July 2014 - Page SSSS
On this page, you will see photos taken in July 2014.  Photos were taken from my terrace,
of the construction over the Rego Center Mall, farms seen from bus on our way to
Shady Maple, at and around Strasburg Rail Road, on Governors Island, on a quick walk
of the High Line, and other miscellaneous shots.  Photos will be placed by category,
therefore they may not be in date order.
