Space Odyssey in Washington Heights

forttryonparkartThis installment sits in the secluded woods of Fort Tryon Park by the dog run. I think it is a cleverly disguised black monolith from the movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey. Instead of apes jumping up and down to its presence and hum, you have dogs barking around it, perhaps triggering some evolutionary spark in them so that dogs evolve into their anagram: gods. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, visit the black monolith link.

If it’s not a disguised black monolith, then it is an ode to the types of radiators we have in Washington Heights.

    What’s the dog run? Maybe that will help me guess what it might be used for. Odd. Does look like a radiator.

    the dog run meaning the sectioned off area for dog owners to take their dogs and run free. like a playground but for dogs only (complete with playground politics). THis is actually sitting outside of it, I don’t think meant to be connected to it, but my theory stands.
