On Top of The World

The One World Observatory, on the 102nd floor of the beautiful new One World Trade Center offers spectacular views of Lower Manhattan and Midtown. Thick glasses, harsh light, reflections, and hordes of people are not conducive to good photography, but I had a lot of fun, especially finding subjects and points of view where no one else would… 🙂

The Guggenheim

The Guggenheim Museum in New York was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The cylindrical building, wider at the top than the bottom, was conceived as a “temple of the spirit”. Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. (Wikipedia)

A Photo A Week Challenge: From Color to B&W

This photo was taken in Tribeca, New York City. I love that area. There was a heat wave in New York that day and temps reached the low 100Fs. Walking around town was a crazy idea, but NY is worth any sacrifice.

Here’s a bit of Tribeca in color…IMG_1234 - Version 2

And here it is in B&W…

A Word a Week Challenge: Behind

Lao Tzu said: “To lead the people, walk behind them.” And so I did… and snapped a few photos while at it… 😉
