WHERE WAS I? As usual, it's in New York City. Anyone can play—just leave your guesses in the comments section using a distinct moniker (not Anonymous). Enjoy! Please!

A close-up of one of Martin Puryear's pieces at the MoMA?
Nice try, Debbie, but no!
The Rose Center for Earth & Science, Hayden Planetarium?
Cooler, Ellen!
Irish Hunger Memorial at the corner of Vesey Street and North End Avenue?
Were you outside?
scott, potatoes did cross my mind!
You're cool, too, Scott. But it is outside, Myra.
A tree trunk in Central Park?
You're cooler too, Debbie!
Zen skate park under the overpass near the East River?
Brrr, Scott. But riddle me this: What is the zen of one skate parking?
North of 42nd?
Profound answer, Scott!
Yes.
Were you above 110th St?
And when I say above I mean North of, not suspended over.
Thanks for the clarification, Gary!
I was not north of 110th Street.
Are you on a moving object like the central park carousel?
Just to be sure this wasn't a mistake, the third clue is the same as the first clue, correct?
No, Gary, I wasn't on a moving object. But you are correct as to the photo: it's the same!
were you at a playground?
repeating the first clue doesn't help too much!
Nope, not a playground, Myra.
And I do consider it a full-fledged clue.
That's only because you know what it is, Davey-boy.
I'm confident this will be figured out. And then we'll see if it was a clue worth posting.
And perhaps somebody finds such twists intriguing, if not utterly enigmatic.
Oh, I forgot to add "Debbie-Webbie." Sorry.
Were you on the upper west side eating a graffiti sandwich, I ask intrigued and enigmatically.
Lost in a maze?
Those are amazing guesses, Scott and Debbie...but no!
Were you east of Fifth Avenue?
East? Yes!!
Is this some sort of ball, or ball-shaped structure?
I'm afraid not, Debbie.
Were you north of 72nd St?
Is a mirror or reflection involved?
I was not north of 72nd Street, and no mirror/reflection was involved, though I like that kind of thinking!
Are you at a construction site?
I'm afraid not, Gary.
OK, I need to establish if you were on the island of Manhattan. Note the distinction of saying island not borough.
Consider it established, Gary!
is the object(s) you're photographing moving?
It is still not in motion.
well, before I asked if you were moving and now I asked if the object was moving. Subtle difference.
You were looking at a piece of the Berlin Wall at 520 Madison Ave. But I still don't get your double clues.
Was one side of the wall facing the East graffiti-free (clues 1 and 3) while the side facing the West graffiti-full (clues 2 and 4)?
Wunderbar, Gary! (I hope you didn't lose too much sleep over this one.)
It's a section (or, perhaps, several sections) of the Berlin Wall in a small open area accessible from 53rd Street between Fifth and Madison. That is, apparently, part of the 520 Madison Avenue complex.
I have other pictures that I was planning to post, but I wound up thinking that it would be more interesting to alternate a shot of the mostly blank East side (which faces West) with a shot of the grafitti-covered West side, at least until it was established that I was presenting opposite sides of a wall. It turned out that no other shots were needed here.
Whew! Glad that's solved. Thank you Gary!
