We are less than two weeks away from Halloween, and this is happening at the Americana. I walked over there, because it was a summer-like day in the high 80s, and I needed to get out. I first saw this at the Barnes & Noble bookstore and took a photo of it from there, but I walked closer after I left the bookstore to get this shot. There was a fence up to block off the view from the general public, but I raised my phone up and did a Hail Mary, getting this image.
I wonder how soon before they put up the Christmas tree?

Street art Frankey gives the city small inconspicuous surprises. Sometimes quite large, sometimes very small. Every week a photo with one of his recent works appears in the supplement to the newspaper Het Parool. A great opportunity to take a closer look at his work. Sometimes you have to search to find it and sometimes it is already gone.
A beautiful sleek facade in Oud-West that is not quite perfect is immediately used by Frankey.

Streetart Frankey
Streetart Frankey (pseudonym of Frank de Ruwe) is a Dutch artist who wants to positively influence the street scene with relatively small and often inconspicuous works of art.
He grew up in Nijmegen, father was an inventor at Philips Netherlands. He studied at Delft University of Technology (Industrial design). In daily life director of and working for design collective Natwerk. In Amsterdam, many of his works in the street art category can be found on buildings, streets and bridges, often in addition to existing building elements. He himself about his work;
"I want to push boundaries. Art has no boundaries, that's why I like it so much."
In 2019, a special page has been dedicated to his art in Het Parool for a number of years; first he took care of that section himself, later he had to leave that work to others because of busy work. A little later his work Eberhard van der Laan appeared above the entrance of Paradiso.
One of the works that inspired him is the Boomzagertje in the Leidsebosje, a work by an as yet unknown artist.

Female construction workers are prolific in Bangladesh's construction industry. The way they work from dawn till dusk is nothing short of a marvel. However, I don't know whether any discrimination exists or not. Didn't have the chance to speak to any of them, yet.

Photo taken in Times Square, Manhattan, NY.
This sculpture by Sergio Furnari is based on the 1932 classic photograph "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" by Charles C. Ebbets.
Lunch atop a Skyscraper (New York Lunching on a Crossbeam) is a famous black-and-white photograph taken during construction of the RCA Building at 30 Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, New York City, United States.
The full story about the photo is here:

On one of this large development's many new houses. Probably not affordable for most people, unless with a forever mortgage. Even though that's the south side I'm surprised there's not a single window. iPhone 8+ photo.

We don't pay enough tribute to the backbone of Shanghai's construction fervor, as unhappy as Shanghai residents seem to be by all the Expo-driven noise and air pollution.
We crane our necks to identify the peaks of skyscrapers that overrun the city but tend to sweep over the ubiquitous orange and red helmets dotting the sides of streets - hauling concrete, climbing into sewers and soldering windows in unfinished buildings. They are migrant labor that are building the China dream but are rarely able enjoy the luxurious fruits which the well-off take for granted.
They are also the unrecognized residents of Shanghai, and in many cases, looked down upon because they are mostly from out of the city, or “wai di ren” from poorer and far-flung provinces of China. Perhaps they make enough to help the family back home to buy a pig or send their children to school. If they are lucky, they can help their families buy a television with the help of generous rural subsidies that the government recently introduced.
This gentleman, in a group of mingling workers, was most pleased to have his portrait taken with the Shanghai World Financial Centre (SWFC) as his workplace backdrop. Upon looking at the resulting image, he scratched his head and stared back at the building, as if it had never occurred to him to do so.
For having poured their blood, sweat and tears into building Shanghai's skyline for minimum wage, they ultimately have no ownership or belonging in that part of China's dream.
