Movies are filmed all the time in the city. As I walked past Park Avenue, I saw these movie trailers. I don’t think there were any actors there yet because everything was quiet and empty. I think they just recently parked the trailers there. Normally you see the staff milling around, people coming and going, etc… No one was in sight this day.

All the tulip petals have fallen but I still thought this made a nice picture.

On Park Avenue, these men were hard at work. They furiously scraped the window bars and paid no attention to what went on around them. I couldn’t resist taking a photo.
