Stone House Brook and Route 23, Butler, NJ April 30th, 2013

While walking on Route 23 North, I took these photos.

In the above picture I am looking down the hillside at Stone House Brook from Route 23 North in Butler, NJ

The above two pictures show the relative position between the Ford and Chrysler dealers of where I was taking the first picture. I pinpointed it on google as well.

Walking a little bit further up Route 23, the highway offers pedestrians an overpass to get to the other side of the highway. Since I was going to pick up my car on that side of the highway, it made perfect sense to cross there in safety. The relative height offered a fairly rare view of Route 23 and permitted me to take a photo looking both North and South.

Looking northbound on Route 23

The view southbound.

Restored Sherman tank being transported, Riverdale, NJ

These pictures were taken just on the Riverdale side of the Riverdale/Pequannock line on Route 23 in New Jersey. Walking inside the store, I found the driver and asked where he was taking it, hoping it'd be someplace nearby. Unfortunately they're taking it up to some military institute in Vermont. Turns out they do this kind of restorative work in a place called Belvidere, NJ and then transport the tanks to various museums, collectors, schools....this particular one did not have an operating engine.

Old Payphone Stand, Bloomingdale, NJ - April 24th, 2013

While walking on the Hamburg Turnpike (Main Street) in Bloomingdale, NJ, I came across this old stand where a payphone used to be placed. It occurred to me that what I was looking at was a little piece of history. The day isn’t long when people are going to see these things, wonder what they are and really not really know off the top of their heads. This site is already in a fairly advanced state of disrepair, already, and it really hasn’t been that long since the rise of cellphones and the coincident decline in the use of payphones.

Sacred Heart Cathedral, Newark, NJ

Below is a picture of Sacred Heart Cathedral taken from the side of Clifton Avenue in Newark, NJ. As you can see, there is construction in the foreground of a building that will eventually block this line of sight. The sun was perfectly situated for a side shot on this day, April 1st, 2013, but not for a front shot. Sacred Heart Cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Newark for the Roman Catholic Church

In this picture, also taken on April 1st, 2013, we see the front, but I'd like to return during the morning when the sun will be at my back.
