Thu 7th Aug, 2008, Fantastic photos, Dali

The only livin’ boy in New York


LuciaM, one of the most active members of the Google Earth Community, sent me the photo above, which she’d taken while roaming around New York City — just some buildings near the intersection of MacDougal & Houston, she believed.

Then later she noticed something else in the picture besides the buildings and the rather forlorn-looking fellow sitting on the front steps.

Yes, as if offering the poor guy some reassurance, there’s Our Salvador, peering from a billboard advertising the “Dali: Painting and Film” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. What a surreal place.

    It occurred to me when contemplating your post that it looks like Sal has wormed his way into an Edward Hopper painting! All it needs is a bit of yellow overlay on the left end of the photo and a touch of blurring. :D

    best,
