People




A collection of odds and ends today. I think it would be rather fun to play in a sea of newly poured concrete. Here outside London Terrace. 


June is really not prime fur coat weather. Here on a side street near Penn Station.


Taken from the High Line near 26th Street. Kobra (and his minions) are painting a psychedelic rendition of the iconic end-of-WW2 photo.


The Morgan Library at lunch time. We sit near two women in Hamburglar costumes. Similar but not exactly alike. Did they plan this? Are they sisters? A mystery. I recommend the current Winston Churchill exhibition. What vivid precise language he used. How appalling (and typically English) his school reports were.


More lunch time. This time at Ground Zero.

  1. Thanks for making me laugh about the Hamburgler twins. The Hamburgler isn't a character we hear much about anymore.

  2. The two ladies in horizontal stripes - too much of a coincidence. They must have planned it.

  3. Wet cement has always been very inviting to me and I think everyone.
    I think the black and white strips ladies, maybe a favorite tee for a hot day ? I think they met up for for lunch and now a giggle id added.

  4. Nice little set of photos of your world. The giant painting of the WW2 photo is amazing and even more interesting to see it under construction.

    We went to see The Avengers and once again saw Manhattan as the center of world destruction. Makes me wonder how MANY disaster movies use The Big Apple as their set. It's become a joke to see the good guy v.s. bad guy trashing the city with the Chrysler Building in the background.

  5. I trust the guy with the concrete knows exactly the setting time for said substance - otherwise he could lose a boot - and hopefully not a foot!

    I too really like the amazing WW2 photo recreation. Great pic!

  12. Hi Elizabeth, this made me smile as i remembered my very first visit to NYC. I thought I would take a short cut , only to be met by a very irate man shouting "Lady, don't walk there! You guessed it- wet cement!
    I love the way he called me a lady though....
