Stained glass windows and their doubles made of sunlight.

For #FensterFreitag (submitting early, as I’ll be on the road soon). More info in the alt text.

A row of laminated glass windows stretches across the wall of an elevated subway station and recedes into the distance (converging with a line of fluorescent lights on the ceiling). The colored glass panels feature abstract circular compositions that evoke the sun, moon, and other aspects of the cosmos, all done in different rainbow hues. Sunlight streams through the windows and projects their designs onto the floor in colorful squares of light. This is part of an art installation titled “I AM A RAINBOW TOO,” by the Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson, at the Astoria Blvd station in Queens, NY. According to the MTA website, the installation “honors and reflects the evolving and diverse population of people from countless backgrounds and cultures that make up the communities in Astoria, Queens and New York City overall. The artwork focuses on the ROYGBIV colors of the light spectrum, which has long been used by many communities to reflect diversity, inclusivity, and hope. Through this artwork, Gibson embraces and celebrates innumerable cultures by inserting a spectrum of skin tones into the already recognizable rainbow color scheme.”

Scenes from Harold Ickes Playground in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Named for the guy who implemented much of FDR’s New Deal, it’s a skate park with a sculpted climbing rock nearby that looks like a howling dog from certain angles. The building behind it is actually one of the four giant ventilator shafts that keep fresh air moving through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel.

A shirtless skater with a gray helmet, shorts, and knee pads executes a midair move in the skate park, behind a chain link fence and a park bench next to some greenery. The scene is framed by the “legs” of the rocklike climbing sculpture in the foreground, so that we view the skater as if from the entrance of a cave.

A red brick building with rounded corners rises into a blue sky with clouds. It has no windows, but one of its visible sides displays narrow vertical vents with horizontal slats. In front of the building is a faux stone sculpture that serves as a climbing structure in a playground. The foreground is occupied by a pavement of large square tiles, with a curving path at left that leads to a skating area out of frame.

A low-angle, ultra wide-shot color photograph of the buildings surrounding the transportation hub in Lower Manhattan on a clear, sunny day. The dominant feature on the left is the white, ribbed, wing-like structure of the Oculus. Its curved, skeletal form, composed of numerous parallel fins, juts out and upward, leading the eye towards the sky. To the right of the Oculus, the sleek, glass facade of One World Trade Center pierces the sky, reflecting the clouds and the surrounding buildings. In front of One World Trade Center, the low, beige-colored cube of the World Trade Center Performing Arts Center can be seen. Further to the right is 4 World Trade Center, its reflective surface mirroring the clear sky. In the foreground on the right, a vibrant, multi-colored building covered in street art, featuring a large, stylized cartoon face with wide eyes, adds a splash of color and a touch of urban grit to the otherwise clean, modern scene. The ground-level view shows a wide walkway, with a few pedestrians visible. The walkway is lined with trees and planters.
