Wrapping up August was another trip to …

overpass
Central Park

pete and the tree
Pete wanted me to take his picture next to that tree. So here it is.

sk8ergurl
Pete knows this girl from his trips to the park without me. I don’t remember her name.

skating
She’s got good balance

attack of the killer bubbles
This poor kid was swallowed whole by a bubble. Nobody tried to save him, they all just watched him get devoured.

tavern on the renovation
The re-becoming something is well underway

leaving the park
And then it was time to leave

But not without a little street time first. (it’s a video)

Every now and then, I escape back to the city where I belong.

passed out behind the garbage pail
Instead of being the train home to Brooklyn, now it’s the train to the city.
The number of drunks and bums Father Frank’s homeless shelter attracts to the area seems to have steadily risen over time. Now they’re passed out all over the train station day and night.

the finger
I prefer this city greeting to the drunks sprawled out on the platform in Port Jeff

beacon in the darkness
Hello ESB, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again.

or moving vehicles
The city is full of ghosts

not to be confused with 'babes in toyland'
The Endless March of the Yellow Cabs

br0ke sign
It is now safe to walk uphill.

(June 26) Viza and I went to a presentation at the Marriott Marquis, and then afterward to cleanse ourselves of Times Square, we walked over to the High Line. I like the park, but it seems to me the view is more interesting than the park itself. I’m not sure if that’s what they intended or not.

overgrown
You can still (barely) see the tracks

the original air train
In 2010, it’s hard to imagine locomotives several stories overhead

sailing down the hudson
New Jersey. You don’t want to go there. Nobody does.

even the sun can't bear to look directly at jersey

meat packing district
I wonder what it costs to live in those apartments

apparently the stop sign here is optional
While we were there, I counted dozens of cars, mostly cabs, running the stop sign.

and the hotel actually encourages flashers
The ExhibitionistStandard Hotel is built above the High Line and offers parkgoers a free peep show.

Sunday. (May 30) Where else would I be?

tunnel driving
We missed the turnoff for the Queensborough Bridge, and ended up going through the Midtown Tunnel after paying a delightfully outrageous toll.
