Last on your NYC photo trip last week was the new transportation hub at the World Trade Center. An absolutely beautiful structure that looks out of place in NYC. When fully completed it is supposed to be a mall.
For my photography friends, no tripods allowed. Well I guess it depends on what time you are there and if a security guard looks the other way. For this image I was not so lucky. 1 guard said go right ahead with my tripod and another came over and yelled at us. I ended up taking this image handheld at 400 ISO.

This is not a picture of a painting. When I was in a museum in Rome, I was struck by how the light from the window on the left was striking the inside of the open shutter, decorated with the round framed portrait.
Techniek (bewerking):Oculus is het Latijnse woord voor oog. Het woord oculus blijft in gebruik in sommige contexten, meestal als de naam voor de cirkelvormige opening in de top van de koepel van het Pantheon in Rome, Italië, maar ook voor andere soorten ronde ramen (zie ook oeil de boeuf). De opening in het Pantheon is altijd open geweest voor het weer, waardoor regen binnenkomt. Deze valt op de vloer, waarna het meegenomen wordt met leidingen in de vloer. Ook schijnt er zonlicht door de opening heen. Hierdoor en door het omringende, zachte beton lijkt het op een oog, waar het zijn naam ontleent.

OCULUS - World Trade Center - New York City - USA

Oculus - The state-of-the-art World Trade Center Transportation Hub, completed in 2016, serves 250,000 Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) daily commuters and millions of annual visitors from around the world. At approximately 800,000 square feet, the Hub, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava, is the third largest transportation center in New York City.
This one I was facing SE, right as we were leaving. It was around 4:30PM, so the sun was about 180 degrees from me, giving the reflection you see. Once I processed the raw shot, I desaturated and left as-is.

I'm back from New York, and although it wasn't a photography trip, I still managed to sneak in a couple of minutes to snag a few photos.
This is the Oculus, a $4 billion, (yes billion) transportation hub in Lower Manhattan, which takes the place of the old PATH train station that was destroyed back on 9/11.
I wanted to show off the wonderful architecture while trying to convey just how many people pass through this space each day. It was pretty neat to take a minute and watch so many people just doing their daily thing. Thinking about if they're catching a train to work, or just getting off work and heading home or going to meet up with friends. Of the places I've been, New York is easily my favorite place to people watch.
Because there is a strict no tripod policy, I had to handhold this shot which proved a bit challenging to hold still while keeping everything symmetrical especially with people continuingly passing by, and an accidental bump here and there.
One World Trade Center (1WTC), now completed soars 1776 feet above Lower Manhattan.
A massive, fantastical construction is nearing completion, shown at the bottom of this picture. This is the "Oculus" of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. Designed by acclaimed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, this multi-billion dollar project will accommodate 200,000 commuters each day on 11 subway lines 60 feet below the surface. A massive, two story retail mall of fine shopping and restaurants will lie beneath the 150 foot high Oculus.
Calatrava's inspiration for this structure is the "freedom of a bird taking flight," the outward structure reminiscent of a bird's spread wings. However, it looked like the fossil spine of a dinosaur to me.
