A Day-Late Arch, A Year's End

Arch%202010-12-30%201

The Thursday Arch Series got shifted to Friday. New York City is an intense experience and it can throw off a long-ago immigrant to the Midwest like me. So, since the office closed early yesterday, I went out on the street in late afternoon and shot this.

Now 2010 is about over. My family and I have come through fine but I'm not all sanguine about the future. There are just so many of us, what, almost 7 billion? May we take 7 billion great pictures while there is air to breathe and water to drink.

Tomorrow, New Year's Day, is supposed to be our 2010 picture of the year post. I got a couple of ideas.

Sorry for the lack of comments yesterday. Our Internet and phone service at home was down for much of the evening. Curse you, AT&T.

    Not sure what to do for Theme Day. Not at all keen on concepts like picture of the year. Might twist it into something like 'Best picture taken on the last day of the year'.

    I went into your Flicky this morning looking for the coloured flowers. Will try again in a little while.

    I wish you and yours health & happiness during 2011, Bob, and yes, clean air and plenty of clean water as well.

    Another wonderful arch photo, Bob. Loved yesterday's skater too.

    Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and peaceful new year and lots of wonderful photographs.
