Urban Ubiquities: The Crosswalk

The crosswalk, a pedestrian staple in any urban environment. Not only do they assist with pedestrians crossing the street in an organized and safe manner, but they also provide for me a basis to compose an interesting shot. Here are a few examples:

At the corner of M and Wisconsin Streets in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington DC.


Near the corner of Lenox and 125th in the neighborhood of Harlem in Manhattan, New York City...


This crosswalk was taken on a weary stretch of East Washington Street in the Wholesale District of Indianapolis...


I originally titled this shot in Flickr as SSRI Crosswalk, but wasn't a hit; I suppose a few psychiatrist may find it humorous, but hey, this blog doesn't have the appropriate branding. This crosswalk was taken at the corner of Calvert and Connecticut Avenue in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood of Washington DC.


The crosswalk between jail and bail; taken in downtown Indianapolis, near the City County Building and the County Jail in Indianapolis...


Brooklyn's response to The Beatles' album Abbey Road. This crosswalk is near the crossings of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues, near the neighborhoods of Prospect Heights and Park Slope.

Most of these shots have been geotagged, and may be viewed by clicking on each image...
