A trip to the tip of Manhatten
Dec 2, 2021 15:22:26 #
With the weather now back into the 50s, and the rain forecast to be over soon after breakfast, I took public transportation down to Battery Park, knowing it would be uncrowded, and with an ultimate goal of going to the Native American museum for the first time.
Over the years I have gotten interesting photographs on the subway. This first shot looks like a black and white except for the few dabs of color.
The sun was beginning to break through the clouds when I got off the train, and cast a yellowish light on the statue honoring the immigrants who died trying to get to the United States, and on the memorial to the members of the Armed Forces who died at sea near the states.
The gentleman juggling the three tennis balls was easily into his 70s; he walked in huge circles and did not miss as long as I watched and photographed.
The museum’s rotunda image and the armed forces memorial memorial parade mage both are 4 shot pans. As one enters the rotunda, a tv greets the visitor and invites selfies. Everyone succumbed. Me too.

Very nice series. All good, but my favorite is #2 which has a surreal quality. Keep up the good work!
