Arty Hunters Point Ave.

I normally don't like "arty" photos -- that focus on a precious scene or detail that "looks like art" because it fulfills some cliché -- but I do like walking through the hinterlands of Long Island City along Hunters Point Ave. (centered on 30th St. [map]), and the area lends itself to arty shots.

On top, the still working Hunterspoint Steel, with the permanently skewed window.  Below, the somber Vermeer end of Dutch Kills from the Hunters Point Ave. Bridge.


Below left, a contorted window guard on 30th Pl. near the LIE that reminds me of 3D wireframe images.  Then below right, a sight I saw one frigid day from the Ave. that looks like the sculptures put out by Roxy Paine's PMU.


And finally, below, convict striped guard poles that have somehow kept a hydrant standing on 30th Pl. near the LIE.
