walking men (and women too!)

I love when I run across a good public art project like Walking Men 99 by artist Maya Barkai.    This installation joins together 99 pedestrian traffic lights from cities across the world and wraps around 500 feet of wall at a construction site in lower Manhattan.

Of course, I had to take some shots of real live people walking by the fake traffic light people.  I wasted spent quite a bit of time doing that, and almost made myself late for work.

The traffic signals are all so diverse.  But while most of them are men, there are indeed some women...

And even a man helping a woman across the street---hey Belgium, this seems a bit old-fashioned and sexist if you ask me :)

Some traffic signals have horses and bicycles on them...

The sun was bright, so I was able to capture a photo to celebrate Shadow Shot Sunday...

And finally, a few black and whites, just because...

Whew, I know that's a lot of photo action, but if you made it to the end of the post I am glad you did because I want to tell you that I will be hosting my first ever giveaway here at Urban Muser tomorrow. It has something to do with my obsession with mobile photography. No, I am not giving away an iPhone, not even close, but be sure to stop back!  I used my iPhone to take this final shot below...

**ETA--the giveaway is now open, check this post for details by Friday June 10th!**

Happy Sunday everyone.  Linking up today with:
