(Jun 25) June ends with first harvest.
Lisa presents
My first vegetable of the season
“When it rains, it pours.”
Through the shielding from wind glass
My travels in NYC have become rather limited

(Oct 29) No Halloween Parade (again). Maybe next year.
Behind the windshield
Art?
Or litter?

September has been something to endure. And that’s being cheerful about it.
When the gate’s open, I step in for a few shots.
I keep meaning to just ask someone if I can come in.
I’d like to get shots of all of it before I move.
Crazy Sign Person went into re-runs.
I remember when summer meant marigolds
Speaking of memory, the night depository is a relic now, right?
Returning from the bank in the early morning, I saw an apple on the sidewalk.
I looked up.
Then I went out to Port Jefferson. I always walk to the LIRR now as well. My legs are cheaper and still more reliable than the subway.
It rained. It was apropos.
Wet. Scattered. Metaphor.
Down the drain and on the street.
Hot Pink. Not the ideal way to keep Victoria’s Secret.

(September 6) I had never been to Astroland in Coney Island, and on the day before it is apparently this this time for reals, closing, I decided to go get photos. In the rain. I thought there was something apropos about the remnants of a large storm blowing through at the end.
The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel have landmark protection and will remain. Not sure how that’s going to work out.
Wonder Wheel
Down at the beach
Back on the boardwalk
I shared the boardwalk with maybe a half dozen other people.
This is probably where Tony_M went to play as a child.
Oddly enough, I ran into the architect of the US economy for the past 30 years. You’d have thought he had more important things to do right around now.
The rocket to somewhere, but not back to here.
The end is near.
As previously noted, the gift shop marks the end of the event.
And so thus ends our tour of of world famous Astroland on the Coney Island boardwalk.
Heading back to the subway, I passed what I think is the Nathan’s mothership
And their Countdown to Gluttony
Exit, Coney Island
Back out into the rain on Smith St.
I suppose the rain is good for something
This cone has known better days. I understand how it feels.
Somehow, really don’t think the Gowanus Canal has any chance of being non-toxic any time in the foreseeable future.

(September 3) The parts of my life that generally go off without a hitch are those whose dates and times are well established long in advance. Primarily these are Python workshops and Dorkbot meetings. This month they were on consecutive days.
Python
One of the presenters is a shape-shifter.
After Dorkbot, I finally got a replacement shot for an image I’d put into masthead image rotation. I liked the original shot, but I’d taken it from the wrong angle, and it had a fuzziness that I grew not to care for.
Cue the Burt Bacharach, hurricane season is in full swing.
Speaking of rain…
