Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Central Park, New York

One of my favorite places in all of New York is the Bethesda Terrace overlooking the Bethesda Fountain and its Angel of the waters statue unveiled in 1873, a good century before I was born. A must visit in my book for anyone visiting this part of the world leave alone a joy for the photo enthusiast.

Kingman Crossing
April 17, 2016

My wife flew to Beijing (the one in China) last weekend. Her flight left at 5 am on Sunday morning so I dropped her at the airport at 3 am and then, since I was already awake and in the car, I drove to Kingman (the one in Arizona) and then to points even further east on Route 66.

“…You’ll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona; don’t forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino

Won’t you, get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route 66.”

I’ll admit that this is an old fav. I took it in 2006 at a Viking market. These two were entertaining the kids.I just love the action in this shot. Just goes to show don’t mess with a Troll :0)

I shot it using a Canon S3 IS.

Looking around near where I live I often stumble across places where there is evidence of different eras. This drain, or culvert, was clearly constructed well before the road that passes over it was paved. No contractor today would use such materials; much too costly.

This image was taken in Times Square, New York.  There was some sort of bicycle brigade going on and this group leader kindly stopped these cyclists to let this man cross the street with his young daughter.
