Roger Waters – The Wall – Quebec
From the above video it appears that the grand finale in Quebec this past weekend of The Wall was quite spectacular (to put it mildly).

Roger Waters wraps up the The Wall Tour 2012 in Quebec
Tonight is the final performance of The Wall to be held on The Plains of Abraham (Les Plaines D’Abraham) in Quebec City. Will it be the last concert of Roger Waters ever? I don’t know. I hope not.
I wish I was going to be there. I took today’s photo of The Plains of Abraham from my hotel room in Quebec eight years ago. The river in the background is the Saint Lawrence (Saint-Laurent).
Rockefeller Center after dark in the rain
After the lightning storm in New York we ate dinner in Brooklyn with plans to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge back into Manhattan. However, the rain started again so the rest of the family called it a day and went back to the place we were staying in Spanish Harlem. I parted with them near the Rockefeller Center. I wanted to go up to the Top of the Rock for a view of New York in the rain at night, but it was closed due to the continued threat of lightning. Instead, I took a walk to Times Square. At the beginning of that walk I captured this image of part of the Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall reflecting in the fountain across the street on the corner of 6th Avenue and 49th Street.
Lightning striking New York City
Shortly after taking this photo that I posted a couple days ago, lightning started flashing all over the New York skyline. We were walking to the nearest subway station along the edge of Morningside Park when I captured this image of one of those lightning strikes.
West 120th Street, New York City
On the north side of the Columbia University campus there is a nice view of W 120th Street from this perch. I photomerged a half dozen photos, taken just before a summer lightning storm, to come up with the above image.
On the far left is The Riverside Church. Moving right from there is Union Theological Seminary, then Teacher’s College directly across the street, and to the right is Whittier Hall.

Curtis Granderson swings
The New York Yankees had the best record in Major League Baseball for the first half of the season. Can they do it again in the second half?
