2015 CONEY ISLAND "MERMAID PARADE"

Saturday was a day for ducks (or mermaids) as the 33rd annual Mermaid 

Parade at Coney Island gathered under what started as inclement weather. It 

cleared and this annual celebration of outrageous costumery and all things 

nautical roared to life with classic fervor...

BERLIN- PART 2

                           It's hard to reduce a week's photo gathering to ten pix, so here's 
                                  a small add-on batch from our recent travels to Berlin.

                             of the Gestapo in the center of Berlin.
