The new World Trade Center (WTC) Transportation Hub or Oculus is the design of Santiago Calatrava with an interior the exceeds the cavernous Grand Central Station on 42nd Street. The post 9-11 World Trade Center site is more of a cacophony of designs, whereas the original World Trade Center had a design theme. Certainly the strangest design is Calatrava’s Transportation Hub which can evoke awe to some and to other well as I’ve stated before, it appears to be a cross between a porcupine and a stegosaurus. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotoweek @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamrac @tiffen #usaprimeshot @nycurbanism @nybucketlist @nycprimeshot @911memorial @_wtcofficial #oculusnyc

Echinacea purpurea, the eastern purple coneflower at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village in New York City. Frequently adorning the Park and much of the city, captured when in NYC a few weeks back. Over the last 2 decades, I’ve captured so many images of coneflowers in many spring gardens and parks in New York City and New Jersey, so I was delighted to see some left in the late spring early summer. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography #olympus

The morning of my departure back home out west walking through the new and very nicely done terminal B at New York’s La Guardia Airport, I stepped up the heating/cooling grates to eliminate some (not all) of the lighting reflections to capture the eastern sky as the sun rose. A wonderful cacophony of warm tones in the skies. Spent a sweetie me more time with my girls and folks getting my bi-annual check up with my surgeon unfortunately bringing back an unexpected stow away, what appears to be a strain of pain influenza virus, been laid out for 3 days…- [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone13pro @apple @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @lgaairport @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist #sunriselover @kehcamera
The fourth tallest skyscraper in New York City for now as something is coming to that Central Park tall corridor that will eventually push it down one position is the One Vanderbilt which from this perspective is not visible but is adjacent to Grand Central Terminal as captured from Bryant Park just shy of 42nd Street. An interesting structure that drew much protest that former Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to change the strict Grand Central corridor air rights to allow this and other buildings at the end of his last term in 2013, the local residents, preservationist and politicians strongly opposed so Mayor Bloomberg withdrew his rezoning petition. It was his successor Mayor Bill de Blasio who finally worked the compromises despite strong resistance and opposition from the Historic District Council and Society for Architecture of the City by getting the builder to include 210 million dollars towards transit improvements to sweeten the pot. I have still not been up to its summit called ironically The Summit a unique series of high observation viewing area with amazing views, had a young friend and his fiancé share some lovely images, viewing images online/social media has piqued my curiosity, maybe be considering doing visit to the Summit at sunset on one of my trips back east to see my daughters, parents and specialist. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @one_vanderbilt @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot #nycprimeshot @nybucketlist #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
The over the top Christmas lighting in Brooklyn neighborhood of Dyker Heights began in the 1980’s when a Ms Lucy Spata moved into Dyker Heights and decorated her house like her mother did, which was to basically light every corner of the house. It eventually caught on as I stated in earlier post today there are tour companies that will take you to the neighborhood so you can meander and view the amazing Christmas decorations. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras @apple #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot #nycprimeshot @nybucketlist @dykerheights_christmaslights

If you have never been to Dyker Heights during the holiday season and you live in New York City or in New Jersey, you will be amazed at the spectacular Christmas decorations that the mainly residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of Brooklyn do every year. There are actually paid tours that take tourist to see the light in Dyker Heights every year! Still time to see it you are close and haven’t but I hear a nasty cold storm is going to hit my family and friends up in the northeast for Christmas so the priority is to stay safe and warm this Christmas weekend! - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist @dykerheightschristmaslights #christmas
The Peninsula Hotel at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street is an 18 story structure the opened in 1905 as the Gotham Hotel directly across the street from the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. Over the years the hotel has been closed, foreclosed when its owner took his own life in his own apartment in the Gotham Hotel itself. Beautiful architectural detail very common of the edifices built during that era particularly because of its proximity to Central Park. In this image done up for the holiday with seasonal exterior lighting. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 @kehcamera @thepeninsulanyc @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist

