That the author of the blog Restless is a fine and artful photographer is no secret to anyone who follows the site. But the above image deserves special acclaim.

As anyone noticed the work being done at road level in Queensboro Plaza, specifically the arranging of broken up sidewalk flags on edge along the curb lines.
