The very distinct 45 degree angle of the roofline of this 59 story tower located on Lexington between 53rd and 54th Streets is that of 601 Lexington, formerly known as the Citigroup Center and originally known as the Citicorp Center when it opened in 1977. So when it opened in 1977, 59 stories, 915 feet it was the seventh tallest building in the world, within its triangular top housing much of buildings mechanical equipment including window-washing gear that is cleverly concealed behind doors above the highest office floor 59. A nifty piece of equipment is 400 ton, yes 400 ton, tuned mass damper which is essentially is a 400 ton block of concrete that slides on a thin layer of oil whose inertia results in 40% reduction of the swaying of the building.

The New Jersey Meadowlands was actually once mostly a very larger forest of white cedars, particularly the area where today the Meadowlands Sports Complex sits and the areas south all the way to Kearny. The first white settlers in what are the Meadowlands today were primarily British merchants from Barbados, so for time during 1700’s, the meadows were known as New Barbados. The growing metropolis across the North (now Hudson) River, New York had an ever growing need for lumber, so many a lumberman live in the Meadowlands and the ravaging of Cedars for New York City was in full swing. The northern portion of the meadows, to the north of the sports complex was exploited for it clay that lied beneath the meadows, creating a vibrant brick-making industry from 1870-1950’s. The brickyards in the town of Little Ferry in 1895 at its peak produced one hundred million bricks. Those bricks contributed to building in New York City, Newark & Paterson NJ and Providence Rhode Island. As land barons looked to expand to build more housing, pig slaughterhouses and garbage dumps, 2/3’s of the meadows were landfilled, include the aforementioned Meadowlands Sports Complex. The industrial age used the meadow as a dumping ground until 1968 when the newly formed Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission(HMDC) was charted by New Jersey to put into place severe restrictions on what could be dumped into the rivers and meadows. This park Richard W. Dekorte Park which spans Lyndhurst and North Arlington allows visitors to walk around the meadows and view the wildlife that has returned as the waters have gotten cleaner because of concerned conservationist. In this image take at Dekorte park behind the water and phragmites is the New Jersey Turnpike I-95 and even further back the tall spires are New York City. iPhone 13 Pro Wide 26mm #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom #ihone13pro @mrri_njmeadowlands @visit_nj @newjerseyisntboring @apple @newjerseyisbeautiful

From 10 miles across the Puget Sound from Port Orchard Washington through the atmospheric haze is Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, a symbol of the Emerald City, was originally constructed for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle as its centerpiece. Very much a symbol of the Emerald City, it was inspired by the broadcast tower in Stuttgart Germany as Edward E. Carlson scribbled his idea on a napkin while in Stuttgart in 1959 calling it the Space Needle as Carlson was the chief organizer for the 1962 World’s Fair. The three-legged tower opened in April of 1962, first day of the Fair whose theme was the 21st Century. 62 years later, still one of the Emerald City’s biggest attractions plans have begun for a massive refurbishment. While only 10 miles across the sound, it’s over 60 miles driving around the Sound, down the peninsula across the Tacoma Bridge up to Seattle via automobile unless one catches one of the nearby ferries.

Located in Brooklyn New York City in the DUMBO section which faces the East River is the Robert Gair Company Power House, which at one time powered 8 buildings in this area that were built by Robert Gair at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Robert Gair, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, was born there in 1839, served the North in the American Civil War, fighting in the first Battle of Bull Run in Manassas Virgina. Gair had a very successful business in paper specialties in Chelsea Manhattan that was so profitable that he moved across the East River to Brooklyn. In 1870 an accident became the cardboard box, and once the first food company, National Biscuit Company (predecessor of today’s NABISCO) also located in Chelsea, Gair outgrew his space and moved to Brooklyn in 1888. In 1905, his cousin George and Henry Turner, of Turner Construction Company a relative newcomer proposed a new concept that Turner was looking for someone to partner with. It was reinforced concrete that Turner believed could be used to build larger buildings. Robert Gair decided to do it and first of 8 buildings was built on the Brooklyn waterfront between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges that today is DUMBO, but back then was actually referred to as Gairsville. The Power House image here is one of those reinforced concrete buildings of the many surviving ‘Gairsville’ buildings that still dot the DUMBO area.

