There's something about this tree (a Thornless

honeylocust) that I admire. No idea what it is, though I look at it through the seasons whenever I happen down 29th Street between 34th Ave/Broadway in Astoria

Yesterday, February 10, had been Flickr's 22nd Birthday

From Flickr's inception in February 2004, up until late 2011, I had been a hardcore Flickr user under the handle Newell the Jewell. My late partner, Angel, who passed away suddenly 20 years ago this coming June, would call me that, as a nickname. And within Flickr, I added an extra L to Jewel. For Christmas 2003, Angel had gifted me a digital camera. It was a tiny 2.0 MP Kodak easyshare camera, which had a charging/image transfer station. And after unwrapping the box I just stared at it as if I'd never seen a camera before. Now, Angel knew that I had once upon a time been very much into photography, having even studied film photography for many years at ICP (The International Center of Photography). Though it had been a costly hobby, and I just couldn't keep up with that aspect of it. This little digital camera was something completely different. It was essentially Star Trek meets 2003 Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I really didn't know what to make of it all. I was excited, though also frightened, as I was essentially a stranger in a strange land. And digital photography was in its infancy back then.

The Best Time for New Beginning's is Now...

Honeywell Street bridge over the Sunnyside Train Yard

-

Honeywell Street/Avenue consists entirely of a bridge (Honeywell Street bridge) which spans across the Sunnyside Train Yard, in Long Island City, Queens, New York City. The bridge begins at Northern Boulevard and ends at Stillwell Avenue. 1 Honeywell aka The Center Building, is the only property with an address on this street.

Honeywell Street was built in 1910 as a bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad/LIRR (Amtrak) Sunnyside Yard. In 1978, it was closed for structural issues for almost 25 years. Delays in repairs and rebuilding of the bridge along with legal issues were held up until 2002, when work on the 90-year-old span resumed. Honeywell Street reopened on January 17, 2003 after a quarter century.

This buildings name is Āsana, which is a Yoga body posture. These new buildings in my neighborhood must all get a tax write-off if they think up the dumbest name for their property

The bottom two floors–totaling 12,000 square feet– are set to be an Asian supermarket. My neighborhood is in desperate need of new supermarkets, so we'll take whatever we can get

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.

The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Certe volte passiamo mesi o addirittura anni alla ricerca di un particolare pezzo... In venti giorni ho avuto la fortuna di trovarne due... certo, il GD-57 lo avrei preferito in versione "normal" ma non si può avere troppo... :)

Sometimes we spend months or even years to find a particular piece to enrich our collection ... In twenty days I was lucky to find two ... Certainly, I would have preferred the GD 57 "normal" but you can not have too ... :)

Includes Iphone-ish icons for the dock. Decided to clean up the homescreen and just have the date and music widgets there.

The dock is fixed at 5 icons across.

32nd Street always has a lot of flowering trees, shrubs, and it's always something to look forward to along my walk home each afternoon from my place of employment.

Jon Yung of My Architect had been the architect for this building. He's also the architect for 42-19 24th St @ Queens Plaza South, as well as a bunch of others I've photographed. Whenever you embark on an ongoing photo project, you inevitably connect a lot of dots along the way.

Completed in 1917, the Queens Blvd viaduct runs for an eighth of a mile along the center of Queens Boulevard between 32nd Pl. and 47th Street. Its most defining feature is the hundreds of arches with a mysterious resonance that changes from the center of each arch to their edges; at points the echoes overlap, propelling the resonance back and forth between each arch — something that can only be experienced to believe. This Resonant Space is a NYC treasure.
