Lookin' Around My Neighborhood...

The beauty of the "Hood". If you don't look around, you'll surely miss it.

Being from Harlem, exposure to many cultures is so frequent that you really don't notice it. Some years ago, I noticed beauty in things that I'd missed as a child... The hills in Briarcliff Manor and Pleasantville, sunrises, sunsets, buildings and even people. If everyone were to take just a moment to look around and appreciate the beauty that surrounds them, the world would be a better place.

I took this photo on 104th Street & Lexington Avenue, the El Barrio section of Harlem... Better known as "Spanish Harlem". Aretha Franklin performed a song about this area. This work of art shows a typical summer day... The warm weather needs to hurry up and come back.

I just wanted to share this with folks.
