From Fulton Ferry pier.

Christopher Street at the other Holloween Parade, it is early in the evening gets better.

From the roof of apartment building; N or Q train over the Manhattan Bridge going to Brooklyn.

Evening walk to the river.

Down to the river on a bright sunny autumn day.

Taken from the third floor of Pier 17, South Street Seaport.

Took the free ferry to Ikea on Sunday. Walked around the new Erie Basin Park, old Todd Shipyards in Red Hook. I walked across the street and took this panorama of this "industrial" basin.

Down to the Rockaways to take some pictures of the "surfers". I am not sure how big the surf gets normally but there wasn't much of a surf and there weren't many surfers there.

From St. George to Whitehall on the Staten Island Ferry. Two Coast Guard "gunboats" raced to nowhere with lights flashing and if they had sirens they would have been wailing too.

On a bridge over the Charles River.

Out on the fishing pier this guy was taking a midafternoon nap.

Coney Island again this afternoon. New Nikon Coolpix P5100 camera, dropped one Samsung and kicked the other, so out of convenient video cameras. I am sure this will fill up my harddrives nicely.

Took six(6) videos of different Cyclone runs. I just wanted the first drop. Spliced them together in QuickTime Pro.

Again with the fireworks.

Last night at Coney Island (06/27/2008) fireworks finale.

First night of fireworks at Coney Island.

Coney Island three times last week, twice at night and once on Sunday. Some of the many, many images I took; most of them were on Sunday from the fishing pier.

I was standing on the pier talking to a young fisherman and as I was taking pictures about five or six people came up to me to ask me to take their pictures with the rides in the background. I gladly complied and then took their pictures with the rides and then had to explain to them about the Parachute Jump as I moved them to where I could take their picture with it as the bacground.

Last year in Vienna I was out walking and crossed a bridge over a small train yard.

Pre Xmas gathering at my sister-in-law's

Instead of taking the LIRR from Penn I decided to take it from Jamaica. I took the "J" Train (Jamaica Avenue el) from Essex and was fortunate to have a semi-clean front window.

I hadn't been on the Jamaica Avenue el in the daytime since high school. When I was going to school in Brooklyn, Bishop Loughlin, I sometimes took the Myrtle Avenue el to Myrtle Avenue changed to the Jamaica Avenue el to 168th Street and then the buses home. This was instead of the more direct route: "GG" Clinton Washington to Queens Plaza and then the "E" to 169th Street and then a walk to the 165th Street bus terminal.

Because of the length of the trip and the limitations of Youtube and anyone who views the video, I broke it into six segments:

• Essex to Marcy over the bridge
  
• Marcy to Myrtle
  
• Myrtle to Broadway Junction
  
• Broadway Junction to Cypress Hills
  
• Cypress Hills to Woodhaven
  
• Woodhaven to Parsons Archer

Couldn't even afford a flashing red light!

Budget cuts are happening all over the place. There is no organization safe from them:
