LOL

As the holidays are fast approaching, I took this as an opportunity to capture LOL-lots of lights! From the bright and shining full moon that hung over the Flatiron building, to the tree at Rockefeller center, there were plenty of bright images to be captured. The holiday window displays too were truly phenomenal as something as simple as a painted coffee cup could easily be Breakfast at Tiffany's (although the Tiffany's window displays weren't too shabby either, with gemstones that only a carousel horse could bear the weight of). 

Not a painting, but a sunset sky in Manhattan

The beautiful Rockefeller Center



and what a tree!






Who knew a tree so big could fit in a snowglobe


Some holiday decoration.




And some very large ornaments and lights that could only fit on a giant tree.




Lego store Paparazzi.


Radio City, truly spectacular. 


Uniqlo, the largest store on 5th avenue


Zara


These "haute" purses are actually candles.


Tiffany & Co. 




The gemstone that broke the horses back.


A giant Jadore bottle illuminated the front of Dior, with a twin reflection across the street.


A life-sized Kaleidoscope in FAO Schwartz.



And a Happy Chanukah, the world's largest Menorah across the street from the Plaza Hotel.

In This Fair City

 Wandering the city, there are many interesting events and images worth capturing to happen upon. On a beautiful fall day, who doesn't want to bear the weight of a cat on their shoulders.

Skateboarders at Columbus circle showed off their tricks to an audience of businessmen enjoying their lunch. 



 


Venturing into the park, less green and more color seems to be predominant to truly signify a changing season. 








Some interesting sculptures along Broadway by artist Peter Woytuk provided great models too.  And in a city that is constantly changing, one thing that will never change is the moon above. 







Another interesting sighting was all the way to the left of the Empire Statebuilding; something brighter than a star; a planet peeked it's way through the bright lights of New York. A huge planet looking so small next to the once tallest building in the world.
