Just Tracks And A Fence (photographed by Gloria Buono-Daly, NYC, 2004) captures a rusted fence atop the 96th Street overpass, overlooking the Metro-North train tracks. The rust speaks to aging — no longer pristine, yet full of character and beauty. The fence serves as a metaphor for life’s boundaries, reminding us to pause, find stillness amid movement, and stay mindful of our direction. It’s a quiet dialogue between decay and resilience, caution and momentum.
