little town

fall is here, and the crazy weather that comes with it. this weekend was full of surprises, strange gusty winds and then sunny moments, and then gray skies and pouring rain. made for an interesting walk. i went out for a while on saturday and tried to re-discover my little town{borough} like i was a visitor. just riding the subway and looking out the window {when it goes above ground} can be a beautiful experience. i took some more "drive by" pictures as i did when i was visiting my family, except they were out the subway window instead of a car window. i think the rain makes everything look more interesting and colors pop more. looking at this picture, i feel like it could be in another country, not just out my back door.

i am very inspired by these photos from lying with the wolf. they are hauntingly beautiful. i love the muted colors. they all feel sort of black and white with one other color thrown in. this one is my favorite. or this one.
