STL DPB ON THE ROAD - WHAT IF YOU SAW THIS COMING UP 6TH AVENUE?


Run or vote?


STL DPB ON THE ROAD - THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS


New York, a city of 8.4 million people, contains many immigrants. (And, of course had many emigrants, comme moi,)  Some of the marchers in the Halloween parade dressed in themes referring to places far away. Top: the man looks like a young Yadier Molina, the Cardinals great catcher, minus the tattoos. Bottom: some but not all of my readers will get the reference in the second photo. Actually, although the image felt familiar, I needed help from a younger family member. If you need a hint, click here.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THESE PICTURES?


I took hundreds of pictures Thursday night at New York's Halloween parade. It was a technical challenge. The only lighting was street lamps and, of course, the subjects were moving. Lots of shots were out of focus but many were real keepers. There are many, many more. Just keep posting them, I guess.

CITY DAILY PHOTO NOVEMBER THEME DAY - BROWN(ISH)



Souvenir of my visit to New York. This is The Vessel, the multi store Escher-ish sculpture at the new Hudson Yards development in Manhattan. Thank heavens there is an elevator (vertical track in the center) or I would have never made it to the top. It is of limited use, though - just six people every 15 minutes. Olivier scampered all the way up.

Is bronze close enough for the theme?      

Israel's brown desert

.

Brown goats, brownish sheep, a brown shepherdess, and the brown Negev desert. 

Yep, BROWN is today's November 1 theme for City Daily Photo group.
