New York at Night 18

You know how the credits roll for about 10 minutes
at the end of a movie?  Well, all of those people use 
lots of equipment, even when they're shooting
on location.  Was walking in the Village one night recently
and there were film trucks lined up for blocks.
At the end of the line was this one, the wardrobe truck.

New York at Night 17

I live very near this arch that reminds me so
much of Paris (not a coincidence). It's the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch, built about 30
years after the Civil War as a tribute
to "the defenders of the Union."

Shadow Shot Sunday

It was a mild autumn day in Central Park, and
this young family was making the most of it. Though 
I did not take this picture recently, we're currently 
enjoying a pretty nice weekend (much like this)—yay!

The Weekend in Black and White

After all the "weather" we've had around
here lately, the ground is littered with all sorts
of flotsam and jetsam.  These fan-shaped leaves
and stinky (if you step on them) berries are from
a ginkgo, the tree that "grows in Brooklyn."

Skywatch Friday

Took this shot from my window Wednesday
night. We're still trying to clean up from
Hurricane Sandy and there are lots of people still
without heat and power.  Yo, Mother Nature!—did
we really need a snowy Nor'easter on top of all that?

Thursday Challenge—"orange"

'Tis the season in my fave garden.
Took this shot the week before Sandy
descended and haven't been there since
(mainly because it was closed for cleanup).

ABC Wednesday—Q is for "Quito"

This is the beautiful city of Quito, Ecuador—well,
part of it—seen from a rooftop in the neighborhood
called Old Town.  How nice it would be to live on
a pastel hillside like this.  But the altitude
can take some getting used to!
