A nice day in NYC

Had an errand to run before breaking for lunch yesterday, and I had my camera, so I thought I'd mosey around and look at things. Beautiful weather, and excellent light.

Seen thru the window of a pub on the second floor: my favorite vintage Guiness poster!

A classic longboard... wood, yet. Good luck getting that in there!

This guy's been holding this clock outside the Tiffany building for quite some time now...

Too bad I had to compress this one so much... as kitschy patriotic "tchotchkies" go, these masks are pretty cool. Some are made up of tiny portraits of 9/11 victims...

Couldn't get any shots thru the glass of the beauties in the Maserati showroom on Park Avenue, but this came out OK. I was going to see if they'd let me inside to snap a few, then the battery died. And then the sppare died. Weird...

Some familiar titles in this antique bookshop: never read the Paddington books as a youngster, but I had copies of Ferdinand and The Little Prince, once upon a time.

Everybody: all you need is...

Next: another Central Park Safari!

Great shots, Sean!! :)

  We have that same LOVE statue in Philly in Love Park.

 Read Catch-22 a couple times.

SUVs in town... I never understood what was the point of having a SUV in town ::).

Very cool pics ;).


Um... for hauling vintage longboards?

;D

I agree, though- the ultimate expression of this way of thinking is the full-sized Hummer, with gold trim, lowered, with 18" rims and those stupid spinner wheel covers.
The point:
"I got it- don't you wish you were me?"

::)

Nope ... I just want the Range Rover Sport.

But for now I'll stick with the Volvo ;)
