Here are photos
of the city I love, nature in New York State, other photographs I'd
like people to see:




 
Towers
in clouds was shot likely in the late 1990s.

Patriotism, the Real Thing:

Nature in New York City & State:
This moth--I'd never seen anything like it!--was found in upstate NY;
the Snowy Owl on the right, in the Children's Zoo in Brooklyn.

Above are
photos of a demonstration at Union Square NYC on December 5, 1999, when
Rudy Giuliani was mayor
and treating people very brutally--wanting to deny shelter & rights
to the homeless in his effort to "clean up" the city. Many
people felt outraged, myself among them. That's a young
girl
holding one of artist Robert Lederman's signs, "Crueliani." In the
middle the mother and child's sign says: "We
are homeless, not hopeless. We need
affordable housing." The sign in the last
photo is: "Foxes
have holes, and birds of the air
have nests, but the Children of God have no place to lay their
heads." Visit www.housingaright.org
for an explanation of the cause of homelessness and a real solution to
it.
The
pictures below were found in a magazine, and online:

A
leopard is not a tiger, but these lines, I believe,
describe both:

William Blake
TIGER,
tiger, burning bright
In
the forests of the night,
What
immortal hand or eye
Could
frame thy fearful
symmetry?
