Austin/Queens Blvd

Tonight there were a couple of disasters on Queens Blvd and Austin St here in Forest Hills.
Photos below. A cab seems to have crashed into one of the islands and then a truck got a little cramped while trying to pass underneath the LIRR

Highways

Photos of the highway. 

We often take simple things for granted. A stressful workday leads to driving back home during rush hour. A 30 minute commute becomes a 2 hour odyssey back home. All we can come up with is the various inappropriate words to call the neighboring vehicles, the city of New York, and pretty much anything within sight. But at the end of the day our highways connect us all in so many ways.

And hey, there's always public transport!

Enjoy.

Crescent Moon

I find that these images speak for themselves.. I hope to start getting more creative with composition and hopefully finding new and interesting things in the area. With experimentation one grows. And hopefully you will all witness the growth of Forever Hills photography and, through this, the growth of our community.

The moon just happened to place itself so conveniently within the globe that it felt absolutely right.

Enjoy! Happy weekend!

Calm after the Storm

Today's weather was absolutely marvelous. No complaints can be made and I hope everyone took advantage. The clouds below speak for themselves so my speech today is short.

Happy Sunday. Enjoy!

Signs of Summer's End

Today was officially first day of public school in Forest Hills... If the cheese buses weren't enough of a giveaway then the crowds of kids, pre-teens and teens were pretty hard to miss. The school buses roaming the hills this morning and afternoon were a reminder of my favorite season unraveling. Soon the sidewalks will be bubbling over with red, yellow, and orange. Autumn in Forest Hills is always mesmerizing and hopefully this year I will get a chance to capture the essence and warmth of Autumn here in Queens. Autumn in New York City has always been romanticized and for good reason! The beauty speaks for itself.
Below are a few simple shots. Today, the cell phone camera became the perfect instrument for random photography.
Enjoy.

Simple

Sometimes the less you say the more that is understood. Above a simple shot of green grass, trees, water, and panorama..

Happy First day of school!

Enjoy!

School Days

August came and went, quicker than ever, and left us with his responsible sister, September. This responsible, driven, persistent September signals the end of warm summer days enjoying the sun and the waters. Of all people, kids are the most enthused (I'll bet) to see September rear her stoic head. School starts in just a few days and hopefully everyone has completed back to school shopping. Soon enough our morning rush hour trips to work will be again shared with the young who are so eager to make their way to school.

Below a few photos of a school nearby; one that I attended and one that I must walk past on a daily basis. This summer it looked so lonely, but thankfully in a few days it will be full of life again.

Enjoy!
