New York City place in the popular imagination is cemented with its iconic structures and the Brooklyn Bridge is one that evokes the late 19th century, before the age of sky scrapers. This image was created on a cold November morning. The walkway was mostly empty as most of the tourists were waiting for later in the day when it would be less frigid.
The view from the terrace is quite impressive. The height is just right to appreciate the architectural detail of the surrounding historic buildings. The clock tower is part of the Wrigley Building which was built in the early 1920s. And while the view falls in the “don’t miss” category, I found their cocktails over priced and unimpressive.
Since my activity is currently limited while I recover from jaw surgery, I’m going through my archives and finding images that I haven’t posted before. This shot of Sacre Coure is from 2003.
Seattle puts on a great show over Lake Union to celebrate July 4th. More July 4th fireworks photos.
I like this images because it captures the celebratory mood of the crowd.
By chance , I happened to be in Victoria for Canada Day. Canada Day felt like a giant college football game with many of the revelers draping themselves in the Canadian flag, painting their faces or at least wearing red and white. The mood of the crowd was joyful and everyone was clearly very proud to be Canadian.
The Neon Boneyard is a must visit for me on my next trip Las Vegas. I learned about it too late on my last trip to get one the tours so I had to content myself with looking and shooting over the fence. The boneyard is a wonder-land of old lighted signs, neon or light bulbs.
