1. Anyone hear fireworks to the south last night? I could just about see them from my LR and took some shots.

It turns out that they were 3-4 miles away in Moonachie at the celebration for the 100th anniversary of the Moonachie Fire Department.



2. I'm trying to get photos of the various colors of the Empire State Building from home. Last night, it was blue, white, and orange.

After I took the first shot, I noticed that the clouds were lowering, so I shot the below sequence.

While editing the images, I noticed that the spire of the building on the far left changed colors, which I never noticed before. I don't know what's going on at the spire's base. The clouds weren't that low. It looks like the spire just crash-landed and shot up dust and debris.

While I was arranging that 4-image sequence, I noticed that the spire of the building to its right also changed colors, though to a less frequent and less obvious degree (2-image sequence).

I don't know what buildings they are. The left one has a top like the Citicorp building, but that's further north. If you know, post it and ejumicate me.

The latest from-home shots:

Considering what was available at the time, this roll of the dice was the best Highway to Hell option by far.

Unless............well, you know...........

Another day, another Ling letter in The Record:

Still trying to catch up on the Spring spate of shooting. I probably won't do much in the summer because I can't stand heat and humidity, so I'm making up for it in advance.

A couple of Sundays ago, I shot from the Bogota side of the Court St bridge construction. Since there was almost zero access, it took little time, so I went over to FDU and crossed the footbridge to the Hackensack side and walked north towards Rt 4.

I'm posting the pictures I took from Hackensack that day first and the next post will be the pictures I took from Bogota and Teaneck the same morning.


1. I wonder what the goose was looking for (or hiding from) and what kind of pipe it's standing on.

2.  Are those garbage bags on the left?

3. I'm sure you've read about the problems under the Rt 4 bridge, but..........

4. ..........this looks worse than I thought.

5. The pathway stopped short of 4, so I walked up towards Hackensack Ave, cut through the Hooter's lot and found myself on 4, walking towards Teaneck. Eastbound was pretty jammed.

The rest of the pictures from this walk are in the next post

6-7. Before I went home, I took some pictures at the American Glass & Metal building on Passaic St, where I got compressed a bit.

Don't forget dessert!
