Description
Toynbee Tile - NYC
I had heard of the Toynbee Tiles but had never really looked for one. Then, one day on a trip to NYC I looked down at a pedestrian crossing and there was one just below my feet.
I do know when this one was laid down, but it was damaged, so probably many years.
I like the idea of it being framed by the white line of the crossing and the metal loop on the edge of the sidewalk. The pieces of broken tail light, cigarette butt and yellowing leaves add another pieces of urban life to the story...
