This is a wider view of the protest crowd in NYC a couple of years ago. The protesters were outside of Macy's Department store. I personally admire their message and their determination. I decided to move it to the current front of my photostream after having seen two older ladies wearing real fur coats a day or two ago.
Another shot from the DUMBO park in Brooklyn looking towards the new World Trade Center of New York City.

A LA NOCHE
Noche fabricadora de embelecos,
loca, imaginativa, quimerista,
que muestras al que en ti su bien conquista,
los montes llanos y los mares secos;
habitadora de celebros huecos,
mecánica, filósofa, alquimista,
encubridora vil, lince sin vista,
espantadiza de tus mismos ecos;
la sombra, el miedo, el mal se te atribuya,
solícita, poeta, enferma, fría,
manos del bravo y pies del fugitivo.
Que vele o duerma, media vida es tuya;
si velo, te lo pago con el día,
y si duermo, no siento lo que vivo.
LOPE DE VEGA.
No es el edificio más alto de la Gran Manzana, pero posiblemente tenga una de las vistas más increíbles de Nueva York desde las alturas.

Coming back from a beautiful walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan, this pic was taken with a very small tripod which made me think (actually I had no choice) of this nice original angle that gives the picture all its dynamic.
Time's passing by and this pic is becoming my personal favorite in my stream!

There is something about New York that makes me think of night photography and long exposures..
although I have very little experience with this type of shooting......I was inspired by the city to give it a try! :)
This was taken on New Years Eve, everyone was in a hurry to get where they wanted to be for the night.
The NYPD had the Time Square corridor barricaded one street out on both sides for probably a mile.
Our hotel was between 45th and 46th streets on Broadway. They issued special room keys for New Years Eve which you had to present to the police before they would let you through the barricade.
You were only allowed to pass the barricade closest to your hotel, if your hotel was at 42nd street you weren't getting through at 45th street. Once through the first barricade, we passed another, before we got to our hotel.
All the doors into our hotel were locked (on New Years eve) except one and you had to line up and pass through a final police check point before entering the hotel; no special room key or evening pass...NO entry for you!!
There were lots of police and police dogs in our hotel.....I've never seen that many police in one central location before! Time Square was locked down and under control!
I the morning, you would never have known there was a "block party" of one million people! The Time Square corridor was swept up, washed down, barricades gone, for the most part...it was amazing.
My hat's off to the NYPD and the city of New York for keeping us all safe and throwing one hell of a party! :)
Happy {slider} Sunday everyone!

The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge, is a cantilever bridge. Its Manhattan end is located between 59th and 60th Streets. It is officially called the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. Plans to build this bridge were initially made in the 1830s, with attempts to privately finance construction in the 1860s. Successful plans finally came about in 1903 and it would take until 1909 to complete the bridge.
The bridge opened to the public on March 30, 1909, having cost about $18 million and 50 lives. A ceremonial grand opening was held on June 12, 1909. At the time, it was known as the Blackwell's Island Bridge, an earlier name for Roosevelt Island. This bridge decayed overtime. In 1987, renovations began and were not completed until 2012. In contrast, the renovations cost over $300 million.
This famed bridge has been featured in books (The Great Gatsby) and many movies (The Dark Knight Rises, most recently). For more info, visit Wikipedia.
Hoping friends in New York stay warm during this Polar Vortex sequel. Those of us in California are living in a water distressed state, with the drought officially declared as of last week.
Been busy today so no new picture, instead a yellow pic from New York City 2009! :^)
Included in my "2012 - 366 Days" project
One can easily spend a whole day at Central Park as it occupies over a square mile (341 hectares). We were but two of its 25 million annual visitors.
The park was opened in 1859, completed in 1873 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963. Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and architect Calvert Vaux were the designers. While much of the park looks natural, it is in fact almost entirely landscaped.......Wikipedia
