Here’s an unexpected photo capture. I was in the last car of a No. 7 subway train as it was leaving Main St. station in Flushing. I decided to try a long-exposure shot inside the tunnel when all of a sudden there was no more tunnel and we were in broad daylight. This is the result.

What’s a visit to New York without a little bit of street meat?

A surprising find in Lower Manhattan. Grass growing freely is not what you’d expect here!

Water rising

Lots of rain, plus spring melt and you start to get scenes like this.

Water rising

The lower pathways on both sides of the Bow River @ Centre St. were closed to the public because of this.
Of course the situation is much worse in lower-lying areas across southern Alberta this weekend.
