The view from the top of the World Trade Centre south tower outside on the observation deck across to the north tower.
I took this photograph on my trip to New York City in May 1996 and It's one of my most treasured possessions. After the events here on September 11th 2001, I look back on my visit to the center as one of the most humbling experiences of my life.

On the corner in Times Square, no one seemed to want to take this guy up on his offer for a ride!
Just a few more NY shots, I will probably post a few more tomorrow!
Thanks for the visits and comments on this NY series guys, I really appreciate all the critiques and comments!
If you have a second, it is worth a second to take a look at it large!

The famous skyline of Lower Manhattan in New York City, taken from a Liberty Island transfer vessel.
The "One World Trade Centre" at the 9-11 memorial site, stands in replacement of the twin towers which were destroyed on that fateful day in 2001.
Trying to churn out some more images from my trip in New York. I actually called this preset I made "My New York", which I think it's cool, although it's a little different from the last New York shot I put up.
My time spent on my leave is not going so well planned. My room is only 15% packed, which is disastrous taking into consideration that I was hoping to have done most of it by now.
To make things worse is that I think I have misplaced my flash drive, which is driving me insane because I remember putting it away safely. I am hoping really hard that I didn't accidentally throw it away in the middle of all the cleaning up. It sucks because it's by mimobot and those don't come easy to replace. Please send some good vibrations this way and hopefully I'd find it tomorrow morning.
Everyone is talking about 2010 and how there is only one day left in 2009. Someone even asked me about my resolutions, but I'm afraid I am not one to believe in making resolutions in the sense that I don't see a point in making promises to oneself that the likelihood of keeping remains at zero. But maybe that's just my ill-discipline.
One thing I'll try to do for this year though, is to stay faithful for 365. Do I hear some support for that?!
"Rain" by Patty Griffin - Listen here!
A cold and sometimes drenching rain in no way dampened the spirits of dancers who came from all over New York City to express their passion for the expression of one's self through dance.

"Take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow."

First off I have to thank my dear flickr friends Rainprel aka Yen and Kenny for the kind testimonials they wrote for me! Yen is a master of blue hour photography and Kenny is a master of color. If you have a second, please visit their streams!
This is from our trip to New York last summer. I wanted to get a better shot of the Mall in Central Park, but we were kind of on a time limit! I like this shot though, it has a lot going on a family, a couple with a map, and just shows the hustle and bustle of Central Park!
Oh, and the Pens lost last night in 3 overtimes! It was like they played a whole other game! The games normally last a little over two hours, and last night it lasted 5!!! Hopefully we will close the series out on Saturday in Ottawa!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

The latest work in a series of paintings and drawings inspired by drawings of a favourite view of 6th Avenue, New York City, made on location from the edge of Central Park, Central Park South in 2010 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley .
Amongst the amalgamation of classic and contemporary architecture can be seen Radio City Music Hall & the triangular tip of Bank of America .
The artist has an abiding affection and fascination with the USA & his press includes the New York Times & TIME magazine; which published his portrait tribute of Barack Obama in 2008.
Many Americans, who make up the majority of Whatley's collectors, discover his work from the permanent art exhibit of the series of 30 paintings he was commissioned to paint for Her Majesty's Tower of London in 2000; reproduced just outside Tower Hill Station as a vibrant walkway of art to the Tower.
In 2004 the artist was honoured to meet the late Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh at a reception at the Tower of London; in recognition of his work.
See more of Whatley's tributes to New York City in his NYC Art Album here on Flickr and on his website.

I found it so interesting to watch this young couple setting up for a few self portraits in the heart of Time Square.
You may remember this young lady from an earlier shot here.
No trip to the Big Apple is in the books until you visit Times Square - at night. This is a 6 shot panoramic shot of the traditional garish display of ever-changing banners and advertisements.
Formerly known as Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the then newly erected Times Building – now One Times Square – the site of the annual New Year's Eve ball drop which began on December 31, 1907, and continues today, attracting over a million visitors to Times Square every year.
Times Square functions as a town square, but is not geometrically a square; it is closer in shape to a bowtie, with two triangles emanating roughly north and south from 45th Street, where Seventh Avenue intersects Broadway. Broadway runs diagonally, crossing through the horizontal and vertical street grid of Manhattan laid down by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, and that intersection creates the "bowtie" shape of Times Square.
The southern triangle of Times Square has no specific name, but the northern triangle is called Father Duffy Square. It was dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's U.S. 69th Infantry Regiment and is the site of a memorial to him, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, as well as the TKTS reduced-price ticket booth run by the Theatre Development Fund. Since 2008, the booth has been backed by a red, sloped, triangular set of bleacher-like stairs, which is used by people to sit, talk, eat, and take photographs.
