It was taken on September 11, 2010.
The accompanying photos were taken by Bath Beach shutterbug David Tan back in November – weeks before the holiday season got into full gear and people got wrapped up in the promise of a new year.
One features some fall foliage, while the other shows the importance of finding your niche.

When I first saw this photo – by the talented Mr. David Tan – and realized that it may be the single most attractive underside of a highway overpass ever seen, I imagined some rusticated voice chime in, “Best damn ramp in the state! Uh huh…”

Even in our increasingly digitized world, old Gutenberg and Bi Sheng would probably be pleased that so many readers still prefer words printed on paper rather than displayed on a glowing screen.
The accompanying image, captured by Bath Beach photographer David Tan, shows a store on the corner of 4th Avenue and 92nd Street over which the written word still rules.
