A London Planetree's mottled bark.
I wanted to see the detail of this bark. I jacked up the texture, and the clarity a bit and pulled out the speckled, blotchy textures. At a certain distance, it looks like a topographic map.
Trinity Cemetery in the 150s. This was formerly Audubon's estate and was bought by Trinity in 1842.
A path in Riverside Park heading toward river level.

Ginormous Apartments. Quite possibly the largest apartment building in New York at 3333 Broadway.
