Our strength is in the inner tension
The glory is in the contradiction.

Atmosphere: Shift
Every day is a subtle shift —
Each morning, I am a different person.
What man will I be today?

Urban Life: Painted turtles
Painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) – Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York I spent 6 hours yesterday lying on a bench in Piedmont Park, overlooking Lake Clara Meer. The water was full of honking geese, but I was disappointed by the lack of turtles.
I thought about my visit to Prospect Park last July, when I spotted this log full of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) catching flies. New York, how I miss you.

Western Expedition: Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway
One missed turn becomes a hundred-mile detour;
I will not pass this way again.

Urban Life: Common pigeon
It was a freezing day in Philly when I snapped this pic of a common pigeon (Columba livia) shivering on a fire hydrant — I believe it was on 15th Street in Center City, across from City Hall.
Snow was on the way, and the winter wind whipping between the buildings packed a nasty bite. I hope the bird is doing well with the warmer weather.

Urban Life: World Trade Center Station
I spent a day in New York back in January — it feels like a lifetime ago now.
I wasted an hour on John Street that morning trying to figure out how the hell to get a decent picture of Wilson Eyre‘s Dennison Building — that’s a problem I will return to another time.
Exasperated and edgy (I just had a large coffee from Donut Pub), I gave up and walked over to the corner of Dey and Church Streets, snapping this pic of Santiago Calatrava‘s World Trade Center Station.
It wasn’t a total loss.
