More fall colors, now with water tanks and a bridge!

Red-tailed Hawk in New NYC

I went up on the roof to shoot the solar eclipse but it was too cloudy. I hung around shooting clouds for awhile and then this guy landed up there.

Fun in a Hansom Cab

That last woman looks like Snow White in her carriage on the way to meet Prince Charming.

 

 

Central Park in Fall

I went to Central Park last weekend to look at leaves and get some sunshine. I felt like this kid (who was a total camera hog when her mother tried to get a shot of her brother). I've got a slideshow up and I'll add more later this week so please check back. As always, thanks for looking.

Sunset Last Night

NYPD Action on the Hudson

After the fireworks tonight, there were a lot of sirens and this NYPD Riverside Park and there was a police boat there too. I'm not sure what they were looking for. I haven't seen anything on the news.

July 4th Fireworks

I watched the fireworks from my roof. They were lower this year so it was hard to see as much as in previous years.

The wind blew the smoke upriver and after awhile it was pretty hard to see. It started burning my eyes so I went in.
