Mellow Yellow Monday

One of my favorite pieces of graffiti art, 
in a place I've featured before.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Found these ancient weapons in Venice's Correr Museum
(where you're not allowed to take photos—ha!).  Hard 

to tell here, but they're probably 10 or 12
feet long—deadly but still, somehow, beautiful.

photo hunt — "silhouette"

Here is Benvenuto Cellini's 16th-century
statue of Perseus With the Head of Medusa,
which stands in the Loggia dei Lanzi, in
Florence's Piazza della Signoria. Amazing

how Cellini managed to depict gushing
blood—in bronze!

Skywatch Friday

It's been months since I've been able to walk across the 
Brooklyn Bridge.  Finally, higher temps make it possible some 
days—though gloves, scarf, and ugly hat are sometimes required.
(Worth it even if I only catch the tail end of a beautiful sunset.)

Thursday Challenge — "trees"

These trees are also in Prospect Park (see yesterday's post)
—the local dog owners and their pups had a blast here the 
morning after our last (and I hope it was) big snowstorm. 
(Click to enlarge to get the full effect.)  
[You can see more trees here at the Thursday Photo Challenge.]

abc wednesday — E is for "evergreen"

This was the scene in Prospect Park very early
the morning after our last big snowstorm.
Aren't these old evergreens beautiful?

New York at Night (10)

Eighth Avenue—at 2 a.m.—in the city that never sleeps.
[I'm linking this back to That's My World Tuesday—
