On the Boardwalk


On the Boardwalk, originally uploaded by ujima.

I stayed at Caesar's Atlantic City 10/31 to 11/2. November 1st was sunny and bright. After an excellent breakfast, I walked the boards for 30 minutes and then sat on a bench and talked to people and watched the passing scene on the Boardwalk: the people, the walkers, the modes of transportation, the filthy birds.
