I finally managed to snap more pictures of NYC subway art. The Chambers Street station on the A and C lines is another one of my favorite subway art stops, so I am pleased to share this one with you.

A Beluga whale, Delphinapterus leucas, reads a newspaper over a human's shoulder as he waits for the train to arrive.

This is my favorite in this series of artwork. I really like the idea of having a Beluga looking over my shoulder, reading, while I wait for the train.

This looks like a harbor seal, Phoca vitulina,
(doesn't the seal look like he's wearing glasses??)

Okay, let's move on to another subway station that I like a lot more than Elizabeth Grajales' Penn Station subway art. This subway station is the uptown and downtown platforms at the Houston Street station where the 1 train stops. This station is rather amusing, in my opinion, for reasons that will become apparent to you as we further explore the artwork at this station.

as portrayed in tiles on the walls of the Pennsylvania Station platform for the NYC subway stop (1-2-3) at West 34th street. Even though the patterns remain identical, each detail is colored a little differently from the others.
