Among the plethora of super-fascinating things in New York City, I particularly liked how we all of a sudden found ourselves outside a cemetery. Offices and businesses look down on you, cars and trucks and street vendors and PEOPLE look over at you or up at you or back at you--or they don't look at all...it's teeming with life, so much so that it's dizzying at times...and then, WHAT'S THIS??? It's a plot of ground, devoted to the dead. The very, very, very dead. So cool.
I really like the way this iron fence looks.
See the building in the background and the buildings on the sides?? ...Such history... (Click on the pictures to see more detail...)
Can you see the year on this tombstone?? It's so weathered and worn down, you can't see all of the writing anymore. Neat-o.
Our first close-up look at "Christmas in New York City"...hooray!! It was the reason we went there when we did; to see just that. I loved it. (But I must say here that Karyn was absolutely giddy about it; so enthralled...!) Notice the woman over my left shoulder videotaping me. :) Notice also the wind (my scarf, my hair, the flags in the background)...if NYC isn't the windy city, then I can't IMAGINE how bitingly frigid it is in Chicago!
