Some time ago I took the train up to Boston to meet up with some Canadian friends who were visiting there. The hotel we were staying in was in the North End. None of us got there until late afternoon so these pictures were taken in the North End and along the Charles River from then until it started to get dark.

Another indication that Hallow-een is coming

I went to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch today and came across these figures next to entrance. Quite impressive: the eyes flashed on and off and the figures moved from side to side. That explains why the figure on the right is a little blurry. It was in motion when I took the picture, while the figure on the left was stationary.

In the preceding post I mentioned that I stayed overnight in a hotel in New York City last week. I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed this lamp, which I had earlier turned to face the wall. I liked the contrast between the light and the dark in the almost abstract composition.

Last week I went into New York City. I thought I might be staying out late (for me) so I got a hotel room. We went for dinner at Japanese restaurant on Lexington Ave and 39th street. This imposing figure was standing right next to the restaurant. I guess Hallowe’en must be coming.
