhattan Bridge.

Just a typical view of my morning commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

The B, D and Q trains are bathed in light while crossing the Manhattan Bridge. The contrast can be striking after traveling through a dark subway tunnel.

During the minute or two in mid-air, people refresh their phones for email. Some might make a quick call to work or home. You hear a lot of hurried conversations, since at the moment, cell phones don't work in the subway tunnels.

As you can see, one fellow brought a bike on the train. On a busy day, you might be smushed next to a baby carriage, a cello, luggage or a bouquet of roses. I once brought a large raccoon trap on the train (!) when I helped rescue a cat from the city streets.

I have yet to see someone carrying a live chicken, but that doesn't mean it will never happen! Haha.
