The Seasons Of Central Park

My good friend Dave Rimington is working on a very nice gallery of photos from Central Park that I just had to share with you. You can view the original gallery at full size here.

This is a view of the Hudson River and New Jersey from the 40th floor of the Hearst Tower at 57th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. You can see the outside of the building during my recent Midtown Walk video podcast.

New York Minute Show follower Andre from Germany was nice enough to send me a bunch of wonderful panoramic city shots like this one taken at Top Of The Rock looking south with the Empire State Building in view. Click here or on the photo to view the full set.

Lights Of The Season

For the first time in recent memory the Empire State Building was dark yesterday evening. The top of the building is always lit from nightfall to midnight. Then I realized that it was probably due to the funeral services for President Ford. The color scheme at the top of the building changes quite often due to holidays and special events. You can check the schedule here.

I just love watching the lights flick off at midnight. That’s the New York geek in me I guess. I’m also a big fan of Christmas lights. We made sure to walk our neighborhood often during this Christmas season so my daughter could check out the lights.

The picture above shows the Empire State Building from the New Jersey side of the Hudson River during one of our walks. Click the image to see more photos taken by my wife on that night. Frankly, the Christmas lights in my old neighborhood in Queens put the folks in my new neighborhood to shame ;).

I Will Not Forget

The year was 1973. It was the first day that the World Trade Center was open for tourists to view the city from the observation deck. My Mom took my brothers and me to the top of the towers. What a view, let me tell you. We took a few photos that day and thanks to my scanner I was able to preserve them.

I have my own story of Sept. 11th. The people I knew who were lost and the people I knew who were scarred by the trauma. To quote Bono, “There’s been a lot of talk. Maybe too much talk.” For now I’ll just say that I will not forget.
