Went Downtown today to fly my drone and capture images & videos with my Mirrorless and iPhone cameras too. Flew the drone down at Volunteer Landing. Walked Strong Alley for new mural art. Then went to World's Fair Park for a 2nd drone flight. Also got some photos there too. Picked up my lunch at Yassin's Falafel House. Ended up coming home afterwards.

Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (1813-1901), one of the worlds most renowned composers, is immortalized by such operas as Aida, La Traviata, Otello, and Rigoletto, which are still performed regularly to great acclaim. This legacy is also captured in the Verdi Monument, created by Sicilian sculptor Pasquale Civiletti (1858-1952) in 1906. Made of Carrara marble and Montechiaro limestone, this statue depicts Verdi flanked by four of his most popular characters: Falstaff, Leonora of La Forza del Destino, Aida, and Otello.
Verdi was born in Le Roncole, Italy, on October 10, 1813. Denied entrance in 1832 to the renowned Conservatory in Milan, he was privately schooled and became the municipal musical director of Busseto in 1834. In 1839 his first opera, Oberto, was produced at the famous La Scala opera house in Milan. He went on to compose more than twenty operas, as well as other choral works and the Messa da Requiem (1874). Verdi was also a benefactor of many charitable causes, including a working-class farm, a hospital, and an old-age home for musicians. He died on January 27, 1901. Having attained almost mythic status during his lifetime, Verdi was instrumental in further developing opera into an integrated art form of drama and music.
The president of the Verdi Monument Committee, Carlo Barsotti (18501927), championed public recognition of pre-eminent Italians as a source of inspiration for New Yorks large Italian-American community. As founder and editor of Il Progresso Italo Americano, he used his newspaper to raise funds for this project by public subscription. Barsotti was instrumental in erecting this monument as well as those honoring Christopher Columbus (1892) in Columbus Circle, Giuseppe Garibaldi (1888) in Washington Square Park, Giovanni da Verazzano (1909) and Dante Alighieri (1921) in Dante Square.
The Verdi monument was unveiled on October 12, 1906, the 414th anniversary of Columbuss discovery of America. The day began with a march of Italian societies from Washington Square to the site at Broadway and West 72nd Street. Over 10,000 people attended the unveiling, attesting to the significance of the occasion in uniting Italian-Americans in celebration of their cultural and artistic heritage. The sculptures were unveiled by Barsottis grandchild who pulled a string that released a helium balloon, lifting the monuments red, white and green shroud (the colors of the Italian flag). As it peeled away, a dozen doves - concealed in its folds - were released into the air, and flowers cascaded from the veil upon the participants.
By the 1930s the monument had suffered from the effects of weathering, pollution and vandalism, and underwent restoration, including the replacement of sculptural features. In 1974, Verdi Square was designated a Scenic Landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, one of only eight public parks to receive this distinction. In 1996-97, the monument was again extensively conserved with funding from the Broadway/72nd Street Associates.
A permanent monument maintenance endowment has been established by Bertolli USA, Inc. Additional funds for landscaping designed by Lynden Miller have been donated by Harry B. Fleetwood, and the Verdi Square landscape has been endowed in memory of musician James H. Fleetwood.

Raccoons are crafty animals, preying on any opportunity given to them by the humans who have moved in around them. Sometimes though the knocking over of trash cans becomes annoying, and they need to be captured and relocated like this one.
He looks so sorry though...

I recently decided to Upload some of my shots again.
It's been a while ago now,
so i thought to take a picture of the Moon to start with.
This picture i took a while ago so it isn't that new.
But it was a try out to see what my camera does,
when fully zoomed in.
I didn't used special equipment.
What i do use at the moment is a Polaroid UV filter.
I took the shot with my,
Fujifilm HS20, ISO 200, f/11, 1/125, with UV filter.
Feel free to comment,
any advice for better settings will be much appreciated.
I hope you like it.
Much more will come in April.
Brought in the Contrast to 75%,
and the Luminosity to 100%.
A little tip! Only just use the Lightbox on the Right.
If you zoom in on the picture,
You probably wouldn't see anything,
not even NASA equipment. :)
