Complicated Patterns and One Simpler One




For some reason (unknown to me) they keep digging up Union Square.
I wish they would stop already.



Snacks at a friend's apartment. The carpet sort of echoes the fence above.



Madison Square Park from the bus. Very bare branches here still.

  1. Cool composition in the first shot. The square theme is fun – it makes you see how different every image is.

    Your friend’s view in the post below is beyond stunning, as are your photos. I can’t imagine getting anything done in that apartment – I’d just watch the view like a widescreen movie.

    I hope you get some peace and quiet with a bright sun later.

  3. I love the first shot,
    but I am totally smitten by the second one, a true masterpiece! The colors, the patterns, the surprising angle. And then that sweet innocence, now I am melting. ;-)

  4. Glorious reds against the pattern of the carpet - that has to be one of my favourites!

  5. what is the deal with all the digging going on in Manhattan? I see the construction workers digging most of the times, and don't see any end-results. I loved the second pic. The Red flowers atop the brown neutral carpet look stunning.

  6. You are very observant! I love all the pinks in the second shot. We are still bare here in England too.

  9. LOL! it seems that every town/city has a place that is constantly under construction - we have a couple pieces of highway that never seem to be finished - year after year!

  10. I like your first shot of the construction. Looks like you are about to get a slight mooning from the guy on the right. ;^)

    Such a sweet baby girl...I am all into baby girls now that I have a brand new Granddaughter :)

  13. Correction - I'm fired! It's a City of New York Parks and Recreation project, scheduled to be finished by Fall 2009. I love the patterns.
