Why does a fox cross the street?

Because he has rabies?

And yes, there are likely foxes in downtown NYC. And coyotes. I wish I had a $1 for every time we received a phone call from someone who bought a house in a new suburb with a nice ravine lot and they now had foxes/skunks/raccoons/deer... in their backyard and they wanted someone to come and get rid of them. Oh well.

Anyway, it does have a fox, but it also has a street, and since the question of why the fox is crossing the street remains unanswered, I guess that makes it street photography. :-\

Because it was too lazy to jump over the quick brown dog?
