Star Spangled Slacks

This gentleman was being patriotic near the World Trade Center site on 9/11.  The truck was being patriotic as well.

Stop, Pop and Roll

I think the bubble gum is a nice touch.

Friendly Competition

Unless they are working as a team, I can't really imagine that they are pleased about the work each other has done to collect the returnable bottles and cans.

Heaven

I was watching a cabaret singer out on a patio at a winery with a large glass of wine.  I looked up and it was just a little bit of heaven.

Brush Up Business

I wonder if they used their own paints to paint this sign so many years ago?

Water Tower

How do they get all the water up into the tank?

Tug of War

She's not really helping out here at all.

Tip of the Bridge

This view would have been the same back in the early 1900s... (if you looked above the cars).

Flipflopping from Work

You might think this guy only wears flipflops as he leaves work during the hot summers.  Not true, I have seen him thonging through the snow also.

The Birds

I pass this light every day, but there were never any birds on it.  This day there was, including the king bird at the top of the post.

Jeter

This will be a marker in time.  We will always know that this was put up to signal the last months of Derek Jeter's career.

I was asked by someone who saw this picture, "Did you pose him like that"?   Really?

Booby Trapped

So, this "sculpture", the hammock for this guy, is actually supposed to be set of eyeballs.   But more than one person has told me that they look like something else.

Storm Cloud

The cloud is a bit spooky.

Brooklyn Based

It is noted that the new One Trade Center building looks like it is wearing a white George Washington wig.  

Wall Street

While the tourists are shooting and looking, they have their own quirks and personalities.

Beyond the Revolving Doors

Kind of futuristic.

Hollywood

Took a trip to the west coast, staying up in the Hollywood Hills.  This was from the balcony of the apartment we were renting.  

The Hollywood Hills

It's so damn sunny out in LA, so you get shadows like those from the fire escape.  

California Living

This car was parked in the lot servicing Target and Best Buy.  

California Ride

I was just taking a picture of the back of the Hollywood Wax Museum.  Then my wife asked if I took the picture of Charlie Chaplan smelling the garbage.  Uh.... yeah, sure I was.... good idea.

Shaded Walk

A few weeks later this alley was closed off.

To the Long Pants Store

A bit of comedy.
