i think if i listen to the cure or depeche mode while looking at this picture the gothiness would cripple me. ;oP thassa beautiful picture though my dear
i just moved here from seattle and have been taking in the sites in no particular order but all of your Cloisters photos have inspired me ~ i must go there next!
btw, i've much enjoyed your pictures. they're gorgeous :)
Take the A-Line to 190th St. to get there. Because it is part of the Met your admission is also good for the main museum in Central Park for the day, too.
Get yourself a NTF (Not For Tourists) book. They are little black books that will fit in a pocket or purse. All the subway info you'll ever need is in there, plus lots of other great information like theatres, restaurants, museums, libraries, cinemas, parks, et. al. I know people born and raised in Manhattan that carry them around. Seriously useful little books.
Just make sure you get the Manhattan one because there is one for Brooklyn as well. The Manhattan one is thicker and has some (enough) information on the outer-boroughs - but really, why would you ever leave Manhattan? ;-)
hmm, i always kinda figured that's what WA should do regardless vancouver is wonderful too and you have pictures and memories that can bring you here whenever you like
i rather think that places are like people in the ways that they affect and interact with us, and vice versa; with some places we click and others we don't. so, in this sense, one's home can be a place where one does not live.
or perhaps it was the black clothing in the dead of summer ;)
That and the J-walking. You can spot tourist by watching to see who waits for the lights vs. who just walks across the street whenever there is a gap in the traffic.
Okay ....(whew)... thank god thats SUNLIGHT and there are no candles lit .. Or Elaine would have so much Goth that it would collapse under its own Gravitational field ....
Shadows on the walls, all the Pvc and lace withing a 5 block radius, all the copies of"the crow" "dracula" and Nosferatu would fly from blockbuster shelves... they would all come in this vortext of black... and gothic spacetime would bend around her ..making her forever young..
you know Mike .. you just can't make that sound good ... that type of line is Spin proof...
..as a BF you're supposed to counter her self-esteem shot with "..no...no.... you look fabulous....it was the lights fault.. the motor in the brick.... the stupid architect who built that church wrong... in fact ..its the whole catholic architetural movement that is ugly .. and its their fault that they never properly prepared for the second comming..of beauty....: :p
(yes.. it is a lie .. a white lie .. a KLAN white lie.. but it's your duty)
