New York in Pictures

From West Village to Upper West Side.

Creative? Humorous? What is it?

New York is famous for being cutting-edge. Simply put, there is no joke about the city, and/or living here. So it does come as a big surprise when you witness something "strangely humorous" going on, things that seem to be out of place. The question is always "How in hell did it land here?" Yet again, it's New York: anything is possible. 

Below are some shots of Park Ave, with sculptures that might as well have been dropped there by aliens. What's ironic is that Park Ave is considered to be one of the classiest streets in the city (my personal favorite), so it's double surprise when you witness "such action" (as shown in pics) taking place.

NY in pictures

I've always been into architecture. As much as I love the nature, I am just as amazed with what human hands can create. NY city is abundant with architectural gems. The most amazing thing is, however, a juxtaposition of different styles and forms. Basically, the trend is in line with city's diversity.

 Most of the city is crowded with tall buildings that are closely spaced. It makes it so much harder to capture any or all of them in one shot. But it's the beauty of this architectural mosaic that makes it so New York.  

View from the rooftop at my office building, taken during our Summer outing last week. I love a juxtaposition of the colonial style with the Empire State bldg above.

8 1/2 Building in Midtown. One of my favorites. I've been trying to get a full shot of it for years! The shape is so beautiful, when looking up, I always feel as if I am about to fly all the way up.

Remodeling of LMVH has been finalized, and what a surprise. Original, creative.

Columbus Circle. Another one of my favorites. Allegedly, D.Trump build his property and the globe (in pic) in this area as it's considered the most feng shui place in the city.

Last week, I (and many New Yorkers) were pleasantly surprised with the fireworks above the Central Park.

Flatiron area. Cloudy sky is rare in NYC, that day it looked magical, almost unreal.

Streets of NY

A picture is worth a thousand words.
In one of my series "Streets of NY", I'll simply post pics of this amazing city. Very often a picture says more than could be said. It's random shots I took while walking the city. pictures that, in my opinion, show what the city is all about.

P.S. I am not a photographer as you can tell. But with practice it should get better :) and maybe eventually I'll invest in a legit camera. but for now, thank you iPhone!!
