My younger daughter recently visited New York, and we decided to see a show: Sunset Boulevard. I was to meet her at the St. James theater where it was showing. My plan was to take the train to Grand Central Terminal and then walk west until I got to the theater at 246 West 44th Street (between 7th Ave./Broadway and Eighth Avenue. If I saw anything interesting, I’d try to take some photographs. It was a very cold day, made worse by the strong winds and I didn’t expect to get much…but you never know – particularly in New York City. I expected to be early and planned to get some lunch before the performance. If she had any time after the show, we’d figure out what to do later.
A Walk through Peekskill – A Skull
I hesitate to finish this short walk around Peekskill, NY with a skull seen outside Taco Dive Bar, but it was the last picture I took before boarding my train back home. And, after all, it’s not a very scary skull with all of its bright colors.

A Walk through Peekskill – Murals
Peekskill has quite a lot of murals. In this particular location (Central Ave) there were several more. I only photographed these two. I’ve not yet been able to find any information about them (e.g. who created them, what they represent, why they’re there etc.), but while looking for such information I came across a person who described such murals as “putting lipstick on a pig”.
I don’t agree. I like the bright colors; they brighten up the place a lot.

Stained Glass in New York City (Manhattan).
I came across pieces set into the wall of a building at Third Avenue and East 50th Street in New York City (Manhattan). They appear to be stained glass, set into a shiny metal surround. I have no idea why they’re there or who created them.
I can’t say that I like them much.
