I saw this scene as the light was fading this afternoon in New York City’s Central Park (it was autumnal and chilly, by the way)…
What upcoming Photo Challenge should I reserve this photo for, do you think?

The famous Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village was canceled, or at least postponed, because of Hurricane Sandy. But on the Upper East Side, the Carnegie Hill Neighbors’ second annual “Halloween Spooktacular” block party, held among the elaborate Halloween decorations on East 92nd Street, was even bigger than the first!
A few highlights:

Elsewhere, it might have been quite enough that this big scary thing was going to join the party.
But on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, people take their Halloween very seriously.
No mere hurricane was going to restrain their Halloween decorations!
Here are a few highlights:

I think these portraits qualify, too, as an appropriate response to Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week, Spooky…

Ailsa’s Travel-Themed photo challenge this eek is Spooky.
This is still an old photo, from Halloween 2011. But I will head out any day now to take fresh photos of this year’s Halloween decorations that are now cropping up in our neighborhood. It should be a spooky Halloween this year…
… unless of course Hurricane Sandy spooks us out first. Current forecasts have it arriving in New York City precisely on Halloween!

This week’s Photo Challenge is Foreign.
Thinking about this challenge, I realized that I have an entire trove of old B&W negatives and photos, taken eons ago on my travels—foreign in both time and space.
But, looking at them, I see that the essence of some places never changes—
Where is this?
