Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

The game is Petanque. It is a bowling (or pitching) game from southern France. The photo shows the goals, to pitch the big balls close to the cochonnet (piglet). Here they are counting scores and picking up the balls for the next round.
This was taken on one of the really stinking hot days in July. This little boy, along with his brothers and sisters, had the brilliant idea of going and swimming in the fountains by the Victoria rooms in Bristol. Splashing and playing and having a wonderful time, they were completely oblivious to all of the disgruntled looking business men in their expensive suits who obviously thought these kids were out of line. I kept hearing them say things like 'where the hell are their parents?' and 'somebody should bloody do something about this'.
They were just secretly jealous that they couldnt go and play too.
Bastards.

For a town with a population of 26,000, Paramus' mall count makes no sense. The town contains 4 regional malls, all within 5 miles of each other. Another mall is located just over the border with Hackensack, NJ.
The story makes more sense when one considers that the town is located 10 miles from Manhattan, and in the middle of the most densely populated metropolitan area in the US. The area was farmland until the 50's and 60's, at which point developers realized that flat farmland, located adjacent to major interstate highways outside of a major population center like New York City, could be more profitably used for shopping centers. The area surrounding Paramus also experienced explosive growth in the 60's and 70's due to white flight and the general post-war growth of the New York suburbs in New Jersey.
Couple the location with the fact that New Jersey has no sales tax on clothing, and you end up with a zip-code with the highest retail sales in the US. This is even more eye-opening when one considers that Paramus' Blue Laws prohibit any of its shopping malls from opening on Sundays.
The 771,000 sq. ft. Paramus Park Mall was developed by The Rouse Company and opened in 1974 with A&S and Sears as anchors. Later, a Fortunoff home store was added as a junior anchor. Paramus Park is neither the largest nor the most impressive of the 5 area malls, but I have always loved the Sears here, and my mom frequented the mall because, with 2 anchors, it was easy to get in and out without a huge time investment.
This 289,000 sq. ft. Macy's was originally an A&S (Abraham & Strauss) which was the Brooklyn, NY-based department store's first location in New Jersey. At the time the store opened, Paramus was already home to: Bamberger's, Gimbel's, Lord & Taylor, B. Altman's, Stern Brothers, Ohrbach's, Alexander's, with Bloomingdales one town over. Saks Fifth Avenue would be added 2 years later; this in a town which had been farmland 20 years earlier.
The A&S store opened with the mall in 1974, and received a complete renovation in 1988, adding these tinted-glass entryways that were very popular at malls in the 1980's. It converted to Macy's with the rest of the chain in 1995 and, in addition to a Macy's furniture gallery, it is one of two full-line Macy's stores in Paramus. (At one point there were 3 plus the furniture gallery)
The mall can be accessed from Route 17 using roads names for its anchors--Sears and A&S. Even though the store changed to Macy's in 1995, the road is still called A&S Drive today.

Shot from my trip last weekend - taken from the car on the highway. See original shot in comments (only with a slight curve adjustment). The shot above (only the sky) was processed with Florabella texture 'Painterly'.
Hope everyone is having a great week!
This so helpful. Now how many of those things I ordered will actually get here on time? However we do subscribe to the notion that the season of light goes on longer than it shows on the calendar -
No Invites please ....
Just something to remember in going about our lives.
Seeing this young man just gave me a time to pause and reflect.

There are 24 signal lights in this shot and this is only one corner of the Iron Triangle. The two major railroads that pass thru Fostoria are the NS and CSX with CSX being the major player. There are three main diamonds and several connector tracks that make up the Iron Triangle with a daily average of 120 trains per day. In one 10 hr period this past week we counted 68 trains, many with foreign power units. The brick building center left, is CSX Tower "F" which is still manned and in operation and controls all movement thru the triangle. If you're a train watcher this is the place to go for sure!
