Doing my rounds of photographing the trees of Tompkins square Park for my tree identification project, at first I thought people were peeing at the southeast entrance to the park. But no, it was just the flowers of this hawthorn tree. The strong fragrance attracted many Red Admiral butterflies which are migrating through NYC at the moment.
Slightly ahead of the super full moon at sunset on the Lower East Side. When the moon at perigee coincides with the full moon it is called a super full moon. It is cloudy tonight when it happens, this was shot on Friday.
High above the Southeast corner of Tompkins Square Park this armless, winged angel stares out over the park. I’ve seen other angels with wings for arms around NYC.
Aside from the gatherings in Bryant Park, Union Square and Madison Square Park, there were many individual actions and pickets throughout May Day. Here the Strand bookstore is being picketed for unfair labor practices.
