On Gotham City and a Rupert Update

Photo by myself in Times Square, at 42nd Street and Broadway.

The lights and movie billboards in Times Square make for easy photos. Huge signage for the Batman movie loomed above the typical crowds of people.

Billboards were layered against different types of glass on one of the modern towers. The trusses holding the building up can be seen through the glass.

I walked through this area on Wednesday night. We'd had heavy rain in the morning and it was still very humid after work.

I'm not sure whether it registers to New Yorkers that the Gotham City in the Batman movies is our fair city? The term 'Gotham' is used only occasionally and only in the press. People don't mention 'Gotham' in typical conversation.

--My fiance Mark is still in LA until this weekend, where he's finishing up a project for work. While we were away last weekend, our dog Rupert was being cared for by his dog sitters.

Daily Photoblogger Rose from Oz asked what New Yorkers do with their pets when they travel. Most board their dogs, have walkers come by or even leave their pets with friends.

Rupert and I had a nice reunion Tuesday night. He was very hungry and romped for an extended time, playing fetch, his favorite game.

Here's a recent photo of him with his buddy Duchess, a border collie, in Prospect Park. They had just romped around and look happy as a couple clams.
