New York City… day 1… part 12… Manhattan, as seen across the East River from Brooklyn… and yes, there might be some more pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge too. What am I supposed to do, not make you look at them? And I threw in a couple of the Statue of Liberty and some boats, so just look at those if you are tired of the bridge…

Okay, well, yeah, that is the bridge, but look at the pretty lights in the trees. Ummm… look at the clouds? The top of that hill over to the right? I got nothing! I just like the way the cables … Continue reading →

Posted on November 4, 2019 by pouringmyartout

I see dead people… These are some pretty old headstones. I mean, by American standards, not by any other part of the world, but still. These people are buried around a very famous church in New York City. This is … Continue reading →

Posted on November 4, 2019 by pouringmyartout

We said goodbye to the 9-11 memorial site and the new World Trade Center Tower, making our way past the fire station just around the corner. We saw an adorable little park. I love the giant rose. I also loved … Continue reading →

New York City… day 1… part 5… 9-11 ground zero…

Posted on November 3, 2019 by pouringmyartout

New York City… day 1… part 2… wait, there was a battle in Brooklyn???

Posted on October 31, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Messing with art and history; a ‘spot what’s wrong with this picture’ game… part 19…

Posted on October 18, 2019 by pouringmyartout

I really like that one. They are both such strong characters. They typify the hard life on a farm. But, if you remove the gender biases, it raises a startling series of societal questions. Which sex is really the stronger? … Continue reading →
