A beautiful cobblestone street, just North of Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, New York.
Washington Mews is a private gated street in New York City between 5th Avenue and University Place just north of Washington Square Park. It was originally a mews (row of stables) that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing, offices and other facilities for New York University.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Mews
Greenwich Village has always had a well-developed street layout that made it impossible for city commissioners to impose the street grid plan that was given to the rest of the city in 1811. Though Greenwich Village had been very hilly in the early 1800s, its hills have been leveled over the years. Its narrow, winding streets and occasional alleys still remain from its early days. The Village is an alley-hunter's dream, with plenty of "mapped" alleys as well as several secret ones from which the public is kept out by lock and key. Here are just a few of the alleys of The Village.

In 1950, New York University leased the entire alley. Gradually, more and more homes have been vacated by their original occupants and reserved for use as faculty residences and offices. Some include the Deutsches Haus, the Gluckman Ireland House, the Institute of French Studies, and La Maison Française.
Not every alley can be truly called a Mews. In fact Mews is a British term used to describe a small street lined with homes that are converted stables. Washington Mews is a true Mews and might be the only one in New York City.

I know you've already seen this, but I wanted you to see the film version too.
The digital version of this was cropped quite a bit more. This was due to curvature/distortion that occurs with a wider angle lens. I just didn't like the look of that in the digital version, so I straightened it as much as I could and cropped it.
My intention all along was to include what you see here in this film version; the grass, the vines on the building, the downspouts and the yellow flowers, (they tie in with the sign color). Personally, I find this shot more interesting. Also, the colors, (especially the red), are more true.
So there you have it. I think this demonstrates one of the benefits of a fixed, prime 50mm lens as well as the color and the look you get with film.
Your comments and thoughts are welcome....and thanks for following along!
P.S. Yes, I sometimes walk around with two cameras. People stare. What are you gonna do?

Although I hadn't planned on a foot gear series, this photo was also taken during my trip to Amsterdam, and manipulated a bit in photoshop. It's quite different from those wooden shoes, anyway!
The main building of this hotel is connected to the pink guest house via the balcony on the left side.

"Manhattan's Disappointed Flat Seekers Find Brooklyn Homes Awaiting"
The (New York) Sun, Sunday, 21 October 1917
Brooklyn is getting a proportionate share of the tenants who find themselves without accommodations as the result of a lack of apartments in Manhattan. Many of the newcomers are turning to Flatbush and Albermarle Terrace is making a strong appeal to them. This high class little development consists of a row of one family houses built after the Colonial style of architecture on either side of Albermarle Terrace, a street which extends from Flatbush avenue to Kenmore place. Entrance to the terrace is through an arcade from Flatbush Avenue and over this arcade the Midwood Associates have erected a building containing bachelor apartments, a novelty to Flatbush. The terrace is on historic ground, being part of the estates of John and Jeremiah Lott and Abby Wells, who were among the first settlers in the section. In the rear one side of the terrace is the site of the First Church of Christ Scientist and on the opposite side, in the rear of the houses is the parsonage of the Old Dutch Reformed Church of Flatbush, assuring permanency in the character of the neighborhood. Near by is Erasmus Hall High School. The arcade opens on a portion of Flatbush avenue which is given over almost entirely to business, making the terrace development a delightful home community with all the desired conveniences right at hand.
Notes:
The houses of Albemarle Terrace form part of Albemarle-Kenmore Terraces Historic District, which was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1978 and listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1983. They are well preserved and undoubtedly retain a strong appeal. However, several of the elements mentioned in this 1917 news article, when these homes were newly built, have changed. The open arcade to Flatbush Avenue is now sealed closed. The parsonage building was moved to a new location in 1920, from Flatbush Avenue to the north side of Kenmore Terrace; as such it is still a neighbor to Albermarle Terrace. Kenmore Place is now known as East 21st Street. The First Church of Christ Scientist, later known as the Third Church of Christ Scientist, is now the house of worship of the Flatbush Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

The first installation of this unique vertical garden was completed in September 2007. The garden consists of over 500 plants and 80 different species.
