365. My Own Theme 48 ~Pathway~

I’m imagining this pathway leads to the beginning of a fabulous, creative photo journey through 2010.

Congratulations to everyone who began the Challenge and to those who completed the Challenge. It was a laborious undertaking and just beginning it was a significant accomplishment.

I’ve learned so much this past year and want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments. I couldn’t wait to see everyone’s awesome postings each day even though I wasn’t able to comment on them toward the end. It was evident how far everyone came in their photography. I’ve ‘met’ so many kind and generous people and think how fortunate I was to have been able to interact with all of you.

I’m looking forward to our new, less stressful challenge.

Wishing everyone a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year and a wonderful walk through 2010!

This is one of the wooden escalators at Macy’s New York. They date back to the store’s opening in 1902 and are believed to be the only still-operating, wooden escalators in NYC. They are VERY cool! HERE’S some really interesting info about them and other unique and surprising places in “Forgotten New York.”

So, Santa brought me a wonderful computer virus for Christmas! I can’t access any programs or applications, including Photoshop : ( and it’s hit or miss if and when I can post. Luckily I can get on the internet using Firefox but windows and IE are shot. And with only 5 days left for goodness sake!!! If I have signed and processed photos, I’ll post them if my computer will let me. It’s going in to be fixed on Monday….hopefully it’s not that complicated. Hope everyone had a great Holiday!

Built in 1872, this school is believed to be the fifth one erected on Paramus Reformed Church ground. From 1730 to the 1870s, education was carried on by the church. Rented to Ridgewood Township, it became District School No. 45 from the 1870s to 1905. Since April 23, 1955 it has housed the museum of the Paramus Historical and Preservation Society.
