Picture This #275 ~ Candid Strangers

Fortune Teller ~ Union Square, NYC


Lovers' Spat at Union Square.


Was aiming at the girl who was walking with her arms over her head ( For two blocks or so) but surprised the guy who turned and saw the camera aimed in his direction. He looks none too pleased. Central Park at 76th Street, NYC.

Relaxing at Union Square Park, NYC.

Hi Debby! I wonder what that fortune teller was telling her client..... perhaps nothing particularly joyful.Like to see the woman's hand placed on that ball that apparently is not made out of crystal glass.Nice shot of the pair of lovers... thanks for explaining details about the third shot... something ike that often happens when we try to take candid photos.... love to see the pigeon (symbol of peace) by the young guy relaxing at the Park...

Loved the fortune teller. Arguing with the girl won't get the guy a kiss. Loved the last two shots as well.

Hi Debby!! Great selection of shots for Baz's theme. I really like the first shot. I'm sure the fortune-teller is saying something about a great future for the woman, but a caption sprang to mind when I first looked at it (typically my daft sense of humour) "No, that's not the crystal-ball you are holding, that is my apple for lunch" LOL. Love the second shot, you really captured the emotion of the moment. And judging by the look n her face, he isn't being forgiven just yet!! I like the surprise element of the third shot. The guy in the last shot looks really relaxed. I wonder if he'd wake up if one of the pigeons walked on him :-))

Rules For Weekly Challenges

The rules are similar to when Picture This was on Multiply, with a few differences. As always, please post a maximum of three photos each. The Picture This page on Blogger is optimised for image size 640 x 480, so please try to post images NO LARGER than this to avoid distorting the page or overlapping onto the right-rail. Blogger has a storage limit for photos uploaded directly to the site, so please use copy/paste of HTML from storage sites such as Flickr or Photobucket as much as you can. Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not allow posting of images in comment boxes, so anyone taking part should put their photos, along with any accompanying text, in a separate post here on the PT main page, making sure the challenge number and theme are in the title line. Please note that the posts will appear in reverse order. After the host has posted the challenge, all contribution posts will appear above it on the main page, so you will have to scroll down the main page to find the host's post.

Challenge Albums & Flickr

Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not have facility for photo albums, so Picture This now has it's own associated Flickr account, where albums will be uploaded to . Once on Flickr, they will then be cross-posted to Blogger (all of this part is done by the admins, just like the albums were on Multiply). Each challenge album will appear on it's own tabbed page, along with a Flickr slideshow of the album. The cross-post only shows the first 24 images as thumbnails, to see the whole album, either watch the slideshow, or click on the little blue link between the thumbnails and the slideshow. Only the most recent three challenge albums will show on tabbed pages, to see earlier albums, you will need to go to the Picture This Flickr page. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FLICKR PAGE. Our Flickr account has tight copyright controls, so your photos are as safe as on your own Flickr page.
