Green on Yellow

Stalk of grass. As I was walking across the parking lot of a nearby supermarket I noticed that the numerous street lights all had a bright yellow concrete base. A small, green stalk of grass was growing next to one of them. Yet another reminder that there are pictures everywhere.

Still more New York City pictures

A few pictures taken while walking from one destination in New York City to Another. Above: Blue bicycles.


Skyscrapers. I liked all the different shapes and lines.


Abstract composition in an iron girder?


Street people. I don’t usually take pictures of street people, but there were so many of them along this one block near St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I found myself wondering why they were there?

Around the Neighborhood – Stained glass at Scarborough Station

On one of my trips into New York City I noticed these stained glass windows on the platform. I’d spotted them before, but I don’t think I ever took a picture of them.

“In 2010, Metro-North began a program called Arts for Transit. As part of the program, an art installation was created for the station. The work, titled Untitled with Sky, comprises six stained glass windows and twelve seats covered in mosaic tiles. Liliana Porter and Ana Tiscornia worked with Willet Hauser Architectural Glass to create the installations. The windows were originally intended for the overpass, where they were installed for a short time. Around 2011, the windows were moved to the southbound platform.” (Wikipedia).

As you’ll see from the above there are six of them. I guess I must have missed two.

LIghtstreaks

Coming downstairs from my bedroom one day I noticed the sun streaming through a window in the front door. It was making these interesting (to me at least) somewhat rainbow-like patterns on the floor.

And now for something completely different – At least for me.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a technique where you deliberately move the camera during exposure. I’ve tried it a couple of times in the past and didn’t much like the results. During one of my recent woodland walks I decided to try it again. I quite like some of these.
