Photo of the Day: Sunset

Tonight's sunset was brief and fiery - and something to behold.

Photo of the Day: Knocking on Knickerbocker

as of a visit Monday, February 20, 2017

Vestiges of the 'olde' New York can still glimpsed in the corners and shadows if you only look or know where to look. Hints: ends of platforms, tucked up out of sight, and/or disguised as the years have 'progressed' by. Where once a door may have opened to a glamorous hotel, now commuters jockey for a spot to cram on a subway shuttle and try to ignore the rats frolicking in the trash on the tracks feet below.

Photo of the Day: Bumped Off

The day after the war - er, storm, you start to catalog the injuries to your soldiers.

Someone didn't fend off Old Man Winter, left pieces behind on the field of battle.

Photo of the Day: Initiative on Ice

Shot this morning, February 9, 2017

Me this morning: Yeah, I am not leaving the Attic anytime soon.

Me looking out at the end of the day to see evidence of clear skies, a jogger running down the middle of the road, and all the folks who have to clear their cards out by tomorrow's alternate side street cleaning. Better start shoveling.

Photo of the Day: Calm before the Storm

Sunset tonight. Evidence that the days ARE getting longer. 

There was at least one bit of blue before the next storm and socked in series of gray days.

Hartsdale Train Station, as viewed from the train, February 1, 2017

Sometimes in transit, when you look up from your phone at just the right time, you see public art as it is meant to be discovered. This installation at the MetroNorth Hartsdale Train Station is located between the north and south-bound tracks, as part of a system-wide public art works project.

Photo of the Day: Holy Places

Looking for the light? Looking for sanctuary? Look for the library. Look for the librarians.

Katonah Village Library at dusk, with the planets in alignment with perfect light.

Libraries can be holy places.

Thank you Twitter, from whence I found this ..

Photo of the Day: Light at the End of the ...

February is almost over.

Deadlines are looming.

Maybe the end is in sight?

Or am I just being blinded by all the staring at computer and screens.

Photos of the Day: "Normal" Impressions

 24 hours later: "normal" is back.

I think I like the negative impressions better.

Photo of the Day: Current Mood Masks

Imagine if we could actually wear actual masks to work, 

and not have to pretend with our faces and/or body language?

I would wear this guy A LOT!

Do you think people would leave me alone to do my work 

OR ACTUALLY DO WHAT I ASK THEM TO DO?!

Anyway.

Spotted, in the Education Center at Work last fall, when I was staying over ...

Along, with you know, a random accordion.

BECAUSE WHY NOT?

Gosh. 

Imagine if I could wear an accordion around all the time

and play myself a soundtrack.

PEOPLE WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE ME SERIOUSLY THEN!

Photo of the Day: Flashback to Flannel

I was flipping through my photo archives in search of something else, when I rediscovered this shot.

Bring a snuggly blankie to tuck in you and your honey; 

takes early morning train trips to a whole new level

c. September 2015

To be clear, it was weekend commute, rather than regular rush, but still.

It's been so cold in the mornings, maybe I should bring a blanket

in addition to my thermals, 2 huge scarves, fleece gloves and my ski-rated winter jacket.
