Insane decorations
The Dyker Height section of Brooklyn has become simply crazy. The plethora of decoration and light are simply overwhelming. Nevertheless it's fun to visit here and walk around. There are police everywhere controlling traffic and making sure that pedestrians can safely get across the streets. There are even tour buses that bring in tourists. It's just unreal. this is just one example.

As I was saying...
No, it's not a food blog but I cook a lot these days so I photograph my food creations from which I derive much satisfaction. Not a food blog yet? It will probably never be but you never know. Stay tuned.

I love this park and this building
Madison Square Park is the most European of New York's parks. Here you either have huge parks in each borough like Central Park, Bronx Park, Prospect Park in Brooklyn and Lily Pond Park in Stated Island or basic playgrounds of sorts. There is a third category made up of medium size parks that offer more nature and more recreation but while these are nice and necessary, they are architecturally plain Janes and almost institutional in style. But Madison Square park is different. It has statues, great trees and plants and it even has a famous burgher joint. This park is in no way as glamorous as the Jardin de Luxembourg in Paris or the Villa Borghese in Rome but it gives you a glimpse of that glory and style. But what makes it really special is that from there you can admire New York's most beautiful building, The Flat Iron. I have posted photos of this architectural treasure many times but I never get tired of photographing it. I hope you can put up with me.
tired of photographing it. I hope you can put up with me.

Restore yourselves
Today as you return from buying what usually turns out to be needles items, you will need a heavy soup to restore you from the inclemency of the nasty weather. This is not really becoming a food blog but I fear that as I spend more time cooking it may become one. Stay tunes and keep visiting. In that case I will share with you my many recipes of Italian food with naturally a strong Sicilian bent. This is the best cuisine hands down. It is tasty, good for you and many dishes are very fast and simple. It's no wonder the most popular cuisine. Mangiate; mangiate bene; mangiate all'italiana.

What can I say
Some go to the extreme to decorate their homes for Christmas. Their homes becomes the functional equivalents of fruit cakes. To much is just that. Actually these homes are clustered in specific areas so a there's a great deal of competition. Go figure. To each is own, they mean well and they are very good to the utility company.

Winter light in Sicily
The time I love Sicily the best is the winter when it's all green, full of wild flowers and the produce is to die for. The fact that there are very few tourists is also a plus and the summer heat is just a bad memory. These images of blades of grass were shot close to dusk on a December day in Scopello.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
