Second Place - Color Prints 
Shades Valley Camera Club - August 7, 2008

A thick January morning fog covers the west side of Manhattan. From an apartment window, 51 stories up, one can see the dirty fog below and the blue sky above. Yellow taxis, with other vehicles, creep along Amsterdam Avenue heading uptown.

In 1808, John Randall, Jr. laid out the plans for New York City's street system. He designed a gridiron system of north-south avenues crossed at right angles by east-west streets. His gridiron spanned the area of east Houston Street to 155th Street. This system is still in use today.

Built in 1846, Trinity Church is Manhattan's oldest public building in continuous use.
 
When consecrated on Ascension Day May 1, 1846, the soaring spire, surmounted by a gilded cross, dominated the skyline of lower Manhattan. Trinity Church stood as a welcoming beacon to ships sailing into New York Harbor. 

Alexander Hamilton is buried in the Trinity Church cemetery, having been killed in an infamous duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. Robert Fulton is also buried in the same cemetery.

The most common food at the medieval castle table was bread, coarse and unattractive. Bread was used to mop up the astonishing amount of grease used in medieval cooking of meats and vegetables. Therefore, hands and faces were covered in grease during meals. The Ewerer, a servant, brought heated water to the table for the nobles to wash their hands and faces during meals.

Everyone carried his or her own knife, the essential tool for eating. After the meal the knife was wiped clean and sheathed. There were no forks, only spoons were used.
