Glass and Sky #3.

Yesterday, it was quite cold and breezy in NYC, but the conditions were superb for photographing the city, especially in the afternoon, when I captured some lovely images of Lincoln Center skyscrapers illuminated by the dying sun. This is my favorite of the three "Glass and Sky" images I am sharing with you here. I especially like it because of the contrasting colors of the buildings and their placement in the image…

NYC subway stations at 72nd and Broadway (foreground; the 1-2-3 trains stop here).
You can see some snow is still present.

I captured this image yesterday in the late afternoon. One thing that I find fascinating about NYC buildings is the close proximity of old and new buildings. For example, the subway stations are old buildings along with another one, on the far right (which is being worked on, as you can see), but the buildings to the left and in the center (background) are…

I took a brief break from the AMNH tile artworks to show you this bronze cast on the downtown platform. I have repeatedly photographed this and the other bronze casts that are there, hoping that I can get some decent images to share with you. Unfortunately,…

Columbus Circle/CNN, NYC, at night.

If you look closely at the previous picture and compare it to this one, you will find that the tall building on the right in this picture is actually on the left side of the previous image. I am also wondering if you notice how the buildings in the image curve in from both sides, sort of like the city closing in around you? I think this must be an artifact of the camera itself, am I right? Is there any way to fix that, or should I instead plan on…

A subway car being moved on surface streets in Manhattan.
It's amazing to realize how BIG these things are when compared to other, more familiar, vehicles.

I had finally rooted myself out of my apartment and was sitting at my local coffee shop, when I looked up and saw .. a SUBWAY CAR sitting in the middle of the street! I was so surprised that I didn't react fast enough, so I was sitting there, grumpy that I'd missed this weird photographic opportunity, when…

Does anyone have any idea as to what is that weird appendage is that is hanging off the snake's tail?
