I know these are repetitious, and I may eventually decide to delete a couple of them from this Flickr album ... but I was intrigued by this Mac/PC couple, and very much enjoyed watching how they arranged themselves -- facing in opposite directions -- in this little protected clump of trees in Riverside Park...

OK, so it's not Justin Long and John Hodgman doing their funny bit to compare the features of Macs versus Windows-based computers ... but it's still a little amusing to see something like this, out in the middle of a peaceful park environment...

 

You have to wonder what else this couple argues about, besides their laptop of choice: politics, religion, Yankees-vs-Red Sox?

I've strolled through Riverside Park on several previous occasions (click here to see a collection of approximately seven other Flickr albums of my Riverside Park photos) -- but even though the sign at the 96th Street entrance is always the same, and the pathway is always the same, the people and the individual vignettes are always different.

 

Sometimes it's simply a function of the weather: people dress differently, act differently, and engaged in different activities in early spring than they do in summer or late fall. But much of it simply has to do with the incredible variety of people who take advantage of the opportunity to relax, read a book, jog, or picnic with their families.

 

So ... this just happens to be what it looked like in Riverside Park on the last day of May, in 2009.
