Sky Lines

It's been a rough patch for getting any photography in. Posting a few random pics from recent weeks.

Early Snow

Total chaos in NYC on Thursday. Snow didn't start till early afternoon and city did nothing to diminish possibility of traffic problems by closing government offices early or shutting down schools. Just a regular rush hour traffic fiasco on top of heavy snow and poor preparation by road crews. Trees still holding on to fall foliage toppled under the weight. Otherwise it was real pretty :-/

Snowy Barriers

Same snow day. Thursday.

Tarrytown Lighthouse

And foot bridge.

Fog In Lower Manhattan

Shot from Sinatra Park, Hoboken NJ. Not a Sinatra fan, but he's a big deal there :-).

Coriander

Juniper Berries

NYC Skyline & Street Lamp

View from a park in Hoboken, NJ.

Fishin'

Something different. A bit of processing to deal with the bad light situation.

Mood

Gloom and doom but defiant.

Calladium

Another backlight image from the backyard.

WTC (Again)

This one seen from the Brookfield Place complex of shopping and financial institutions - And a marina behind me.

Ant People

Inside the cavernous Oculus.

Allium

This week's theme is "backlight." One of the few small breaks in the clouds today, close to sundown.

Intrepid Sky

Im all about the sky lately...

Under Construction

Assignment: Checkered pattern.

Walkway is along Pier 26. The city has put a lot of money and effort into revitalizing the waterfronts around the New York. Old abandoned piers are repurposed for recreational activities, parks, restaurants, performance spaces. Across the street anoter new high rise under construction.

Empire State Building

As seen from Hoboken, NJ. Clouds are lingering this week, along with rain-forest humidity and heat.

Jersey City

A straight-forward cityscape with clouds. Across the Hudson from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan.

WTC

Last of the triangles series. WTC has 8 triangular faces.

Barriers

Protecting a water treatment facility on the Hudson River. Triangles.

Pool at WTC Memorial

Another triangles entry.

Manhole Corner

Assignment: Triangles.

The State of Things

Never attended rallies or marches or protests until Trump usurped the presidency and proceeded to shred every last vestige of decency at home and abroad. Staying busy now. Times Square vigil last night.

Coffee Drip Apparatuses

Coffee shop and roasters in Long Island City section of Queens. Coffeed flagship store, I believe these are used for tasting events.

Jockey

Traveling this weekend, Saratoga Springs, NY - Horse racing country.

Tree and Sky

Taken a couple of weeks ago. Got nothing today.

Masts

Posted this elsewhere in B&W but the sky just washes out to a dull gray. These hot hazy humid days aren't working for me.

Brush

A clue as to what I'm doing all day instead of shooting.

Bus Terminal Vents

Local Flavor

The Pandering Pig is a restaurant in my little neighborhood. Haven't eaten there yet, but it's on my list.Cafe Buuni, blurred in the background, serves great Ethiopian coffee. The owners are Ethiopian immigrants. Yes immigration!

Sentinels

Continuing my dark and gloomy b&w work.

Tappan Zee Bridge

Officially renamed Mario Cuomo Bridge, but I refuse to acknowledge the change. Mario's son, Andrew, is Governor now, which makes it kinda tacky that he pushed through the naming of the bridge after his father. It would be fine if there were a new bridge being constructed that didn't already have a name.

Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridges

Walkway over the Hudson

An abnormally beautiful day. Very warm for February,
