All you need is LOVE
One of the "staples" that stand out in the streets of Manhattan is this giant "LOVE" sculpture by Robert Indiana on the corner of 55th and 6th Avenue (also known as Avenue of the Americas). It's right by the corner of the bus stop where I wait for the express bus home whenever I take it from the city, and I've always found it amusing to watch the tourists who stop by and take a picture with this NY (and Philadelphia) icon.
I find it heartening to see total strangers passing by offering to take pictures of the tourists who take turns behind the camera. Or how groups or pairs of tourists would offer to take each other's pictures. Alan and I have done that before ourselves, and I have made offers to take pictures, too. As I have often repeated here, I'm the perpetual tourist here in my home state -- and I know how it feels to roam a place you're trying to visit and want to take pictures to keep the memories.
This is actually my second attempt to take pictures from behind the glass on the bus stop, but the first set was left behind in the camera that got stolen in the water park. ( *sniff* ) But life goes on..
You'll be seeing more of these...
