Trees in Brooklyn recently, lit by the reflections off the East River at sunset a block down

Didn’t experience that but I don’t get the reason for the new transparent visuals. Is there any use case for it? It seems gimmicky. I shut that down quick!

This is why I’m more of a city hiker - I‘m used to rats in New York😆. Great capture - brave too!

I watched this film at the Ardmore theatre (i assume your Philly) at 16. Not sure I’d be as freaked out today, esp seeing it on a TV screen.

I saw that in 1975. Most chilling film ever. The lady getting her tongue yanked out kept me awake for nights😆

Ice cream truck in Wash. DC for hispanic festival, which was sparsely attended (given the other “ICE” sniffing around).

I bought an illustrated book about the city’s architecture. Priced reasonable! Helpful staff too.

I’m a retired accountant. 40 yrs. When I travel I try to take pix of the Central Bank of every country😊. Nice pix of Budapest!

Brooklyn Tower, a fairly new residential complex in Downtown, 1070 ft/325m tall. Depending on the angle viewed it resembles an unfinished bundle of copper tubing.

Silly Walks has been my favorite government ministry for 50 yrs😆. Nice bird photo. Looks like somewhere in the Carribean.

Great photo! I used to live just 2 blocks away during the 80s, before it was reopened as a tourist attraction. I try to visit when back in town - I have a relative who graduated 😆 there in ‘64. Spectacular place!

Beautiful shadowy tree outline against the sky!
