Crossing this street has always been a hazard. In the 19th century you had to look out for horse drawn carriages. In the 20th century it was automobiles. In the 21st century it is usually bikers, but today to cross this street you had to dodge between 25,000 runners competing in the New York Half Marathon. Of course they could have walked 100 yards and crossed through a beautiful arcade under the road and avoided the possible collisions. Canon 5Dmarkiii, Tamron 28-300@86mm, ISO 800, 1/1500@f8
