Of Columbus Circle fame
I was just taking a picture of the statue of Christopher Columbus, who seemed very out of place among the skyscrapers hundreds of feet to either side. That didn’t really pan out, but I did find it interesting having Columbus posing above the hurried man crossing the street.
It just so happens that there is another Christopher Columbus Statue in Riverdale, constructed by Robert Moses when he built the Henry Hudson Parkway. (Clearly, I don’t know the whole story.) I rode my bike up there, but didn’t get a chance to photograph the gent; perhaps another trip will take me there.
