The Watchtower

Brooklyn Heights, NYC.

I like the eerie red glow coming from the Watchtower building.

The Watchtower is a real estate holding of the Jehovah Witnesses (though the buildings are always rumoured to be on the market and on the verge of becoming condos).

Waiting on a friend...

to drive home after spanish immersion in New Paltz, NY. I was bored so I snapped these. A study in blues.

The sun and my toe nail polish.

Almost got caught...

But ducked into the subway just in time.

Hitchhiking in Germany - 1990

Hitchhiking from Tuebingen to Heidelberg. Great idea!!!

It's a long story better left untold but let's just say the return trip included a truck driver who seemed to speak no known European language except the phrase "Barcelona, zusammen" (Barcelona, together) accompanied by smiling and nodding.

Suffice it to say we got out of that truck at the next Autobahn rest area in Baden-Baden.

Oh, did I mention he had Barbie dolls splayed out spread eagle all along the dashboard? Yeah.

The text above was written by my friend Kirsten (who took the photo as well). She wisely took the train back to Tuebingen.

Brooklyn Museum

It is the last week of the Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. So, I went.

Another Classic

More from a Boat

On a sail around the harbor yesterday.

Though the motor seemed to be on an awful lot of the time so I don't know if that qualifies as a "sail" in reality.

Hi again!

4th of July boat ride.

Happy 4th of July

It's supposed to rain today so this picture is appropriate.

From an entry by Maxwell at apartmenttherapy.com today:

"The 4th of July became a big holiday after the war of 1812 and out on the American frontier, it was the one time of the year when everyone gathered in town from all over the countryside for parades and speeches, and the prettiest girl would be named the Goddess of Liberty, and politicians would get up and denounce the king and men would get drunk and insult each other, call each other Englishmen and get into fights."

Now, that is an insult!
