In support of the current Occupation of Wall Street, I offer up a few scenes of where the action is now taking place. The whole neighborhood has tremendous architecture, a surprising and easy sort of intimacy, plus more style than your average highrise cityscape. Thing is, all the financial manipulation is going on behind the scenes, and that's what this admirable protest is all about. (Cheerful explanatory captions for these non-Panavision scenes accompany each color plate.) Go, protesters!

Way down there, past the Empire State Building, of course, lies fabled Wall St. and its adjacent lanes, all in a London-like maze.
