Escape from New York or Shadow Shot Sunday


Looking back on New York from the Pallisades Parkway in New Jersey.

The west side of New York from the West Side Highway. The Empire State Building is oddly recognizable.
Shadow Shot Sunday.

9am Sunday morning: a diner in New Jersey

More of the same....


7pm Saturday evening: a pizza parlor in New Jersey.

More of the same.

10:30 am Sunday morning. Safe back in Manhattan. West 42nd St. near 11th Avenue.

    Why would you want to escape from that beautiful New York that you show us on your blog?

    That first photograph is terribly romantic. A bare-branched tree can be so beautiful.

    Just wanted to let you know, in a public fashion, how much little daughter is loving your book - Jane in Winter. I haven't had a "look in" yet, as she won't let go of it, but she did give me a detailed description of the "very interesting" (her words) plot.

    Great shots, indeed...

    Have a nice Sunday!

    Hmmmmm, love all those photos - you have such an exceptional 'eye' for the detail of everyday. I particularly like the delicious symmetry of shadows in the diner.

    I really like the blind shadows in the diner! Another world you live in--
    I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your book! I ordered it for my 9 y/o for a Christmas gift.

    Dear Weaver: We were actually going to dog-sit for our son who was holding his wife's birthday in our apartment.....In truth, I rather envy your country life - but , when walking the dog at 8am today, remembered how very cold life is in winter in the country!
    Bee: Of course I'm thrilled! Tell her to go to the LULU website and post a review - that is, if she still likes it at the end. She can go to Sarah's website to see how to do one. The teacher in resolutely won't die!

    Oh that was a fun trip Elizabeth. The coffee in the diner wasn't the best but the pizza joint was yummy. Ok, I'm just being silly. Just wishing I was there for real! xo :D

    I am so pleased that your book Jane in Winter is getting rave reviews from everyone, Elizabeth.

    I like the night time shot of NYC.

    Great pics I love the top one with the lights in the background. In summer we go sometimes up the hill at night just to look at the lights of the city

    Your first photo blends so nicely with the cover of your book.

    Your first diner shadow shot photo is beautiful. Very soft and dreamy like.

    Have a great week!

    Sleigh bells ring, are you listing?
    In the lane, snow is glistning...

    Beautiful wintry show, Elizabeth.

    I continue to be under all sorts of seasonal time pressures that I so wish I could toss into the air, and never have the fear that they would fall back into my arms.

    These were great. I love NJ and I miss living there. It's close to the city but still it's own place with lots to do.
