I thought you’d never ask ;-)
It’s NYC, Manhattan, taken in 2010, when there was still no World Trade Center tower: there’s clearly an important piece missing from the skyline…

I pinned this to my “New York City{” board on Pinterest. Photo shows how lovely monochrome photos can be.

Smudges on a wet, red bow.

Not bad! Have you thought about poetry as a career? ;-)

Looks as if Mary Celeste might suddenly appear on the horizon. This shot (minus the bit on the right) sets my imagination afloat – and now I think of it, have you and Johna come across any unexplained ‘apparitions’ on your travels?

We’ve seen quite a few, but the problem with apparitions is that they immediately disappear when you try to take a photograph :-)
On the 2014 Everglades Challenge we did become very familiar with hallucinations…

Reminds me of stonehenge, and I wouldn’t have thought it could.

Stonehenge was my first association too! I almost called it that—but I didn’t want to confuse it with Manhattanhenge…

Oh yes, I love that post. I never heard of that when I lived there. I was never up that early either!

For Stonehenge you have to get up early, but for Manhattanhenge you just have to get up by sunset—much more our style in the big city :-)

Ah, now that is more better. :-)
