Yes, it could be the Wicked Witch of the West.

One Foot Up

Think he was doing a kind of stretch.

Got Lucky

Every morning construction workers take their breakfast break from the work they are doing on the World Trade Center site.  There are these massive boulders in place to serve as protection for the site against any kind of terrorist activity.  They leave very small places for the tourists and commuters to get through.  And, then the construction workers sit on the boulders and make it even harder to pass.  But, they don't care.  They are enjoying themselves.  Especially this guy, who looks pretty cheerful at this time in the morning.  I'm guess he had a good night.

A River Cruise

A lunch cruise on a river boat on a beautiful Fall day to see the leaves turn.  On this day, however, there were not many leaves yet ready to turn.  So, we just enjoyed the ride, and the lunch, and a little bit of alcohol.  

I hadn't recently seen the Upper West Side from this perspective.  I was struck as to how consistent the buildings looked up here.  Someone asked me if I made a composite and stitched together the buildings to look the same.  But, they actually look like this.  You can see the Henry Hudson Parkway skirting the Hudson River at the base of the buildings.  

The Upper West Side

A little further south along the river is the Cruise Ship terminal.  As busy as the river traffic is, there are large boats and the little boats sharing the space together.

They're Here!

I count 18 packages for delivery here.

Abby Road Wedding

The group was proceeding through Chinatown following a wedding up a few blocks in Municipal Court.

Art Be Gone

This is wall of a drug store right next to New York City police headquarters.  I guess this beautiful mural was past its expiration date and it was being powerwashed off.

Three Piece Suit

As the weather turns cooler, the vest returns and once again the suit becomes three separate pieces.

Married

Well, if these two are not married, their umbrellas, at least are married.

Tri-blue

Rain kind of makes the mood and the coloring feel blue anyway, or gray.  This is an example.

One if by Land, Two if by Sea

Must spread the word, they're coming, they're coming.... be on the alert.

Lunch Buddies Only

Sometimes there is someone in the office that you have fun with, share work asides, and go out to lunch with.  There may be an unspoken desire of being more than lunch buddies.  But it never goes further.

Customerless Cutups

Here is another in the category of Poser.  My perspective was that on this rainy day, there was no one on line.  So, I took the picture far way, to capture the emptiness of Zuccotti Park.  Well, I guess I was pretty much the only one in the park, and they had their moment.

Backhanded Lead

I would say the dog is in charge here.

Park Row

These buildings overlook City Hall and were once amongst the largest in the world.

This is where all the advertising agencies got their start.

The world is passing him by, but he sees it all.

 If there was a bit more room, I would expect him to start up with the Pas de Deux.

They seem to be up to something?

One World Trade Center

One World Trade Center is still under construction, but it is the largest building in the US.  When you approach it though, if you are too close, and just around a corner, it can't be scene.  It hides behind other closer buildings.  When you make the turn, then it is suddenly there.
