beautification


[click on picture to enlarge - taken via iPhone]

So many people are working hard at maintaining this crazy city and keeping the parks that we enjoy so pretty pretty pretty...
This gentleman is doing just that in Bryant Park And with a huge smile. His green clothes blending into the landscape.

In a few days he'll be holding a leaf blower (I hope!)

Looks like you've been having wonderful weather lately.

•jd: like magicians, they work in the dark oblivious to everybody.
•photo-effe: glad you like this slice of life.
•claudine: en effet - d'autant qu'il travaille en silence et s'excuse s'il vous fait bouger d'un pouce.
•fénix: I hope not!! I am against those horrible noise machines. In the spirit of full disclosure, this picture was taken over a month ago. But we've had some really wonderful days lately. Like you guys had this w.e. and yesterday. Must be so great to enjoy your pretty city under those clement temps. :)

there's a huge contingent cleaning up Singapore too, to keep it nice and clean.

sometimes we become too reliant on them. :-(

•ming: looks like he will have less to do: they have just installed the ice rink!! Boo-hoo, winter is nearer... :(
•keropok yes indeed. I think it is nice to take the time to acknowledge the great work they are doing in the shadow. There's a very nice campaign about it (note to self: take pics of it) in the fashion district.
