Urban Landscaping, Lower East Side
A June late afternoon was transitioning into evening as I walked across
the Manhattan Bridge from Lower Manhattan’s Chinatown to Brooklyn.
Sometimes, as the expression goes, “size matters” – especially when…small!
The high security fences along the bridge’s walkways are not what one would call
photography-friendly, in terms of being able to poke the typical camera lens through
for a clear shot at the enticing cityscapes beyond the chain mesh.
That’s where the cute little zoom lens on my unassuming little Digital ELPH came in quite handy.
I was glad to have it along while the “big” guys in my pack awaited their turn to aim at more accessible motifs. (*)
I loved the way a bit of nature's greenery managed to assert itself
amidst the urban textures and graffiti of Lower East Side Manhattan.

: )) ask not what your urban landscape can do for you, ask what you can do for your urban landscape! ; ) the graffiti seems so thoughtfully, tastefully, color-consciously ; ) applied, the red and blues of the spray paint going perfectly with the red and blue of the brick and balcony in the back… the shot's a great show jumping course for the eyes because of its niches and its play with depth, nearness and distance! and yes, i too like the bravado of the green city grass! in fact, it makes me feel just a bit like francis scott key aboard the HMS tonnant, peering over the ramparts at fort mchenry by the dawns early light and hoping to see that their flag was still there… ; )) greetings, sabine.
