day 13: new york and family


after a beautiful bike ride through central park, a rest break was much needed. this is a shot from the fountain in columbus circle. possibly one of my most favorite places to go and sit next to sheeps meadow. I've seen a wide range of strange people and strange scenes, this one is pretty common but i was struck by how much these kids looked like a family of friends, just sleeping in the middle of a fountain in the middle of a city. then i got to thinking about how sometimes, this city has a way of really reminding you about how lonely your life is, and that no matter your circumstances.... its nice to have a little family. i'm glad these kids have each other as family. but really i hope they find some place warm and dry to sleep tonight.
