For now Swinksy - just for you - some random shots of anything.......
Most may not be what you are looking for but are just 'stuff' I have photographed.
Some with explanation - others will need none

Yellow Ribbons along a church fence



A very typical subway wall - all numbers done in mosaic tiling.



So all these HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of streets are all very bland - then you enter this ONE street ( 25th St near 7th Ave ) and all of a sudden it is like the entire florist population of NYC has made their store here. Just about the entire length of this street is like this - then it just stops 




An Obama Wobbler




A busted Taxi




A shot from Battery Park




Some of NYC's oldest residents - The Trinity Church in lower Manhattan ( near 911 area ) - some graves 1786 and earlier.




Smack in the middle of Central Park they built a 3 or 4 storey castle - of course they did 
I was still in my Warriors 'can you dig it ' mood on that day 
See if you can spot me 



The large church from the other day had dozens of these sculptured books outside



The typical look on my head every time someone walks through a photo shot




ummmmmmmmmmmmmm?




And finally - for anyone that hasnt ever seen a map of it - here is the middle section of the NY Subway system
We have used the Orange, Yellow, Red and Grey lines so far.
Not only do you need to make sure you are on the correct platform for UPTOWN or DOWNTOWN direction , some trains in the SAME colours are LOCAL , and Express, meaning they run the same line but dont stop at all stations , and THAT can also differ at different times of day / night - confused yet ?





Did you know that Americans consume 3 Billion ( BILLION ) cups of coffee every week !
These New Yorkers are TOTALLY addicted to thier mobile phones and coffee - combined
I will NEVER go off at my kids for thier phone time EVER again
