I shot this quickly one clear and pristine morning with my 3MP Nikon at 105mm. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry that day and the location wasn’t a very good place to shoot, so it’s just a single row panorama.

I’m still not sure what the deal is with this building. My guess is that it’s an atelier for artists, since the PS1 is right next door.

MTA Construction at Queensboro Plaza

The MTA is doing something for over a year now, but every day I drive by with the subway, it just looks like a crane playground, with no real work done. Or a place where you could get your crane drivers license. Or just bulldozing for fun? A complete mystery, like most of the MTA’s operations.
Update: it is the 63rd Street Tunnel extension, or east side access, connecting Grand Central Station with Long Island and Amtrak.
