A windy day for sure, but still a beautiful one at that. I love Reflection photos because, well, I love symmetry; especially when it naturally occurs in the outdoors.
Digital platform work, rides and food delivery, etc. has exploded and now employs thousands people, mostly immigrants and young. It's tough to make a buck and most make less than minimum wage.

This multi-generational trio of women were crossing Broadway--and it wasn't easy. People were out in force! Florists were competing for customers' business, creating a festive mood where usually there is none.
I was intrigued by the pregnant woman in the red sweater dress, walking with a teenage girl and an older woman. The dress enhanced all of her curves and she seems blissfully happy, not only about her curves, but the reason for them--the impending birth of her child. She's even baring her shoulders to complete the look. "If you got it, flaunt it," the expression goes. Well, she's got it and is not shy about flaunting it. She's clearly no Anglo-Saxon! :- >
From a feminist perspective, it's her body; she made the choice of motherhood. She is not only embracing that choice, but celebrating it--as well as the changes it has brought to her body. (In French, we would say, "Elle est épanouie.")
Ironically, the reflections of buildings on the car in front of the woman are like a visual echo of her curves. An amazing coincidence!
