An Ode to Concrete
Story
Concrete is the most widely used man-made material in the world. It is hidden under the surface of the city: forming the foundations of skyscrapers, snaking underground as tunnels, retaining tons of earth laterally to clear space for inhabitation, or anchoring the steel structure of the elevated train lines. New York is, after all, the concrete jungle.

Post
Construction on the elevated trestle at the 161st Street station of the IRT Jerome Avenue (Woodlawn) line, March 30, 1916. Today, the station sits in the shadow of the new Yankee Stadium, but at the time of the photo the Yankees were still playing across the river at the Polo Grounds.
