After my feeble people-containing effort, it's back to the inanimate I'm afraid. Comments always appreciated.
Gantry Park urban by another scotsman, on Flickr
Wow, I didn't even know that park existed. I used to live in Astoria which is right next to Long Island City and I remember that location where Gantry Park is as a collection of warehouses and commercial spaces. There was nothing scenic about it at that time. Next time I'm visiting the old neighborhood I'll have to stop off there.
Over the weekend my wife and I went to a place called the sculpture garden which has all sorts of art exhibits spread across a half a dozen acres and I came across this piece. It was a nude laying on the ground next to the outdoor eating area. The eating area had tables and chairs with statues of patrons and waiters and the customers sat intermixed with them.
That bit of shoreline down to Hunters Point certainly seems to have been under recent redevelopment - still a few remnants of the old warehouses and port activities. Seems like a popular place judging from the number of people making use of the park. New eyes...Have a look at some of the other pictures from the park.
It's surprisingly easy to do, even for an amateur like me
I just followed one of the many internet pages about smoke photography and how to fill it with colour and whallah!! instant masterpiece

Comment would be, this has been a lovely series of images... I am looking forward to trying to get something even close to this nice when I head over in November.
Thanks for posting. I love the Pepsi logo there - they have a special place in my memories as they are the reason I was over there working for a year.
Many thanks Kenoh - I was pretty pleased with what I got in essentially one late afternoon/evening. Perhaps a sad way of spending an evening in New York but each to their own
Looking forward to what you bring back.

Mate, you have most definitely set the bar too high for me...
Next door's cat - he definitely didn't want them to cut the grass - he tried laying on the lawn first, then sitting on the mower ...

That's a great set of photos on flickr from Gantry Park and the neighborhood has certainly changed from when I lived in the area, those high rise apartment buildings were not there at that time. Hunters Point up through the 80s, which is the last time I was through there, consisted of a mix of single family, brownstones and some large apartment buildings and the commercial area down by the waterfront. I'm definitely stopping off there the next time we're visiting in Astoria.
Thanks for the compliment Kenoh but no way: your stuff is as good as anyone else's and better than most!
Thanks georgeinnj - glad to be of service
Something from this side of the pond (but still no people). Conway (the castle and walled town) is a 13th century remnant of English invasion of Wales. A 11-shot Hugin panorama. Comments always appreciated.

Really dramatic lighting - deliberately staged? Regardless, love it.
Thanks anotherscotsman. Actually, not staged at all. I have no idea who he is...just a guy with a coffee cup and sandwich container standing at the church door. I grabbed a couple shots on my way by.
