From the archives: Rockefeller Center. I haven't been outside much for new photos, so this oldie will have to do for now. It was taken in the summer of 2011, look at the palm trees, makes me wish it was already spring (not especially summer, because they tend to be very hot here in NYC). Today they expect  a lot of rain here.... again not a day to go outside.

This photo was taken from the High Line (a public park built on a rail line elevated above the streets). I love the buildings in my picture, I have a weakness for buildings that are a bit out of the ordinary. The white one on the left has been designed by Frank Gehry and the blue building in the middle of the photo has been designed by Jean Nouvel

I saw a picture of this mural on Flickr, and I thought is was a great mural. So I asked the photographer where he had found this one: West 21st Street between 8 and 9 Avenue in NYC. Last week I went over there to see for myself. This mural is ENORMOUS! I have never seen anything like this before. And it was very hard to get a good picture of it, especially with the fence in front of it, which is actually a pity, because his feet are also very funny (see below).

This is my contribution to Monday Mural, for more murals you can go to Oakland Daily Photo.
A little bit more information about this mural can be found here.

Eye on  Greenwich Avenue in New York City

New Yorkers arrogant? What makes you think that?

I live so close to the Hudson River, I could easily go there often to see the sunset, but somehow I hardly ever do that.
As you can see, the sunset can be stunning!
This is my contribution to Skywatch Friday.

This afternoon I got really bored at home. I decided to go out and walk to Riverside Park and see if there was some

 sort of sunset. And there was. All afternoon it had been quite cloudy but suddenly the sun came out to say hello.
