I took this photo with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm SLR Film Camera in the early 1990's somewhere between Hamburg, Pennsylvania and Hersey Pennsylvania along "Old Route 22" (aka HEX Highway). I scanned the Negative and used Photoshop Elements 10 to correct the Exposure and Saturation to generate this Electronic Image.
DISCLAIMER: I took these Photographs with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 Single Lens Reflex Camera using Color Negative Film in the early 1990's, while I was just learning Photography and therefore they exhibited very poor Exposure, Composition and Sharpness. I've utilized Photoshop Elements 10™ & Photomatix Essentials 4.0.1™ to optimized them as best as I could.
Well, how else was the bride and her bridesmaids going to get
to the wedding-service on time? Good thing there was parallel parking/docking? OK, so we do things a little differently here in the Florida Keys. And yes, there is a boat-hull under this Pink Cadillac limousine. Don't ask to put the top up; because there isn't any. The good thing is; there's never any traffic. Always on time. And yes, after the ceremony the newlyweds drove off across the bay & into the sunset... LOL ~ NAUTILIMO ~ Islamorada, Florida ~ Florida Keys

It's definitely an aquired talent and a must for living in the city. I think they should give classes on it myself. There's a slight trick to it I learned.
This skyway is sooo much better than that other skyway down the street.
Talcott Street is a joy to travel because of the huge beautiful skyway that spans it.

In downtown Hartford, Connecticut, on September 23rd, 2021, on Talcott Street east of Main Street.
The bridge and the buildings it connects are "contributing properties" to the Department Store Historic District (95000284 on the National Register of Historic Places), built 1918. At the right is the former G. Fox & Co. Building (designed by Cass Gilbert); at the left is the G. Fox & Co. Warehouse.

The full Moon rising over DC on the night of 25 February 2013. Post-processing edits as follows:
SKY - I overlaid a shot of the Moon from the same time, albeit at a faster exposure & smaller aperture. The sky was manually blackened to clear light pollution, haze, and image noise resulting from shooting at a high ISO. The glow around the moon from light pollution & haze would've been awkward when combined with the crisp shot from the faster exposure / smaller aperture.
GROUND - The ground level is an HDR processed from three images, meaning it's a combination of a darker shot, a normal shot, and a bright shot. I manually filled over-saturation artifacts (where over-exposed spots "burn" bright colors into the whiteness; results of the HDR method I used). Lastly, the image was converted to black & white to compensate for the harsh sodium-lit color palette & tinted by 3% to add a slight touch of warmth while still looking black & white.
Total work time - About 30 minutes. I could've spent more edging the horizon & around the construction, but opted instead to rush so I could get to bed on a work-night. So moral of the story: don't view & nitpick at full-resolution.

It's like eating Mark Twain's fried legs! Tastes good!
I feel that the lower sign should be redone so that the amount of space between words is the same as on the upper sign, with the remaining space distributed in equal amounts to the left and right ends.

This might be the best parallel parking job I've ever done. About 2 inches in the back, and a little less than that in front.
"If it weren't from 1946 I wouldn't care about this building at all!" I exclaimed as I took pictures.

This is NOT our car, nor our house. It is the car of someone in our neighborhood. Reportedly this happened while they were attempting to park in the driveway. Everyone was okay because it was a low-speed incident, but it did make for quite a sight.
"Mim's Bar" used to occupy the downstairs. Do you think Buick LaCrosses are beautiful?
A funfact about this building from my family history: In 1966 my parents met and fell in love when they were trapped in the upstairs apartment with several other people for an entire night. Their romance didn't last but here I am!

New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.

Parallel parking in Paris ...
Note the beautiful and colourful pavement. It's a horror to drive on that. One, it's noisy. Two, it's slippery. But it's beautiful.
You better be good at parallel parking in La Grange, Kentucky, if there is a train in the street! Here, southbound CSX train No. Q573 with HLCX locomotive on the point puts the pressure on the driver of a black Kia Rio on the afternoon of August 10, 2012. As can be seen, there is not much of a driving lane on the south side of Main Street.
