I took several shots of this salute to CBs suit; one of which I used as a recent Momentile.

I ran into this bench after a walk in Riverside Park.  As soon as I saw it I wanted to be a sculpture when I grow up.

I love taking photos of random balloons.  You find them everywhere in NYC.

I often imagine that the trees and branches I meet in the city’s park, where once other living beings.  This one is definitely a dragon or serpant that a witch cast a spell upon.

The back of the Arch at Washington Square Park is too often ignored by artists and photographers.

Madison Square to Union Square photostroll

This Sunday I took a photostroll between two of my favorite parks: Madison Square & Union Square.

I took the subway down to West 23rd Street, and fortified myself with lunch at Chock full o’ Nuts.  I hadn’t been to one in years.  The classic date nut bread with cream cheese still as yummy.

After lunch I passed a church where a special ceremony had been held for French War Veterans.

Then it was on to Madison Square Park where there’s always a cool public art project.

This amazing statue of Andy Warhol was waiting for me near Union Square.

As usual there was lots of artwork on display around the park.

A bagpiper reminded me of me Irish roots.

Just looking at this mandala made me feel peaceful within.
