Ten images that need explanations
1. Early morning picture of horse and rider taken from beachfront hotel window, springtime Virginia Beach
2. The shilling in the UK was a coin that circulated for nearly five centuries. Until 1971 it was worth 12 pence when pounds were worth 240 pence. New pounds were introduced in 1971 revalued to 100 new pence. Shillings remained at 1/20 of pound, but were now worth five new pence, and two-shilling coins (florins) remained 1/10 of a pound at 10 new pence. Although decimalisation-friendly, shillings and florins went out of circulation in 1990, being fully replaced by five pence and ten pence coins circulating since the changeover. Coin shown was never circulated.
3. Sam The Squirrel objected to my taking his picture and reared up like a horse
4. Skilfully made contemporary wall image of Blondie on East Village street in New York
5. Two ghouls on front steps of brownstone house in Manhattan on Halloween
6. Plane landed in middle of day; then photographer altered the picture
7. Humorous subway picture that creates the illusion of closed in space (via composition and added lettering); coincidentally a recent newspaper story mentioned that ridership on New York subways is up but fares collected are down six percent
8. Sign near Cold Spring Harbour railroad station, Long Island, NY showing that a border between the territories of two countries existed there in the middle 1600s.
9. Pinhole-camera picture of Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge in New York
