Gum (3 layers) over cyanotype. This time I used a second, thin layer of red to try to balance the strong yellow. Overall, it looks a bit unnaturally warm to me now, but what do you think? :) Thanks!

Traditionally, in North American cities, the stoop served an important function as a spot for brief, incidental social encounters. Homemakers, children, and other household members would sit on the stoop outside their home to relax, and greet neighbors passing by. ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_stoop ~

Gum over cyanotype, with an extra blue gum layer on top. Wish I had cropped out that bright spot on the upper right corner :(

"Harlem is a neighborhood in Upper Manhattan, New York City. It is bounded roughly by the Hudson River on the west; the Harlem River and 155th Street on the north; Fifth Avenue on the east; and Central Park North on the south. The greater Harlem area encompasses several other neighborhoods and extends west and north to 155th Street, east to the East River, and south to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Central Park, and East 96th Street.
Originally a Dutch village, formally organized in 1658, it is named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. Harlem's history has been defined by a series of economic boom-and-bust cycles, with significant population shifts accompanying each cycle. Harlem was predominantly occupied by Jewish and Italian Americans in the 19th century, but African-American residents began to arrive in large numbers during the Great Migration in the 20th century. In the 1920s and 1930s, Central and West Harlem were the center of the Harlem Renaissance, a major African-American cultural movement. With job losses during the Great Depression of the 1930s and the deindustrialization of New York City after World War II, rates of crime and poverty increased significantly. In the 21st century, crime rates decreased significantly, and Harlem started to gentrify.
The area is served by the New York City Subway and local bus routes. It contains several public elementary, middle, and high schools, and is close to several colleges, including Columbia University, Manhattan School of Music, and the City College of New York. Central Harlem is part of Manhattan Community District 10. It is patrolled by the 28th and 32nd Precincts of the New York City Police Department. The greater Harlem area also includes Manhattan Community Districts 9 and 11 and several police precincts, while fire services are provided by four New York City Fire Department companies.
New York, often called New York City or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States. With a 2020 population of 8,804,190 distributed over 300.46 square miles (778.2 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The city is within the southern tip of New York State, and constitutes the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area – the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With over 20.1 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and 23.5 million in its combined statistical area as of 2020, New York is one of the world's most populous megacities, and over 58 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of the city. New York City is a global cultural, financial, and media center with a significant influence on commerce, health care and life sciences, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports. New York is the most photographed city in the world. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy, an established safe haven for global investors, and is sometimes described as the capital of the world." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.
The country's smallest Grade II listed building? A partly buried guide stoop, or guide post, to be seen in Hay Dale near Wardlow. Dated 1737, it has been moved from its original site and also appears to have been used as a gatepost at sometime. Recycling isn't a new idea....
This side has 'Tidswell Road' carved into it.
Christine is also in my stoop shot which has been asked to be used for the BBC !!

I spotted this rather well-dressed man sleeping on a stoop on Christmas Eve morning. He was equipped with a crutch, a cast on his left hand, a bottle of whiskey in his pocket and the mixer to go with it sitting beside him. He didn't look down and out at all. It just looked like he had too much of a good time and decided to sleep it off.

Once the sun comes up in the French Quarter, part of me dies like a vampire. But there IS STILL a lot of visual interest for me.
A happy group of revelers on their stoop (I'm guessing it's their stoop).
The girl on the right was originally standing up against the railing, and they were all casually talking and drinking. When I approached them and asked if I could take their photo, they pretty much immediately posed like this. Yet I really wanted more of an un-posed candid shot...
