Needless to state, I had hoped to make some pictures as well. However, as it turned out, I fell 46 miles short (in Peekskill, NY) of my destination.
Peekskill was an intended stop along my route - my NYC friend with, whom I stay when in NYC, was visiting a mutual friend in Peekskill. The idea was to stop for a visit to meet our mutual friend's 3 month old twins and then continue on to NYC but, best-made-plans-of-mice-and-men wise, it didn't happen. Long story short, I ended up staying in Peekskill and, early Sunday morning, took a 2 hour walk through a city park/county preserve with my NYC friend and our mutual friend's dog in tow.
The unplanned Peekskill stay over was very enjoyable although I still want to Occupy Wall Street.

my response: believe it or not, there was no exposure blending on any of these pictures.

Very nice images as usual. I assume you are taking advantage of ISO bracketing to capture the wide dynamic range in these images (especially the first)?
Interesting composition, clean colors, and your magic curves... what a combo!
Following you quietly as usual -- please Occupy Wall Street for me. I can't afford the air fare or time from England.
