The Flamingo

Errand today to the post office meant I was in the plaza with the Calder on Friday afternoon. It was amazingly empty for almost rush hour during the holiday season. Hoping that means that people are doing what's necessary to get the surge numbers under control.
Thanks for putting my river scene on TT today! AND for your response to yesterday's ICM (Intentional Camera Movement).

Nice shot. How wonderfully that red shows up against the more neutral background. I was driving downtown today and noticed the lack of usual holiday shoppers as well. Fav
