TheRealTamara – Page 55 – Walk with Me, Too

The appeal is real

It took will power.

I walked down the whole block without snapping a single shot.

Boats on display

What’s doing?

A walk outside my immediate neighborhood

I am on a teriyaki shrimp bowl break. The mitzvah van had bells like an ice cream truck.

There’s a lot of variety in glass buildings at the NYU Langone campus. And elsewhere, I would venture. Glass mixed with brick make for an interesting contrast at this corner.

Rainy days

1. There was a spruce up committed to the facade on this property on E68. Very nice.

2. Plantings meant to convey the feel of Fall really brightened my dreary day.

4. Rain’s not so formidable when you’re armed with your umbrella.

Some of our city’s worst have their names plastered about town. It’s a garden of conservative bigwigs. [I’m sorry, was I being judgmental?]

Seeing this sign anew would have made me change my ambition to put up my name on a building.

Glass houses

Here’s a building that often catches my eye. I can not tell you what the architectural details mean or portend.

Isn’t it splendid!

Architectural details

Which topics would you like to be more informed about?

I confess I don’t. Shame on me.

Another short foray

81st between York and 1st is an odd little hodge-podge.

Rainy day windows and a display of a still summery-green bed nearby.
