New York, New York. The city is so nice they named it twice. I have been visiting my family in Brooklyn for over ten years and when they're at work or school, I walk and walk and walk and walk.

I have grown to love industrial art and especially standpipes. (Standpipes are for multiple-story buildings in case of fire, the fire hoses get hooked up so the heavy fire hoses full of water don't have to get dragged up the stairs... hopefully, they will never have to be used!)

Here are some of my latest offerings!

Tiny tags like this always make me wonder. What caused a tagger to pick that particular spot? How long does it take to tag a manhole cover? If I was painting my name on a manhole cover, I'm not sure I'd be able to stop myself giggling!

Maybe a crazy Stalin? The moustache looks kind of like Joseph Stalin's face fuzz.

They almost look like a smiley face, with the standpipe openings as the eyes and a painted smile beneath.

The colors are surprisingly nice, art in an unexpected place.
