Stampede
New York, NY, November 2009
Zach and I had walked 24 blocks up 5th Avenue to see this place, Apple's flagship retail store. Since he inherited my admiration of all things related to this fruit-themed tech company, it seemed natural for us to make the trek and drink in the experience of this place.
Of course, 24 blocks is a tough sled for anyone. Worse when you consider the need to walk another 24 blocks back to where we started. So both of us were pretty tuckered out by the time we got there. But not too tuckered out to enjoy the sight of hordes of fans descending the glass staircase under the ginormous glass cube. Say what you want about Apple, but this is a company that understands how to make memorable experiences whether you're using its products or visiting one of its stores.
Your turn: Thematic Photographic's theme this week is "feet". No, I'm not sure why this is so. I guess I was feeling cheeky. Participation is simple: Post a similarly themed pic on your blog, then pop back here and paste the link into a comment. Repeat as often as you wish. For more info on how TP works, click here.
Walking 24 blocks? That's one mean feat.
ReplyDeleteA one legged man in an arse kicking contest? That's one mean foot.

It took a long time to go 12 steps. They were just inching along.

I never metaphysical I didn't like.
Terrific shot, Carmi. I love that you look up from beneath the stairs. Too many people don't and look at what they miss.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Fred Penner's song, "Happy Feet"!
ReplyDeleteGeez, what's the big deal about 24 blocks? That's life in Manhattan! You don't even think about transportation alternatives if it's under 30 blocks (unless you're carrying a ton of stuff)!
ReplyDeleteLoving this theme. Love little feet!

That's a really great photo. I'm not at all sure that I have a "feet" photo anywhere in my collection so I may have to pass this week - or take some, just as soon as the Christmas rush is over (being almost a day ahead of you here in New Zealand)
ReplyDeleteGREAT theme!!
ReplyDeleteHow Beautiful the feet...
That's no small feat
ReplyDeleteI bow to you sir. That? Is one, very cool photo. Love.It.
