Posted by MainR3664 on Mon Feb 1 07:33:12 2016, in response to Re: Possible new 76th Street Evidence and summary, posted by SelkirkTMO on Mon Feb 1 07:17:19 2016. I know what you mean by "stitching". I've seen 2014 morph back to 2011 as I "walked" through a Google Street view. The "stitching" problem is very obvious- and quite literal in the 1924 and all other non-digital aerial images that us buffs all look at as well.That being said, the Street View image that was posted here looks clear and undistorted to me. And I do not perceive the outlines of a subway station and/or tunnel in the cracks in the asphalt. I just see the random poor pavement that can be found almost anywhere in NYC. I do know enough to realize that the cracks are caused either by earth shifting under the pavement, or the pavement having been applied to an uneven surface (I've watched the City pave roads since I was 7- so I see what they do, LOL), whereas potholes are usually caused by expansion (often caused by the freeze/thaw cycle, which is exacerbated by salt) of initially small cracks. And really, all I see in this picture is random cracks. With all due respect to those who see the outline of a man-made structure in those cracks, I think it's a case of seeing what we'd all like to see. I love the subway, I love urban architecture, I love NYC history, and I'd love the 76th Station to exist. But thinking with my head rather than my heart, I think that no more than rudimentary construction took place there, and I don't see any special significance in those cracks in the pavement. |
