A Walk in New York

The phone is indeed a sort of locked treasure box of gems left in a dark room to never be touched. Today I would like to present to you some of its secrets: photos I took in New York in January 2022. For some reason, at this time, I was really into taking these long vertical photos. I'm not sure why. They sure are long.

A photo of the back of a van, with a beautiful painting of happy anthropomorphic fruit on the back.

My favourite of these is this picture of some beautiful fruit art on the back of a van. Look at this cute fruit gang. I really like them.

I find the tall, urban sprawl of the city quite comforting, but also really well complemented by its pockets of art, whether municipal, or displayed neatly in an art gallery space, or indeed, as is often the case, some kind of wall or vehicle art. I love this chunk of the Berlin Wall near Battery Park:

Cute little guy.

I also found this beautiful drawing of a pony:

Very inspiring.

Around this time, I took a lot of waterfront walks, and I loved the view of the skyline and the river and the bridge so much. They knew this, and they put a heart on the pier just for me.

There are so many good shapes and signs and things in Manhattan.

A small sign reads: "stop polluting your mind".

And, naturally, they have the greatest pest of all time. The raccoon. Give the raccoons what they want, I say. Let them have at it. They deserve it.
