"Counterfeit Handbags, Canal Street, 2016" Photo by Lee Yee. http://www.leeyeephotography.com/ Selling counterfeit designer handbags to tourists, Canal Street, NYC, 2016.  Several Canal Street blocks, abutting on Chinatown, are an established ad hoc street market for black market and counterfeit goods. Contrary to NY urban legend, it's not aganst the law to buy such goods, only to sell them.

"This world is but a canvas to our imagination." ~ Henry David Thoreau http://www.leeyeephotography.com/ "Marsh Pool, Undisclosed Location, NYC, 12 Nov 2016," photo: Lee Yee    

Located in a vast marshy wood. Difficult to access, deeply overgrown and nearly impassable, even on foot, so we never saw another human soul all day...just a family of deer. On some maps, but only if you know where to look.
