    Metallica actually did one of the all time best Queen covers in Stone Cold Crazy. I hope they play it :D

    enjoy :) I've seen Iron Maiden some 30 years ago. Had no idea they still existed!Personally, I much prefer Rainbow (alas, no longer existing)

    No, but Ritchie Blackmore is, who was the only member you could rely on still to be in the band from one year to the next ;)

    Damn, we missed it! Was this last weekend? What streets did it run between?

    As always, great shots!

    Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure the fair ran from 34th to 42nd street. Here's a shot from 32nd, looking northward on Lexington:

    You can just make out the police line and the beginning of the tents.

    Mariner, is that the Chrysler Building in the background? I love the colours in that pic!

    Beautiful pics, Saga! Btw, on pic #3 you see darker veins on the petals. These are a totally cool trick of nature: insects can see in the ultraviolet spectrum but are pretty blind in the red and blue ranges. While the petals look grey to them, the coloured veins reflect UV radiation and point the insects directly to the nectar. Nature's runway lighting =)

    Yes, indeed it is. And thanks!

    Lovely shot of the river RoJoHen!

    And Saga, I really enjoy the closeups, especially the bee. But this one takes the cake. Beautiful!

    Quick, more details! The tabloid's waiting and they need time to photoshop naked Batboy into the picture with Shameless.

    Went to brunch this morning, this was the view of Lake Cazenovia from our table. Sat outside, couldn't ask for a better day.

    After brunch, we visited Chittenango Falls. It is beautiful, plan on going back and hiking down to the bottom and getting a look of it from there.
