The fire hydrant is killing me - never seen one like that, before.

The pink sweater on the dog is killing me, too - seems a bit cheery...

Once again, great shot, man...

it is a stand pipe. they are all over lower manhattan.
the fire dept pumps water from a hydrant thru a pumper truck to them to activate the hoses or the sprinkler system in the building.
nice subtle colors and good composition.

only blonde cockers have the confidence to wear a sweater like that! somehow the dog doesn't match the owner..cockers belong with older women (like me).... she should have some really hip dog on the end of that leash with a sweater to match her stockings.

Grrrreat shot - I love the combination of goth, and jovially dressed dog and (also jovially dressed) standpipe. Beautifully spotted!

Goths are great lens fodder, they've got such an interesting look. However, I reckon this girl is still in training. Years ago when I was a goth, it would have been a crime to be seen with a splash of colour. Maybe UK goths are stricter :)

I think she's stealing that dog, no way would she have put that festive sweater on her own dog. Maybe she has a plan to incorporate the dog into some kind of Goth ritual.
Great picture Lou.

Are you sure that this city still got its marbles? Worm-like hydrants with faces, dogs in sweaters, quirky people in quirky poses... amazing.

Stan-the-Stand-Pipe spends most of his days napping. He rouses from shut-eye only when canines approach, figuring if he gives them his big googly eyes, they might not lift a leg on him.

So many fun things to see here - dog, sweater, boots, tights, purse, leash, hydrant, cup, manikin, window decorations, pillar, doors, reflection of man walking - I LOVE it! "Circle the cup, Marcus." ;o)

Thanks for the wonderful comments, everyone! And thanks, endofalltime, for the great invivte!

She never noticed me, even when I went in even closer for some detail shots (which I discarded in favor of this one). But speaking of close range, you've got quite a few yourself. ;) It's a thrill, that's for sure!

I love how the dog's sweater doesn't quite match the owner, and that hydrant is classic.
