I’ve taken about…

Ghost Train Station Then and Now…

Hmmmm…looks like a really weird mineral sample. The Museum of Natural History? It might even be malachite! (One of my favorite minerals. ๐ )
I have no clue, but it looks like hair on a statue. Can’t wait to learn where/what it is.
Chinatown??? some weird vegetables?? ๐
alien sexual organs? should be around the East Village then.
looks like malachite to me.
How did you get a photo of my refrigerator?
Hmmm…Looks like the MNH to me. Yes? no?
A form of coral? or anemone?

I’d have to say the mineral collection at the American Museum of Natural History.
sea asparagus ( http://www.mistymt.com/specialty/salicornia.shtml )? So maybe a grocery store like Whole Foods or something?
I think is a florist sponge. So in a flower shop.
Looks like the end of a steel cable from a suspension bridge or elevator that has been melted. Could it be from World Trade Center?
Rubin Art Museum – Statue of buddha
my first thought was a statue, but I went to the Met. But I can’t figure out of what because the photo creeps me out! Eeps.
