Enroute - The Crossing - New York City Street Scene
Description:

A woman strides, determined in her effort to cross the street, with bold steps and confidence. Where is she going? It's best to make it quick, as the traffic light is just about to change.

In Tune


There is a wonderful movement

Enhanced by the music above

In a concrete valley

With no outer space

Unless you can fly

To another place

Why do I like it?

Why do I like it?

Put the music back on

And she is dancing

She "is" dancing

Why do I think she is dancing?

Because she is

But I cannot figure it out

Pick fault and see if it will turn on a light

It's an off kilter Cartier-Bresson

And something is not right

Time stands still

But the "Tick Tock"

Gives me a thrill

She moves like a dancer

Or a soldier marching wrong

It's the right arm that should be outstretched

Praise be to the Lord

And the beauty of that song


But


On closer inspection

I found it's untrue

The right leg is forward

So I guess her trousers were blue

And with all being bright

And the play of the light

It made me think she was dancing in tune


Waiting At A Crossing

Girl With Red Dress - Times Square New York

Street Portrait - Man In New York City

Descriptions:

I saw the young woman, waiting for a date perhaps, in the middle of the crowds of Times Square, New York.

New York is filled with endless possibilities for the great street portrait; in this case, a man I glimpsed while I was about to cross the street. Never leave home without your camera!

Young Girl On Bus - New York City
Description:

A young girl on a bus in New York City, a brief respite from a pouring rain, and thoughts perhaps beyond her years. The other passengers seem jaded, or just impatient to get home. Just another day in New York City.









Girl In The Crowd - Times Square - New York City Street
Description:

This is a variation - probably a better photo - of my pic, Pretty Girl in the Crowd - Times Square - New York, which can be found <> HERE <>

Just shows you what taking a second look at your files can find. The text from the first pic also applies here: I came upon this pretty girl in the midst of the crowds of Times Square, New York, NY. Somehow she caught my gaze and wouldn't stop looking, as I randomly perused the masses of people enjoying their Friday night in the city.

Perfect Day

Five Petals - Spring Blossoms
Description:

These beautiful five-petaled blooms grace a tree in springtime, lovely to contemplate deep in a snowy day in winter.

I can't believe how lucky I was to capture this absolutely incredible sunset last night; my window to nature's glory was not to be surpassed.

East Side Snow - From A New York City Fire Escape
Description:

The cool blues of a New York City snowfall dust the tops of a fire escape and marshmallow the parked cars like so many snowball candies in a row. Yellow cabs make their way gingerly down the slush of the gutter, as lone pedestrians make for the warm glow of the corner shops. Just another snow day in New York.


Snowy Day - New York City Street Scene
Description:

A snowy day in Manhattan, a window steamy with fog, people walking by. "Perfect Day" for a photo.

Snow Show





















































Snow Show: A Mini-Slice of the Snowy Apple

Scenes from the snow storm in NYC on Friday.

Finding myself in Manhattan as the storm arrived, I hunkered down with an everything bagel, coffee and tripod, followed advice to stay indoors, and pointed my camera out the window. Here's what the "Snow Show" looked like (at 6 p.m. Friday) from a window in the city.




Geordie's Thoughts.

The snow on the walkway would suggest that the above photograph was taken first and the photograph that includes the taxi was taken after.

New York In The Snow - Hot Soup For A Cold Night
Description:

Wending our way through the thickening snow, shoes not quite soaked, yet, as the snow is still a powdery cover on the street, but soon, it will be close to a foot high. Better get home quick. It's cold!


Snow In The City


Fire Hydrant In Snow - Life In New York
Description:

This charming antique fire hydrant graces the streets of New York through the dog days of summer and the blowing snows of winter in the city that never sleeps. A sentry of safety, this vintage silent sentinel stands ready to serve the people of New York should the need arise, anytime, night or day, rain or snow.
Winter in New York - Gallery

This gallery is dedicated to all those times I sloshed through the snow on my way to and from work, all the while loving every second of it. New York in winter can be a magical place.
