I was walking around New York after a long day of shopping... The sun was going down and the lights were lighting up the city that never sleeps...I love the buzz of this city and can't wait to go back there again! One of my favourite cities in the world!!!

I've been wanting to get back to this spot since 2008, here was my original photo from that year long before the WTC development. Still patiently waiting for 2WTC...

The NYPL has frequently appeared in feature films, most often as backdrop or a brief meeting place for characters. It serves as the backdrop for a central plot development in the 2002 film Spider-Man and a major location in the 2004 apocalyptic science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow. It is also featured prominently in the 1984 film Ghostbusters. In the film, a librarian in the basement reported seeing a ghost, which became violent when approached. Other films in which the library appears include Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), You're a Big Boy Now (1966), Chapter Two (1979), Escape from New York (1981), The Time Machine (2002), and Regarding Henry (1991). In the 1978 film, The Wiz, Dorothy and Toto stumble across the Library and one of the Library Lions comes alive and joins them on their journey out of Oz.
I looked out of my window, still wearing my pajamas in my old Brooklyn apartment with good old steam heat keeping me comfortable, and this is what I saw.

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.
Read about the event from the official Dance Parade website!

The beauty of Central Park in NYC is the land is as it was, not altered by man. With that if you know where to look you'll find these geological treasure left by the last Ice age, 11000 yrs ago. As a kid I always found these rocks interesting and wondered how many eyes over time gazed at them.
I've been waiting to take pictures here since it was built - finally got to climb the landmark, and knew it had to be done at night... This is the result. It's a little soft as I had to hand hold and didn't want the ISO to get too crazy, but still had to force 3200 whilst stopped down a touch to get as much detail in as possible. On my next visit I'll take a tripod in as I saw some folks in there with them and it didn't seem to be an issue.
From the website (hudsonyardsnewyork.com): The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.
According to Mayor Bloomberg the NYC Waterfalls art project gave the city 68.6 million dollars in economic activity,13.4 million more than expected. (The falls were shut off October 13,2008) The mayor claims the falls drew 79,200 tourists who came specifically for them and who also extended their visits to the city to see them.
