From a recent trip to NYC

Central Park:



A grim reminder of the suffering...



Among the hubbub of happiness....

Looks great, Sury

Good shots here, Sury.

The first one is so right and fitting for the challenge on Fall Foliage, especially with the narrative/description you have submitted with the photo that's already running in the challenge thread. This one looks to be a stronger for what you advocate... : )

A homeless finding some privacy in the cold, green terrain of the park an instant observation...
And, the iridescent giant bubble in the third against a stained cold and wet archway creates a nice contast...gloomy background but a sense of mischief hanging in the air.

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz,
Thank you and you make a good point about this photo being a stronger representative of the symbiosis
I was talking about.

Hi Sury;

Would you be interested in submitting the photo to the challenge since it's not too late ? Even I can link to it if it's alright with you.
(you don't have to. Just an afterthought)

Different strokes for different people....



Same "stroke" for all the people...



Self absorbed...



Selfie absorbed....

Nice captures, Sury. I hope you enjoyed your trip to the Big Rotten Apple!

I've been there a couple of times, and while interesting to visit, I wonder why so many people suffer all the crowding, crime and misery for the few good things that are there!

Thank you Dusty. Having grown up in India, the crowds was not a deterrent to me at all. I think that can be said about
most who grew up in crowded places. If you think about it, quite a few of those "suffering" the crowds, would not move
to less populated places. Everyone has reasons to avoid crowds as well as to embrace them as well.

Sury
P.S. Having spent more than half of my life in US mostly in San Jose which is considered crowded, I do find my hometown in India "crowded" now.
