My first post of the Gates was at the Harlem Meers, so its only fitting that I end it there. I was fortunate enough to be there as the full Moon rose offering a gentle glow in the darkest corner of the park. Perfect for the throngs of people that took advantage of this once in a lifetime event to soak it all in around the clock. It seemed that the Park hadn't seen this much traffic since the sixties when the old Schaeffer Concerts at Wollman Memorial Rink would draw thousands to the park. The party would continue long into the night and spread throughout the park.
Congratulations on a beautiful site. I stumbled upon your site after searching Google for pictures of Astoria, Queens. I am an ex-NYC resident who is now living in Athens, Greece. I went through most of your archive yesterday and found your pictures to be 'different'. Just like you mentioned in one of your posts (you taking pix of Times Square pix takers) - anyone can recognize NYC from a picture but you take it in a different way and select non-tourist scenes like graffiti and anything outside of Manhattan.
