If you look closely, you'll see lots of black specks on those white petals .. this is genuine Manhattan air pollution -- soot -- the same crap that coats the insides of your lungs and tries to kill you with every breath you take.

Lovely flower pics! Loved the rose, sorry some crazy person yelled at you. Ignore such party poopers, I say! Also loved the pansy pic. Very pretty. :)

So if the Manhattan air pollution is killing you with every breath you take. Why do you stay there?
For whatever reason....isi it worth it?
