Division St. and Bowery Nov 1

Nov 1 Thursday in the midst of the downtown blackout the city looked quite different at night. 
This is the Bowery in front of Confucius Plaza with only the lights from the cars.
Traffic lights were not working, police had to be there to control traffic approaching Manhattan Bridge. 
Traffic on Division St was all jammed up


At night on Division St people hung around outside talking, as in many parts of the city below 34th St.

OWS Birthday


September 17, OWS birthday, for those who were not there and could not make it, these images can give you a taste of the day.  Occupy Wall Street came back as if it had never left.  

These Forty-two images shows at least a bit of what one person saw.  Look and you will see, for example the clergy in the rose color robe just before the march began.  A few minutes later he was the first to be arrested.


The music these guys came together and created on the spot was fabulous.  If only I had good sound recording equipment.


The next six images are from that evening.  Sorry, to much to move them into cronological order.







These three in wheel chairs got arrested and were waiting to be moved.



The gentleman is opposed to $ in Washington.

This is where the music really go hot.


This fireman captain from NJ wore many hats.




This Asian family were very proud to have their little daughter take a picture next to the band.


This officers sign is worth reading.



After lunch in Battery Park discussion groups reigned.







She made her own outfit to wear on this special occasion.








Take note Byzantium Security






It was a great day.
