In Downtown Manhattan lies that land of greed known as the financial district, where a large bronze bull stands defiantly on Wall Street. this is my view of the of the movers of and shakers who are responsible for so much greed and the sacrificing of enconomies for personal gain.
At the end of my day yesterday I was walking back through the district and turned up New Street towards the New York Stock exchange. I thought the street looked quiet, but hey it was pouring with rain. Next thing I knew there were two men with dogs and guns and I was challenged as to where I was going. Err East 34th Street.....This street is closed to pedestrians didn't you see the signs.......err no. Whats in your back pack?....My camera.......Open it! Empty it!..........I was then questioned, they took my details, and I was escorted back to the end of the street. And they didn't even say have a nice day!
When I turned round after a couple of minutes I saw figures moving in shadows, but I figured it wasn't a good time to take a picture...........or shout 'you paranoid bastards'!