Yes its back wall is sagging, but it’s still standing. This is the back of the Star Theater, a Cantonese Opera House who’s backend sits on Main Street in the California Delta Community of Locke. Locke was founded in 1915 and the Star Theater opened on the same year, a rare for the time-period 3 story wooden structure. The town of Locke now known as the Locke Historic District, came to be in 1915 built by Chinese immigrants from Heungshan [Xiangshan] County (modern day Zhongshan) from Guangdong Province, China. The historical significance of Locke is that it is the most complete example of rural, agricultural Chinese American community in the United States. Many of the founding residents came from families that were recruited to build the Central Pacific contribution to the Transcontinental Railroad. OM Systems Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark III Olympus M.

Sometimes the story and the beauty is in the details, growing up and spending most of my adulthood in the New York City area I found that structures often communicate via the details. I have found that to be the case in Northern California as well like this image of Free Mason’s badge on the former Free Mason Lodge in on the main street of Old Town Colfax California. The year 1854 does not denote when the lodge was built but rather the year the order was established in the area, half a mile south of Colfax in Illinoistown, thus this lodge was known as Illinoistown Lodge Number 51 of the Free and Accepted Masons.

The Fall Kill Creek running through Northern Poughkeepsie New York, captured while on an photo excursion organized by NYC Photographers Meetup group a few years back. The 38-mile-long Fall Kill Creek and Poughkeepsie relationship is intertwined throughout their respective history. Poughkeepsie dates back 18th Century after the land was purchased from Native Americans in 1686 by Englishman Robert Sanders & New Netherland born Myndert Harmense Van Den Bogaerdt. The city in 1836 averted disaster thanks to Fall Kill Creek when the fire department utilized the waters of the creek to douse the flames. Many industries, including Innis Dye Works, utilized the flow of the Fall Kill Creek for its labor in the Nineteenth Century. The water powered mills that ground corn & wheat until the Poughkeepsie Railroad bridge, aka todays Walkway over the Hudson was built in the 1880’s which changed the demand for industry. It was just used as a dump-way, until Dutchess County’s own FDR and his New Deal as President of the United States rehabilitated the waters ways, laying the brickwork & stonewalls you see in this image. However, the waterways once again during the 1960-1980’s were dumped in again but since the 1990’s a grass roots effort to restore has begun. iPhone 7 #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom #iphone7 @apple @iloveny @dutchesscountyny @poughkeepsie.ny #poughkeepsie #fallkillcreek #nyc_photographers

The golden dome of the New Jersey State House or Capitol has an interesting tale to tell. Its gold dome is made up of 48,000 thin 23.5 karat gold leaf imported from Florence Italy that measure 6” x 6”. Each sheet cost $1 at the time and the funds were entirely raised by New Jersey school children including my oldest daughter which is why I’m familiar with the tale. The New Jersey Statehouse located in the state capitol Trenton was built in 1792, making it the third oldest in the nation. The current dome and rotunda which is Renaissance Revival, was designed by architect Lewis Broome and completed in 1889. The original was destroyed during a fire in 1885. The dome which is made of cast iron with copper and gold leaf. 39 of the 50 United States Capitol have a dome.

Designed to be a mobile anti-tank gun that was self-propelled, small enough to be transported by helicopter or dropped by parachute, it was fielded with 82nd & 101st Airborne divisions. It saw combat during the Vietnam War with 173rd Airborne Brigade.

