The winter boardwalk is serene, it's special, unique and refreshing.  Chester is relaxing on the Coney Island beach and strolling on the boardwalk, dreaming of the summertime.  Tomorrow he'll be taking his first subway ride into the other amusement park, Manhattan, so he needs to gather his strength, recharge his batteries.  May the force be with him.

    I think Chester has met his match. You may be able to wear him out instead of vice versa. Love the pier shot.

    Having never been to Coney Island, I want to thank you and Chester for the grand tour. Look forward to seeing the two of you in action in the Big Apple. Crazy about the colors and fun in "Nathans Famous"

    No offense to Chester, but I'd like to see some of your photos not involving the cheese. You seem to have a great eye, I just find the cheese distracting (and I love cheese). I'm sure I'm missing the inside joke, so I mean no offense.

    BTW-GO GIANTS!

    Angie, Chester is the Photographica traveling icon. He is not an inside joke, he is much more than that.  He is the physical item that links the community of Photographica.  When I hold him in my hands I know that Pyro, smalls, EMF, BoyHidingInTree, SG and others have held him.  I feel their essence. I have given my word to post photos of him and as a knight of the round table, my word is my bond, or something like that.

    Oh, Pyro, save me from myself.

    Is Chester afraid of heights?  He looks sorta worried in the first one.

    No problem Angie.

    Thanks for your compliments on my photos.  I have been seriously taking photos for almost three years now and the Photogrpahica community has helped me tremendously to get to the point I am at.  I give all the credit to the members here, their book recommendations, their suggestions and their friendship.

    If you can find a Warriors vest for him you could use the Coney shots for this week's challenge.
