On the Job-Union Square again

Once again, I find myself in the Union Square area whilst on the job. Its a very nice spring day in the city. One of those days where its nice to be outside to bask in the sunlight without being nuked by the harsh sun. The sounds of roadwork embattle the ears. Visions of pedestrians and tourists fill ones field of view. The overall sense of calm is very easing. This open area is used for many purposes. In the winter, and outdoor ice rink is erected and the area decorated in holiday flair. though no major festivals are held here, small gatherings for specific events or purposes do arise on occassion. This place is also known to be a rallying point for protesters and those pushing their agendas.

On this fine fine day, artists were out in one corner of the plaza with their talents on display. Umbrellas help shade themselves and their artworks from what will become an unbearable onslaught of UV rays
