Photo by myself in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, around 55th Street and Eighth Avenue.
It's been raining for the last several days here in New York. I took the above photo last year, when lichees came in season.
This juicy, Asian fruit is harvested each Fall. The fruit is encased in a green shell, which grows red as they ripen. Lichee has a subtle flavor that is not too sweet.
Speaking of food, it's been tough during the off-season of Top Chef.
Curious to see what's going on with the ex-contestants? A recent article in the Times catches up with Hung, Leah, Nikki and Harold, all pursuing their cooking dreams in New York.
I suggested going to Harold's restaurant to Mark, who was only mildly interested. Harold competed during Season One, whose Italian-inspired food and self-deprecating demeanor won over judges and fans alike.
Hmph!

Great photo - looks nice and summery. Can't wait for the sun to come out so we can get some nice rich color again!
Great B&W photo with a lot of atmosphere.
another great and expressive New York Portrait!
Props!
I grew up eating these, so yummy.
mmm Lichees! I love the taste but unfortunately they are quite the texture issue for me. Great photo!
