Three religious books – from left, an Olive Pell Bible (a condensed version of the King James), a self-pronouncing Bible once presented by a Masonic lodge, and a Book of Common Prayer – were found on display Saturday (May 5, 2012) at a flea market in Limerick PA. The seller had several tables piled with materials offered to the public, but it was evident the books were purposely separated from that lot and positioned on the lavender, satin-looking cloth.

A field of supports for a former pier stretch out into the distance of dark and murky water that is the Hudson River in New York City NY. The wooden timbers, installed decades ago and now weathered with age and battered by storms and waves, are one of many sights offered to visitors who travel the city’s paved and patrolled Hudson River Walk on foot, by bicycle, roller skates or skateboard. Far off, behind the supports, is the New Jersey sky- and shore line. (April 7, 2012)

Two pedestrians pass Thursday (April 26, 2012) in a crosswalk on a corner of York Street in downtown Gettysburg PA, with only eight seconds remaining – as seen by the countdown timer at left – until the traffic signal turns against them. They seemed in no hurry to beat the light.
