A Cat In A Cat Purse

May 23, 2012 Pic Of The Year
No comments

Our kitties are turning into preteens (in cat years).  As such, they’ve been hearing all about dog purses from the dogs that they see passing along on the sidewalk from their perches on the windowsill.  They’ve become fascinated by the whole concept of getting a purse for themselves to get carried around in it.  They’ve even been trying to get a purse to call their own, though they are limited in selection by way of having to choose from whichever purse our wife leaves lying around.

Though the King of Leon thinks he looks great and stylish in that purse, it is obvious that he still needs to master the art of being a cat in a cat purse.

London’s Triangle Tower

While in London, we couldn’t help but notice the new Herzon de Meuron designed triangular tower that is being built on the south side of London.  Though it is definitely an eye catcher and it looks epic.  It also looks WAY out of place.

This second shot is the view of the Triangle Tower from the top of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

It almost looks as if Dubai just pooped out an outcast tower that didn’t fit in over in the Middle East onto London.

New York’s Modern Day Stratagem

We get a kick out of seeing empty NYPD RMPs parked along the side of prominent streets and on vital bridges.  It gives the false sense of safety.  There aren’t officers around it, it’s merely an empty vehicle, parked to give the illusion of a larger police presence on the streets than there actually is.  The Allies used a similar technique during the Invasion of Normady in World War II, when they dropped lifeless dummies alongside the real life paratroopers to give the sense of a larger invasion.  It proved to be a wonderful scare tactic.

But whenever we see an empty cruiser like the one in this photo, we think of this tagline, “Empty NYPD cruisers, keeping our city safe since 2001.”

We swung past the World Trade Center yesterday to snap some photos for the site.  While there, we noticed that our perception of the Freedom Tower (a.k.a. 1 WTC) has changed from last month.  The building now looks enormous as it reaches up and touches the sky.

Wren Library

Life is an amazing series of twists and turns.  Never in a million years did we expect to find ourselves strolling around the private areas of  Cambridge University, let alone get to visit the Wren Library.

It’s simply one of the most beautiful and spectacular and awesome buildings both inside and out that we’ve ever come across.
