In honor of Memorial Day, which was meant to be a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service, and has become more about the start of the summer season, barbeques, and sales, here is a photo of the Fleet Week parade on the Hudson River. 

“…nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more”.

I went back to the same spot where I took my favorite Central Park in the Snow photograph (see Iconic New York, Black and White 23/32) to take this shot.  What a difference a few months make!

Even a foggy day can be beautiful at the beach.

I was on my way to do a spring shoot of the Central Park Bridge (which is my favorite winter shot, see Iconic New York, black and white, Central Park in the Snow, image 22/30) when I passed the fountain in front of the Plaza where I came upon this most unusual sight.

Spring at the shore – surfboards at the ready.

Expect the unexpected in New York City.

City sunset…

Just came back from a wonderful week in Israel. Here’s a photo from the “souk” or marketplace in the Old City in Jerusalem.

A beautiful Sunday on the Shrewsbury River, a perfect day for bicycling over the bridge.

Did any one see the moon on Saturday night?  It was full, larger than it’s been in 11 years, and orange when it first came up.  Unfortunately I was riding in a car on my way home from a lovely dinner out and by the time I got my camera and tripod and ran down to the beach, the color was gone. But it was beautiful nonetheless.
