Times Square Reflections

In Manhattan on Times Square tourists often take a snap shot portrait featuring a naked cowboy or cowgirl, a typical New York City attraction.

I wonder: if Rome, Athens, Tokyo, Moscow would consider installing a similar performance, what would it be? In Rome I saw some ancient soldiers guarding the colosseum, in Berlin American and Russian soldiers were guarding the “Brandenburger Tor” or the “Checkpoint Charlie”; what do we want to meet in Paris? A Napoleon double maybe? Do you have some ideas for your favorite city?

  1. For Paris, I’m not sure it could be possible to do that 😀 , specially nowadays with all the wrong debates we have in this country. And Napoleon made so many deaths in Europe and in France…
    the only thing funny I saw was near the Moulin Rouge : http://icezine.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/week-19-angel-in-the-city/ , like our Broadway 😉

  3. Frizz, Happy New Year to you and your family – remember that cottage you wanted to sit and play music etc? I am sitting in one only we have lashing winds and rains outside with leaks making their way through the roof. Wunderbar! Great shots of Times Sq, they make feel so warm, and will try and take shots when back there soon, and the New Year crowds have gone their way. Once again, all best and a huge thank you to you for your wonderful company!
