What a city this is!! New York speaks loud and clear and in many language, it’s just one ginormous kaleidoscope of humanity. You just never know what or who you’re going to come across in an afternoon.

Talk about air time, yesterday was the Mayor Mike/Guv Christie show all day long!! Mike Bloomberg was determined that New York City under his watch would be prepared for the impending disaster. By and large, most New Yorkers followed his lead. Murray took the photos of Grand Central Terminal just before it was shut down (nobody’s leavin’ this town) – https://pbenjay.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/high-noon-in-new-york-city-irene-is-on-her-way/ and some other pre-Irene photos. Today he went out and captured some great photos of Irene’s aftermath. Here they are for your pleasure.

So that was Friday in Ocean Grove and now it’s Saturday and I have some interesting photos from Grand Central Terminal. Murray got to GCT just before it was closed down by Mayor Bloomberg. Official close time was to be 12:20pm today. If you are at all familiar with Grand Central Terminal, you know the only time you ever see it empty is on a post card! Take a look at what Irene has done to our City, (and she’s not even here yet).

The Northeast is getting slammed this winter with snow storms, blizzards, snow lightning , you name it and we’ve gotten it. This past Wednesday night we had yet another snow storm. By morning 19 inches had fallen in Central Park. Central Park is Manhattan’s emerald jewel in the summer and alternatively a sparkly diamond and an iridescent opal in the winter.
As my regular readers know, many many of my Fab Foto Friday photos are taken in Central Park. There’s just so much to see at any time of the year. The birds, the flowers, the trees, the ponds, the landmarks, the bridges, the kids, the artists, the playgrounds, the picnicker, the runners, the skaters, the mimes, the jugglers, the acrobats, the break dancers, the gardens, the sculpture, the boats and ever so much more!
This Friday (and yes I am once again a day late) our Fab Fotos are from Central Park in all its beauty enhanced by 19″ of snow! This is what life in the City is when it snows!!!

Sundays in the Park with Murray could be a whole photo series unto itself…but for today I selected a few that make up a Fourth of July celebration in the middle of January. Central Park, as you know, is a photographer’s canvas for all seasons. Well if you read this blog, of course you know because I publish Murray’s photos depicting Central Park and its flora and fauna all through the year. Our most recent snow fall provided a great backdrop and an integral component of this RED WHITE and BLUE series.

FAB FOTO FRIDAY
If you don’t live in New York , maybe you’ve read about how our Mayor Bloomberg is cleaning up the City, we don’t smoke, we don’t eat transfats…he has pedestrian malls in two of Manhattan’s busiest squares; Times Square and Union Square and he would like to eliminate most of the cars. Take away the cars, the MTA keeps increasing their fares and what’s left?
Take a look at the Signs of the Time.
