These are fantastic, wrogers! Where were they taken? Very well done!
Thank you. They were all taken in Manhattan
The images are of life-sized manikins and a few statues. The last item is a World War 1 veteran with a head bandage; this metal statue suggests a dangerous moment that I tried to enhance with a posterized companion photo.

Neat. Record of what time you were there. Is the unkown? MET LIFE BUILDING ON PARK AVENUE UPPER EAST SIDE ...
An image web search showed you are right. It is the Met Life Building that I had forgotten
The most unusual clock shown here is Hampton Court astronomical clock built around 1540. It tells among other things the hour, month, day of month, position of sun, number of days elapsed since beginning of year, and phases of the moon. Another unusual clock set in grass is (or was) in Versailles near the train station, although I don' know if was designed to tell time. A third clock in Hamilton Bermuda tells wind direction rather than time. The remaining clocks are in: 1) Hoboken, NJ Lackawanna tower, 2) Bermuda docks tower, 3) Halifax, Nova Scotia hill tower, 4) city hall in Savannah, 5) Chelsea Market in NY, 6) my kitchen, and 7) one no longer remembered location.

Really neat window shots, wrogers!
Thanks for the nice comment
With pictures taken through store windows some of the compositional work has already been done. To avoid refections hold the camera flush with the window or use a lens skirt
Pictures shown here:
1. Graceful front-window neon dancer promoting shoe store
2. Vertical panorama picture using three photos (camera slid up a foot or so on window for each successive picture; the photos were stitched together with Photoshop)
3. Old US Army phone
4. Life-sized cardboard cutouts of "space invaders"
5. Skeleton promoting a store

Seven pictures taken last week in London, two of which have an American theme. Benjamin Franklin House on Craven Street is only house still standing in which he lived (bottom two floors showing). Fatboys 1940s American style diner may be the main attraction on Orchard Place down by the Trinity Buoy Wharf. The Sherlock Holmes statue is near Baker Street Underground Station and the Sherlock Holmes Pub is near the Thames River. The taxi with metal tree growing through roof, near the diner, is a sculpture by Andrew Baldwin. The pottery is at the British Museum.
