A bird of wisdom.
Looking straight at the Charging Bull, unmoved by its popularity.
Evidently not amused.

A bit of a bull
People queue in order to get photographed touching the bull’s balls, can you believe it. Like this fellow who ran the New York City Marathon the previous day; here, holding his medal with one hand and the bull’s balls with the other. This little ”good luck” ritual is repeated by all kinds of people all day long. Well what can I say – some people are born lucky, for others it takes balls!

NYSE on Snapchat
Whyever would one want to do that? Now, if it was the other way round…
”Snap surges 44% in its stock market debut — after an IPO that made its 20-something founders multibillionaires” – title of an article on Business Insider, dated March 2nd, 2017.
The photo was taken four months earlier, in November 2016 – a sign of things to come and I thought nothing of it (I still don’t)…!

Wanderlust
This isn’t art…. it is a crime scene…! – exclaimed a woman close beside me as I was taking photos. That may have been the most accurate description of this installation, yet!
On the chillier side of wanderlust, part of the High Line Art commissions.

Happily FAILEd
This giant mural is the work of FAILE, a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller. It covers an entire side wall of a building that happens to be The Record Plant, a legendary recording studio on 44th St. in Hell’s Kitchen, active from the late sixties until 1987, when it closed.
Imagine bumping into Aretha Franklin, Frank Zappa, Jimmy Hendrix, John Lennon, Cyndi Lauper, among others – they all recorded here; these are but a few of the names that emerged when I looked up the address.
Today, it is a high-tech business centre and I am desperate for a time-machine.
