Description
This is the southern view of the Henry Street Underpass. You can see the heavy growth of shrubs surrounding and the slope in the street described for the first print. To the bottom left of the steel "X" you can see one the drains that tend to work very slowly when rainstorms hit and cause the street to transform into a small river.
Large wall spaces like this and the one facing it are hard for graffiti artists to resist. It would nice if city officials were to authorize some of the more talented graffiti artists around to cut loose and beautify the space with some of their most imaginative images.
As with the Henry Street Underpass Number 1 photograph, this one was also shot in color using an applied sepia filter to accent the antique-like design of the historic underpass itself. The mixed-media abstract art used for the frame is similar in style to the first's but different in color scheme and pattern.

Can't argue about the need to fix bridges collapsing all over the world. Thanks for commenting VIVA Anderson.

Thank you Jeff. This underpass is almost like something from a different time.

Appreciate that very much Arthur. I'm told the area flooded a few days ago and drivers again got stuck trying to ease their cars through the water.

Thank you Geraldine and Wes. This overpass always seems to me like a throwback from another era, maybe because I lived in the area as a boy and used to get a kick walking beneath it when a train was rolling overhead.
