Imagine, Standing with Van Gogh, St. Patrick’s Scaffolded, Mercury, Ribbons for Peace, Patience

We walked through Strawberry Fields and saw the Imagine mosaic.  A man sat on a bench playing the guitar.  We wondered why he wasn’t strumming a Beatles tune.  We walked over the to the Frick Collection and saw the Piero della Francesca in America , no photography allowed.

Prayers for Peace. I read the sign and took the photo.  After I crossed the street I realized just how many ribbons there were on the fence surrounding the church.

  1. Have thoroughly enjoyed my visit to New York New York through your eyes. Wonderful photos of a wonderful city

  2. I, too, have very much enjoyed all the New York pictures. I was blown away by the Imagine circle – I’ve never seen it or even knew about it! Also, the long shadow photo was amazing – thanks so much for sharing! Happy Easter

  3. The lighting for your NYC Walk-about could not have been better and you used it to full advantage, Ruth. Some beautiful shots here and I bet you could do quite a slideshow of your shadow photos. 🙂

Thanks for your visit. It's always good to hear you stopped by.
