This was taken driving over the Tappan Zee Bridge between New Jersey and New York last week. The cars and bus look so small compared to the scale of the bridge.

New York City… pedestrians hurrying to get to a Broadway matinee…
…a couple stopping in Times Square to get engaged…
…or nonchalantly walking behind a big celebrity.
I’ve also enjoyed the pedestrian walkway at Walkway Over The Hudson in Poughkeepsie, New York, which is the world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge.

Prompt: Your inspiration this week is windows. Use a window to frame your shot, use a window to give structure to your photo, or make a window itself your subject.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Windows, windows, windows and more windows…
From NYC skyscraper windows, to windows inside a lighthouse, to the porthole window on a ship, to my daughter’s eyes, to the light streaming through a window in St Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC, to the reflection of the sky in the back window of my car… these are my window choices.
Share a layered image of your own. The topic is wide open, as long as you focus on the interplay of depth, density, and texture, you can keep your interpretation as literal or as figurative as you wish.

The prompt for this challenge is to show what waiting looks like. My first thought was the anticipation of little bulbs turning into beautiful flowers.
And then my next thought was one of my favorite pictures of our late dog, Chappy. What might he be waiting for, a biscuit, a walk,or his mommy coming home !

I tend to like abandoned structures and also stone walls, in looking through my photographs I came across not actual stone walls but the stone wall ruins of an abandoned woolen mill in Dingman’s Ferry, PA.
Around 1826 Joseph Brooks, a Welshman who had immigrated to Philadelphia built a woolen mill of stone, 3 1/2 stories high in Dingmans Ferry. He employed about 80 workers.
His sheep however, were devoured by wolves or died from eating poisonous laurel. Supplies, operatives and materials such as expensive raw wool, had to be brought in from Philadelphia and the finished products shipped back to Philadelphia by wagons, a trip which took 10 days. Brooks died in 1832 and the mill was abandoned. Here are my pictures of the ruins of the mill.

Some of my choices for corner.
Thomas Edison’s library in West Orange, New Jersey. I love the idea of a bed in the corner.
High Point monument in the northwestern corner of New Jersey where NJ/PA/NY meet.
This and that.
