Graffiti in Chinatown, #NYC. The landlord painted it over years ago, but I remember it. Also, the rough-looking neighborhood bar by the same name is still next door. #ArtChallenge #ShowHeart #photography #WallsOnWednesday #graffiti #LowerEastSide #Chinatown

A hand drawn mural of large red hearts and blue flowers alternating on a blue background. Among the hearts are the words "Forgt Me Not" with the letter "E" apparently forgotten. There are also large kegs of beer and refuse bins on the ground in front of the mural.

An architect once said that some buildings sit and some stand. Seated here is the Tweed Courthouse (1881) with the Woolworth Building (1913) behind it. Two #NYC landmarks. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJuxtaposition #Photography #StreetPhotography #Lumix

In the pale purplish light of dusk a skyscraper towers over a courthouse. The courthouse has an octagonal skylight, some classical details around its windows, and columns supporting a pediment above the entrance.
