It's been Drama and the City ever since Carrie Bradshaw and her Louboutin heels hit the streets of the upper East Side to begin filming "Sex and the City 2" on Tuesday. Hordes of fans began bombarding the set as early as 7 a.m. on the first day of shooting, and it seems that the return of the fashionable foursome - and their hunky male co-stars - has caused a little too much excitement. Film security has had to tighten its game when dealing with the crazed Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda wanna-bes. "They looked more like they were protecting the President than Sarah Jessica Parker," said an onlooker at 84th St. and Park Ave., where the leggy leading lady was repeatedly being filmed hailing a cab. "At one point, teenage girls were practically trampling each other trying to get to Sarah Jessica as she was walking back to her trailer, but her security team was shoving everyone out of the way." When SJP noticed her detail's tactics, she implored them not to "hurt her fans." Said the onlooker: "She looked upset and extremely concerned. The guards were getting pretty rough." The muscles aren't concerned only about the "SATC" ladies. By 9:30 yesterday morning, they were already fighting off fans who had lined up on 52nd St., where Chris Noth and SJP were shooting a scene inside an office building that's reportedly serving as Mr. Big's. "The security team looked really anxious when a male fan approached Chris for a photo," another spy says. Like Parker, Noth told the detail to back off and happily stopped for the fan. At least the fearless followers got reassurance that Carrie and Mr. Big are back on track - they were both sporting wedding rings during filming yesterday, while that accessory was conspicuously missing from Parker's hand on Tuesday. Later yesterday morning, the hysteria continued as fellow "SATC" star Cynthia Nixon (l.) had to be rerouted to her trailer when crowds began aggressively approaching her. "People were screaming and trying to push past guards," a source said. Onlookers were then told that she wouldn't be filming her scene after all. "The fans were just too much," continued the snitch. "Security looked legitimately concerned for her safety." As Miz Bradshaw would say, hey, that's New York!
I tried to find cupcake material for the back of this pillow, but had no luck in my small town.

The first time I used the f/1.7 50mm lens was for this performance at a Griffith Park Hallowe'en event. It was damn dark. Only 2 lights for the entire stage.
Our son-in-law helped build this bar's bar in Brooklyn so we went there to see his work and enjoy a fine meal :>) Some of our trips to NYC are "food excursions" and this year was one of those with many Greek food meals, several Vietnamese (my absolute favorite cuisine :>) and Italian at Grimaldi's !!!
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side.
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together,
It doesn't matter at all.
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just a-traveling along
Singing a song
Side by side.

Bigger than most small dogs, these are HUGE!!
BTW, I dont do HDR.
Chestnut-sided warblers (Setophaga pensylvanica) are still calling and guarding territories in New Hampshire. Their songs sound cheerful, but the males are fairly aggressive in dealing with rivals.The most commonly heard and seen warblers in our area are chestnut-sided and yellow warblers, common yellowthroats, and ovenbirds.

Archaeological Site - Side
Side, with its long history, has accumulated a wealth of archaeological ruins for exploration. The well-preserved city walls provide an entrance to the site through the Hellenistic main gate of the ancient city even though this gate is badly damaged. The second gate is the Monumental Gate, flanked by the marble nymphaion, an elaborate three storey fountain structure decorated with marble reliefs, and supplied by the Manavgat River 18 miles away by means of a system of tunnels and aqueducts. A colonnaded street with many of the marble columns still standing leads to the Monumental Gate beside which is an double stepped podium with an elegant but empty niche bearing a dedicatory inscription to the Emperor Vespasian. The niche originally housed a statue and later on a fountain.
Immediately to your left is the amphitheatre, a mammoth structure which is the most complete ruin at Side and the largest in the Roman style in the region. It could seat around 15,000 people and some seats still contain the inscriptions of patrons’ names. Unlike other Hellenistic theatres that were traditionally carved into the side of a hill, this theatre was erected on flat land and its sheer vertical dimensions were supported by an infrastructure of vaults and arches - a construction unique to the Eastern Mediterranean. The theatre was subsequently altered by the Romans to accommodate gladiators and lions when a thick wall was erected on the lower levels to protect the spectators. You can walk through the seating area, but you can also walk underneath the seats, in the tunnels and ramps through which the spectators would have entered. The one part of the Side amphitheatre which is not intact is the stage, only a part of which is still standing. Over time the arch has collapsed onto the stage and the Proscenium is a jumble of loose blocks. In the 5th century, the theatre was used as an open-air basilica.
The agora, the market place and site of Side’s second-century slave market, and the circular foundations and some of columns of the marble Temple of Tyche from the 2nd century BC are still visible in front of the amphitheatre. The state agora is visible within the sand dunes of the eastern beach at Side. It is an amazing site, surrounded by columns which held a giant cross in the centre during the Byzantine period. It would have been decorated with copies of Greek statues, some of which remain on display in the Side Museum which is housed in the remains of the public bath house. There may also have been a library at this site.
The Temples of Apollo and Athena are adjacent to the ancient harbour which is located on the southeast part of the peninsula. Of these twin structures, built at the end of the 2nd century, it is the partially reconstructed Temple of Apollo that has become Side’s most photographed structure; its fine marble columns frame the sparkling blue of the sea just a stone’s throw away. Unfortunately, the site is now surrounded by barricades while extensive renovation work is carried out, and this rather spoils the otherwise amazing views. The remains of the temples are carefully arranged on the ground outside the barricade and on closer inspection many of these still depict faces, figures and calligraphy. Near the temples is a Byzantine Basilica, a 5th century structure that was built using some of the masonry from the two temples. In the 8th or 9th century, a small church was built in the nave of the ruined basilica.
The experience of entering Side by car and watching from the window as Roman ruins nearly 2000 years old fly by, is simply unforgettable.
