Going Up

This country mouse was off to the big city last weekend. Here I am looking up at the base of the Bloomberg Building in NYC. We went to Le Cirque restaurant nearby and had a wonderful dinner with Elenka's sister Judy, brother-in-law Anthony, their daughter Daniella and her boyfriend, Chris. Later, we wandered the streets of Manhattan, caught some 'sights' in Times Square, and as the city was beginning to unfold for the night, we grabbed a bus back to Jersey. For this country mouse, I survived my very non- frightening visit to the big city. Elenka wasn't so lucky though. Her cellphone was lost somewhere among those towering granite edifices.

  2. Birdman, This is a terrific photo; one of your best, I think. Not so good for Elenka to have lost her phone, but don't lose faith. DH lost his in a gas station in Santa Fe once, and I got a call on my cellphone from the guy who found it. Not only notified us, but met us halfway to deliver the goods. Got a handsome reward, too. Hope your loss turns out as well. Keep us posted!!

  9. Terrific composition, Birdman, with the horizontals above, the fading verticals listing toward the top and the swirl don below. All in glass. Nice capture. (Sorry about Elenka's phone . . . these days our phones contain so much information about our lives, that it is a nasty mix of inconvenience and fear when one is lost.)
