It can become a rather intense submersion & vehicle for study, should a person trained to look at the world around them as an anthropologist, be thrust into the end of day rush-hour commute home to New Jersey from Penn Station at 33rd St between 8th & 7th Avenues in Manhattan. Mobs of people enter the building at once, amidst transients and awkward tourists, as they run against the grain of each other's mob force like a scene out of 300, trying to get a good seat on the Dover line which is boarding on track 11, while the Montclarions rush for the Montclair-Boonton line at track 2. It doesn't help that the Transit Authorities seem to like to keep the waiting area at around 89 degrees all year round. This photo, like most in my blog, was taken with my mobile handset. It depicts a rather typical scene for those hoping to catch the 5:45 train home.
