52 Photos Project

The prompt for Week 28: mirror reflection

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants
in NYC.  I think I like it as much
for the clever décor as I do for the food.

another footbridge


This one's in Tribeca, across West Street, about a
block north of Ground Zero. It's used mainly by
the 3,000+ students of Stuyvesant, NYC's premiere
public high school.

Friday Sunset


This chemical-laden sunset over
New Jersey was captured from the
west side of Manhattan.

[You can see more sunsets (or post one
yourself) in the Weekday Photos Challenge
meme, here.]

weekend reflections


Now this is what I'd call a MULTI-plex!
When I get around to seeing Avatar
(in 3-D!), this theater on 42nd Street
is probably where I'll go.

monochrome weekend


These are the beautiful library lions
in front of the NY Public Library. In
the 1930s, during the Depression,
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia named them
Patience (seen here in the foreground)
and Fortitude, two traits New Yorkers
needed then—as we do again now.

weekend reflections


It's the old reflected in the new on 42nd
Street. (The reflective building is the Hyatt
Hotel right next door to Grand Central).

weekend reflections


Here we are at "the world's largest store."
Normally, I avoid it like the plague at
this time of year—made an exception,
though, to take some pix of their
holiday decorations.

Monochrome Weekend


Here's my offering for a meme I found today:
just one rule—your photo must be b&w or sepia.
Took this at Lexington Avenue and
50-something Street.

My True Colours





Here's my offering for bright lapis blue:
A brightly colored house on Burano,
a blue glass sculpture on Murano,
a fairy bluebird in NYC's Central Park Zoo,
and cafe tables in the East Village.

Reflected in a mirrored wall up on
the roof of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in NYC, Roxy Paine's magnum
opus, "Maelstrom."

True Colours Thursday — Silver





Here are my offerings for today's color —
My favorite "silver" edifice in NYC, the
Chrysler Building, beautiful shiny fish
at the market in Venice, a favorite
Christmas ornament (unfortunately not
mine), and, finally, something that actually
IS silver.

Fear—of heights!


Here's my first offering for Photo
Friday/the Weekly Photo Challenge.