The building with the lit-up top is the Woolworth Tower is located downtown in Manhattan across from City Hall Park on Broadway between Park Place and Barclay Street. Five-and-dime millionaire Frank W. Woolworth commissioned this building named after himself in 1910 a year following the MetLife Tower open its doors as the tallest building in the world. Woolworth wanted his namesake to have that honor, being the tallest building in the world. He worked closely with his architect MIT educated Cass Gilbert to achieve his goal expanding the cost from the originally estimated $5 million to $13.5 million dollars that he financed totally with cash, no loans or help from developers. It was his baby basically his financial input giving him an unusual degree of control over design and construction. When it opened in April 1913, sitting US president Woodrow Wilson pressed a button in the White House that lit up the interior floors and the innovative exterior floodlights, the building was given the moniker “Cathedral of Commerce” by Reverend C. Parkes Cadman which has endured until today. The Woolworth Tower is 792 feet tall, 60 stories tall easily the tallest building in the world at its opening and the second tallest structure after the Eiffel Tower. Cass Gilbert’s granddaughter was giving small groups tours pre COVID 19 pandemic. Next time I’m back east I need to check if she has resumed, would love to tour this classic Art Deco tower which got a new lighting scheme and now is literally getting buried by new taller skyscrapers that surround it. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist

The rare occasion where traffic is of benefit, while traveling back from east coast last month on the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx I looked out my window to the west and saw this. The Highbridge is the oldest standing bridge in New York City (sorry Brooklyn Bridge) opened in 1848 as part of Croton Aqueduct that was the first reliable source of fresh water for the then burgeoning metropolis and in the background is the HighBridge water tower also part of Croton Aqueduct. It connects south Bronx with northern Manhattan and when it opened served as a
walkway between both. Although the half closest to Manhattan has been replaced with a large steel arch which is visible in the picture this part I captured on the Bronx side still has the Romanesque stone arches which is what inspired me to capture a few images from this vantage point. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone13pro @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @apple @mpbcom @new.york.city.parks @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nycity__ig @nybucketlist #highbridgepark
John D. Rockefeller the mastermind behind Rockefeller Center the development to build the city within the city during the depression, the massive project employed in excess of 40,000 people a real boon to the economy of New York City. 30 Rock boasts an impressive grandiose Art Deco lobby that must be seen, a lot of people just go to see the tree and never venture inside or just rush to the rest rooms which are inconveniently or maybe intelligently ( hey it gets you to walk in and by the establishments) located in the underground retail complex. The artists whose artwork decorates the lobby were accomplished European artists Frank Brangwyn and José Maria Sert and their masterpieces are beautiful. This image captured a few weeks back while at Rockefeller Center for the center’s Mexico Week & El Día de Muerto of 30 Rockefeller the tallest structure of the complex which had circular spot light shone on it as part of the Mexico Week celebration. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @rockefellercenter @nycurbanism @nybucketlist @nycprimeshot #nycprimeshot #microfourthirds #omd #m43photography
I spent a wonderful evening with my oldest daughter and generally I try to avoid the crowds that gather in the crossroads of the world, i.e. Times Square but my daughter had to stop at her daytime place of employment which is there in Times Square. Very proud of my dear daughter and while I waited for her I snapped off some frames, always interesting to see how the former Longacre Square evolves, certainly many more displays since my last time there, another skyscraper in the location of a theater, though my daughter tells me the new edifice will include a theater. Obviously, the year on the New York Times tower which hasn’t housed the Times in a very very long time has the year 2022 as the new year was three weeks away. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist @iloveny @timessquarenyc #omd #microfourthirds #micro43
One World Trade Center as seen looking south from Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village on Thompson Street. At 1776 ft the building that was going to be the ‘Freedom Tower’ is a visual marker for all wandering downtown Manhattan to get their bearings. It is an impressive skyscraper whose safety and security design had input from Department of Homeland Security, New York City Police Department, Port Authority Police Department and private security firm hired by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to make it one of the most secure and safe buildings in the world. In fact the building is not in the original location in the first renderings of the ‘new’ site as the design team was made to move the building in further to allow as defensible perimeter. Then Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2004 laid a 20 ton slab as it cornerstone with the inscription “the enduring spirit of freedom”, construction began in 2006 and it opened in 2014. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_américa #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @nycurbanism @nybucketlist @wtc @nycprimeshot
