Avoiding the lines (and the people) on “Black Friday”

In the United States, the Friday after Thanksgiving has turned into the largest retail shopping day of the year…and I try to do everything I can to avoid the traffic, the people and the long lines.

Like many weekends when I’m not otherwise on the road, I’m spending this weekend out in Eastern Long Island, near Westhampton Beach, in a place and a time which at the moment appears to be oblivious to the shopping mania happening elsewhere around Long Island.

Below are a few photos I took at around 9am this morning:

VERY nice pics, Jeff. Thanks for sharing. Absolutely idyllic...and nothing like Paris at this -- or any -- moment. ;-)

Tranquility. Looks very much like my neighborhood two weeks ago. Now we have winter in Poland. Hugs, Ludwik