A New Jersey Transit light rail train departs the historic Broad Street Station in Newark New Jersey in the early morning. The historic rail station that dates back to 1903 when it opened after two years of construction to replace the first Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad station is the design of Frank J. Niles, an architect for the DL and W Railroad Company. Once used for passenger transport as far as Buffalo New York, with stops at Scranton Pennsylvania, the historic landmark is an operating multimode transportation hub for New Jersey Transit, with the pictured light rail street level as well as buses connecting to heavy rail above that take commuters to Penn Station in New York City. iPhone 5c #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @cityofnewarknj @visit_nj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #newjerseyisbeautiful @essexcountycommissioners #iphone5c @apple

The Winter Garden Atrium at Brookfield Place formerly One Financial Center where New Yorkers and visitors alike can sit amongst palm trees adjacent (across the street) from One World Trade Center. When the horrible events of September 11, 2001 occurred and both the North & South Towers of the World Trade Center Collapsed, the debris literally blew out all the glass panes of the Atrim. It was repaired & rebuilt and reopened in 2002.

Stunning Viking ship mural at Boehms Chocolate Shop in downtown Poulsbo Washington which was settled by a Norwegian in the 1880’s and then became a destination landing spot for Scandinavian immigrants since, referred to as little Norway, it is a charming little town with a delightful downtown with much Norwegian influence. It was named Poulsbo after a Norwegian village of the same name as the Olympic mountain range and the Puget Sound reminded the settlers of the fjords of Norway.

This building itself is not historic, but sits on the spot in Auburn California where once a Union Pacific station structure stood, which why the current structure is done in the standard Union Pacific color scheme and has the signage it has. The tracks adjacent to this structure are used by Amtrak and local California transit today.

The Great Falls in Paterson are always a delightful destination, the wonder of the cascading waters in a city that was a mecca during the industrial revolution but now struggles with the ravages of urban blight, a beacon in a one of New Jersey’s larger cities that has its challenges with crime and safety. Winter however is magical time at the falls, and unfortunately, the bridge that spans the chasm has been closed for a while as its integrity was deems to be unsafe for pedestrian traffic. Since the park is now under joint auspices of the National Park Service & the City of Paterson I’m sure there is a plan. This image was captured from the bridge, after a snowfall. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @patersongreatfalls #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43 @nationalparkservice

Directly across from One World Trade Center in New York City we find Brookfield Place formerly known as World Financial Center, with the setting sun reflecting on two of its four postmodern distinct towers designed by Cesar Pelli architect in this image from across the Hudson River in Exchange Place Jersey City New Jersey. When World Financial Center was built between 1983 and 1985 on the landfill that was excavated to construct the original World Trade Center Complex, the clean smooth lines of the four towers with distinct roof shape designs blended in well with the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center creating two vast complexes of square footage for office space. The attacks of September 11, 2001 that cause the collapse of the aforementioned Twin Towers, caused severe damage to this adjacent property, but the building did not collapse, but much restoration and re-engineering had to be done to the site including the rebuilding of the Winter Garden Atrium, a glass plaza where all four edifices connect that was completely destroyed.

The original Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church actually dated back to 1916 when it opened in a small row house that had served as a tavern. It stood at 155 Cedar Street until the tragic events of September 11, 2001 when the collapse of World Trade Center Tower 2, the South Tower, occurred. There was some debate on the final design of the replacement, negotiations with the state of New York and Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava design was ultimately chose, a beautiful design as can be seen in this image. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @stnicholaswtc @wtc @nybucketlist @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography

Very blessed & fortunate to be back east for second year in a row to join the New York Photographers Meetup group for their annual New York Holiday Photowalk accompanied by my damsel. Seeing my fellow photographers and friends, enjoying & photographing Christmas in Manhattan was delightful. Followed by a wonderful weekend visiting my loved ones.

If I named my images, I might call this photograph a full moon & three bridges, but alas I never give my images titles, but that description might be very apropos. It was a full moon at dusk that intersected the space that lies between the historic & iconic Brooklyn Bridge above and the Manhattan Bridge below with the venerable Williamsburg Bridge below the Manhattan Bridge with all three structures which are by the way three of the four major bridges connecting Manhattan to the outer boroughs bathed by the warm light of the setting sun. Taken from Pier 17 in Manhattan. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography #dusk #sunset @seaportmuseum
