New York City before Sandy—Part 1

I have been looking at many photographs of New York City after Hurricane Sandy hit.  Both in 2011 and 2012, I spent a week in New York City.  It is almost spooky looking at the streets of New York without any people in the scene.  It’s just not New York City.

When I think of New York City, I think hustle and bustle, people hurrying here and there, and, of course, strange scenes just about everywhere you look.

When you look at today’s photo, you just got to think:  “what does a New York Police officer think of this unpaid advertising?”

Our prayers go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy.  Those of us who live on the Gulf Coast know what you are going-through.

Enjoy.
