Found by my sister Mary who sent this pic from NYC
Photographed and shared by my sister Mary
Sometimes you drive over a bridge named in honor of someone. You might glance at a sign with a name along a stretch of highway.
A plaque.
In memoriam.
A tribute.
A place named to honor, to remember.
It might be a soldier, a notable person, a hero.
I wondered about the name on this street sign- Police Officer James P. Leahy- when I took the picture but didn’t look him up until tonight
I saw this sign when I was visiting my sister
Here’s what I found
“Officer James Leahy was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks while attempting to rescue the victims trapped in the World Trade Center.”
You can read more about Officer James P. Leahy here
There are other links that are touching , his wife speaking of her high school sweetheart, his family.
Here’s a site Honoring USA Heroes with more information.
From Whitney Museum window
We heard the piano music through the open window of my sister’s fifth floor apartment across the street. So when we were at street level, I snapped a few shots.
Sorry, no audio.
How does light affect an image?
Time of day. Time of year. Direction. Intensity. Source. Pollution. Weather conditions.
Thinking about the quality of light.
Taken from E’s mother’s apartment window 4/4/09 in New York City looking North.
My sister sent me this photo of the Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This just in from my sister in NYC. Thanks Mary
