An Iconic Landmark
Via Flickr:
The Empire State Building is a 102-story landmark in New York City, United States, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. It is 1,250 ft (381 meters) tall. Its name is derived from the nickname for New York, the Empire State. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building)
I didn't get a chance to capture the real one. So this stylized cutout will do for now.

Safely Locked Away
Locks and combinations, I always forgot my numbers. So I switched to keyed locks instead. Seemed like the best alternative until I lost the key! =(

Southbound on Broad Street
These images were captured on the G2 with the LUMIX VARIO G 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. kit lens while driving down Broad Street on race morning.
Lost my sense of direction as I tried to navigate around street closures and stumbled upon the mural in the bottom image.
