A year in photographs: Days 128 through 133

My parents visited Istanbul a few months ago and one of the gifts they got me back was this key chain. I'm not much of a trinkets/key chains girl, but this one I adore!

NYC fire escapes!

I loved these large almost flamboyant hats and the bored, slightly snooty expression on the mannequin heads!

Walking by Union Square, you can always see pairs of people intently playing chess - I keep promising myself that one of these days I'm going to stop and watch a whole game.

It is so rare in this crazy, crowded city that you see a completely empty/desolate area.
