Phil, you need to get out of the office. (...like you never have heard that line before...) Very much like captures; 1, 2, 5 & 8. #1 & #2 are my favorites! In #1, you have a lot going there; photogenic lady (in Havana) wearing "stylish" New York Yankees hat, "CEDE EL PASO" ("YIELD") sign artistically positioned, "ÁGUILA" ("EAGLE") street sign with "ONE WAY" arrow, wonderful color contrast, graffiti, etc., etc. As soon as I saw #2, in a way, it reminded me of the "taqas", the small recesses or niches in the walls of the Alhambra in Granada, España (on a much smaller scale, the taqas in Granada, that is, which were used for water containers in which were utilized for washing hands, but also for drinking water).

..I hear that from time to time, unfortunately from my fellow co-workers...

But I'm more likely to hear "Get out of town."

This is my absolute favorite of the six captures. (#4 - Louis Vuitton store in background, entranceway into the ARIA complex) Very much like the; "light play", high perspective (2nd/3rd floor or maybe even the escalator), and the gentleman walking makes everything work.....well done!

Thanks - now if he had only been walking a meter or so to his right it would have been even better!

Just delivered pizza to a bunch of gents wearing NSM apparel, Make America Great Again hats, and waving confederate flags

Did they tip this driver?

I was wondering the same thing. Delivering pizza sometimes provides observational access to bizarre and curious scenarios. But as enriching as that may be for some, it doesn't help pay the rent.

This was in New Orleans last weekend (google Lee Circle monument), apparently a like-minded fellow from Texas ordered the pizzas to be delivered there, and yes I heard the tip was included.

In a perfect world, Phil.....in a perfect world.
