Photoblogging - Coney Island Boardwalk

This is probably my favorite photo from my NYC trip. The day we went to Coney Island was the same day as the Puerto Rican Day parade, and the young were out in force, all wearing bandanas, jerseys and hats sporting the Puerto Rican colors.

I was lucky enough to catch this young man as he turned back to look back along the boardwalk.

In my opinion, this is what America is all about, our immigrant cultures. Some of the young men I saw are probably third or fourth generation, and some's parents may have immigrated more recently. No matter. They were all young, energetic and unashamedly proud of their heritage, as they should be. We saw families, young couples, and some oldsters as well. All of them smiling and enjoying a summer day.

Delightful!!
