Our first day in the big apple, and a shot of Times Square. There was an increased police presence that day, note the helicopter, little did we know that the Boston Marathon had been struck by terrorism.

I've been teaching Poppy photography, take a look at her Flickr.
I still have a few shots left over from when I went to Times Square to see the Manhattanhenge phenomenon so I guess I will put one up every now and then. Here's a look down 42ed Street and into the setting sun.
This is a 3 shot HDR image, done with Photomatix and then run through Photoshop.
The Toposcope at the summit of Worcestershire Beacon, also popularly known as Worcester Beacon, or locally simply as The Beacon, in the Malvern Hills. The summit is at a height of 425 m (1,394 ft) which makes it the highest point of the range of Malvern Hills that runs approximately 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border, although Worcestershire Beacon itself lies entirely within Worcestershire.
The Malvern Hills are a range of hills in the English counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and a small area of northern Gloucestershire, dominating the surrounding countryside and the towns and villages of the district of Malvern. The highest summit of the hills affords a panorama of the Severn valley with the hills of Herefordshire and the Welsh mountains, parts of thirteen counties, the Bristol Channel, and the cathedrals of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford.
The name Malvern is probably derived from the ancient British moel-bryn, meaning "Bare-Hill", the nearest modern equivalent being the Welsh moelfryn (bald hill). It has been known as Malferna (11th century), Malverne (12th century), and Much Malvern (16–17th century). Jabez Allies, a 19th Century antiquarian from Worcestershire speculated that 'vern' was derived from the British words 'Sarn' or 'Varn' meaning pavement or seat of judgement.
They are known for their spring water – initially made famous by the region's many holy wells, and later through the development of the 19th century spa town of Great Malvern, a process which culminated in the production of the modern bottled Malvern Water.
The Hills have been designated as a Biological and Geological Site of Special Scientific Interest and as national character area 103 by Natural England and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England). The SSSI notification has 26 units of assessment which cover grassland, woodland and geological sites. The site (The Malvern Hills SSSI (Chase End Hill)) is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS). Management of the hills is the responsibility of the Malvern Hills Conservators
Flint axes, arrowheads, and flakes found in the area are attributed to early Bronze Age settlers, and the 'Shire Ditch', a late Bronze Age boundary earthwork possibly dating from around 1000 BC, was constructed along part of the crest of the hills near the site of later settlements. The Wyche Cutting, a mountain pass through the hills was in use in prehistoric times as part of the salt route from Droitwich to South Wales. A 19th century discovery of over two hundred metal money bars suggests that the area had been inhabited by the La Tène people around 250 BC. Ancient folklore has it that the British chieftain Caractacus made his last stand against the Romans at the British Camp, a site of extensive Iron Age earthworks on a summit of the Malvern Hills close to where Malvern was to be later established.
J.R.R. Tolkien found inspiration in the Malvern landscape which he had viewed from his childhood home in Birmingham and his brother Hilary's home near Evesham. He was introduced to the area by C. S. Lewis, who had brought him here to meet George Sayer, the Head of English at Malvern College. Sayer had been a student of Lewis, and became his biographer, and together with them Tolkien would walk the Malvern Hills. Recordings of Tolkien reading excerpts from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were made in Malvern in 1952, at the home of George Sayer. The recordings were later issued on long-playing gramophone records. In the liner notes for J.R.R. Tolkien Reads and Sings his The Hobbit & The Fellowship of the Ring, George Sayer wrote that Tolkien would relive the book as they walked and compared parts of the Malvern Hills to the White Mountains of Gondor.
wookie in times square. one of the hundred costumed panhandlers in the crowd. times square. manhattan.nyc
It was pouring rain in NYC when I showed up at the Times Square, my shoes got soaked wet in about five minutes, but I was hoping to get some interesting shots of this famous place with some cool reflections. It is probably the busiest place in USA, the crowds never stop, morning or midnight. This rain actually helped with pushing most of them into the stores and off the street. The place is amazing!!!

Times Square Mural, 1994 (installed 2002)
Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923–1997) - porcelain enamel on steel
This is only a portion of Roy Lichtenstein's 6-foot-high, 53-foot-long mural which you can find in the Times Square subway station. It is a gift of the artist, a native New Yorker, to the city of New York. And it is more than just a kitschy picture. This bright, faux-comic pop art style panel represents a skyline view of a "retro-futuristic" New York City. If you click on the picture, you'll discover a space cowboy looking at the city skyline. But for better (and complete) pictures of the mural, check out www.nycsubway.org/perl/artwork_show?36. And to learn more about it, read www.lichtensteinfoundation.org/timesqmural.htm.

The Times Building is an art deco styled 12-story building located at 228 Holmes Avenue NE, on the corner of Holmes Avenue & Greene Street in the northern part of downtown Huntsville, Alabama. It's considered the first high rise in the city, and as one of the oldest buildings in Huntsville, it was first occupied in 1928, and served as the headquarters for the area newspaper of the same name (The Huntsville Times) until 1956. Since then, it has been used as office space for various businesses, and in 1980, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The city's 1st brewpub - Below The Radar - is situated along toward the RIGHT of this image, in the building proper, and off-frame.
