The Weekend in Black and White

Anyone who's been coming to this blog for a while
knows that I suffer from terrace envy.
But when there's snow every few days, temps 
are in the teens and twenties, and 
wind chills drop them to single digits and even 
below 0°F . . . you can have your terrace—
now I have a case of fireplace envy.

early morning

I loved this view of the Manhattan Bridge 
(looking past Dumbo from the Brooklyn Bridge),
before the East River fog had lifted.

arriving in Budapest

I've shown the Nyugati Railway Terminal before,
but I think it deserves another shot—this
time of Eiffel's lacy iron framework seen through
the 19th-century wavy-glass windows.

Mystery Woman

Among all the hundreds of people
in the Gare de Lyon, my eyes (and camera)
were drawn to this woman.  Don't know if she's
famous, but she looks like she should be.
(Or maybe, to paraphrase, Michael Jackson 
is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.)
