Christiern Posted June 22, 2008 Report Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) I was working at my computer when music came into my apartment from the outside. I grew louder and louder, so I looked out the window... Then I went for an elevator ride to get a closer look... They were Colombians, but I don't know what they were celebrating. The music was canned but wonderful. Edited June 22, 2008 by Christiern Quote
Larry Kart Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Nice pictures, happy stuff. Your apartment is on the West Side, overlooking Central Park? If so, cool. If not, still looks cool. Quote
papsrus Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Nothing like a parade to liven up the afternoon! Thanks for the pics. Quote
Christiern Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Glad you like them. Yes, Larry, my apartment is on Central Park West, facing the Triboro Bridge (East) and one block south of Duke Ellington Boulevard. This is the third south-of-the-border parade we have had this year. In my 46 years living here, I don't recall any previous ones--except the very bizarre ones my late friend, cellist Charlotte Moorman, had in the Sixties (one had her floating above the street, cello between her legs, suspended by gas-filled balloons like a Macy's Thanksgiving figure. Unlike a suspended-from-the-balcony performance she gave at Carnegie Hall, Charlotte was never naked in her parades. Wild woman, I still miss her--ah, the good old days!

Big Al Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Have you ever considered publishing a book of your photos? Seriously. Quote
