NYCat 1,589 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) You inspired me to upload some local images I took a long time ago. There is a locksmith in Greenwich Village who is a self-taught metal sculptor. He has covered the facade of his shop with art made of keys... t E8M716 Detail of metal sculpture made of keys.

Reimar 350 Posted October 15, 2014 Not that I have much hope of being selected with my vertical image, but it is a wonder to me why Alamy displays landscape images at 4.25 x 6.25 inches (on my screen), while portrait images are displayed at 3.4 x 5.1 I think they should be the same size, don't you? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin P Wilson 1,131 Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Two miles from my home at the Lakeside Arts Centre. Highfields Park - Ali Smith fresh from the Man Booker Award dinner where her book How to Be Both was shortlisted. Energetic and interesting I was fortunate to have a pleasant chat with before the reading and discussion - a lovely person and a hugely talented writer. I dropped my camera and damaged a lens. Still did not spoil my memory of the evening (last night). Edited October 18, 2014 by Martin P Wilson 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Rooney 2,101 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I heard on the radio recently that my area might be getting some of those Dutch flood-control engineers over to advice on how to protect against Sandy-like storms. They should know what they're doing. Funny to call them back to what was their own little city in the past. Edited October 29, 2014 by Ed Rooney 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustydingo 753 Posted October 30, 2014 Funny to call them back to what was their own little city in the past. Which, Edo, I assume is why your lovely city still abounds with Tulips in spring. The profusion of flowered parks was a delightful surprise to us. dd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
