The D train line is one I rarely find myself on, but the elevated stations on its southern, Brooklyn end, have some intriguing glass art. Recently, I got off the train at the 18th Avenue station take a closer look.
This is Bensonhurst Gardens, by Francesco Simeti. These are made of laminated glass.
Stay tuned for further excursions on this line, when the weather is friendlier to standing on elevated platforms.

Holy cow! In a subway station…you and Just Walking and
Forgotten NY are adding daily to my own fleeting memories of Manhattan in the 50s. Plus we never got outside of Manhattan except for a few terrifying adventures on the wrong trains.-
Oh, things have indeed changed. Some of the subway art is magnificent, some is uh…, and now people can’t wait to get out of Manhattan and into Brooklyn.
