NYC Sky #1, Lincoln Center, NYC.

The weather in NYC has been quite reasonable today, so I began to play with my camera, as you can see from the series of images I am posting for you to see. The weatherman says we can expect snow the day after tomorrow, so I am…

A view of eastern Manhattan from a condo on the thirtieth floor on the Upper West Side (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

if it makes you feel better to think that I was nearly killed getting
this picture, well, go ahead and think that!)
