Icicles – It was a Good Day

The largest man-made icicle was 36’4.5″ (11.1 m) long and weighed 26 tons. These were only ~6″ and located about 3 meters from the sidewalk which made this shot very difficult. There’s something so dynamic about an icicle forged by transitioning a compounds matter between two states as a result of cold, then heat and cold again. Clear, sharp, frozen solid in motion, yet fragile and temporary in nature. I took maybe 30 shots and just couldn’t get the angle or focus right. Here’s a few pics I took near Kee’s Chocolates in SOHO:

Purple Rain

I’d say there’s less than .5% of NY residents that could afford a multi-head shower room but should I ever become one wealthy enough to throw money at this idea, I’d disco the hell out of it with RainSky waterfalls, 270 degree mirrors (you need the LED shower doors to remember which direction to exit) and LED changing shower heads (complete with remote, so the voyeur can change the mood for the shower participants at will). Showering partner is on your own.
