Warm Rain
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011
The rain was not as refreshing as I’d hoped. East Houston Street.
Thunderstorm over Manhattan

The outskirts of the tornado that hit Brooklyn.
Lightning Over Midtown
Friday, July 23rd, 2010
I went to my roof to watch for the possible tornado predicted by the weather service. It looked like most of the activity happened further uptown. There was a lot of lightning but all of it too far away to hear thunder.
Spring Rain
Friday, April 9th, 2010
Umbrellas and Construction shed perspectives, I like them both as photo subjects. Columbia and East Houston Streets.
Anyone carrying a bunch of colorful balloons is worth a shot. These photos were taken during last week’s long rain, while the GammaBlog was gone migrating to its new server.

Leaning Tower of Toys
Friday, May 16th, 2008
Perhaps this shot shows the lean more viscerally. I’m starting to think that it may come down on its own. The removal by the Parks Department may have been delayed by the wet weather today. But the rain may be exacerbating the lean, making mud of the soil beneath the tower. And on second look the eastern base is flimsier than I was thinking. Who knows maybe only the roots of the tree it is built around is holding the tower up. Photo from around 2 this afternoon.
Delancey Construction
Monday, April 7th, 2008
The whole block of shops between Suffolk and Clinton Streets on Delancey are shuttered and surrounded by construction sheds. Don’t know if it is another hi-rise, but that seems to be the trend.
