A Snowy Evening

We had our first real snow of the year yesterday. I took these of the trees next to our building out the window in the living room.

Christmas in NYC

Last night I did the New York equivalent of driving around to look at people's Christmas lights. I walked from work, on 30th St., to the Time Warner Center. Some of my pictures did not live up to my standards and I hope to go out at some point with my tripod and Clay to act as bodyguard and try again. And before you ask, the tree at Rockefeller Center is being lit tonight so I'll have to visit it later as well.

They put these out every year and I always wonder who came up with this concept. It's cool, but really odd.

The lone wolf

I'm sure this is at least somewhat festive in the day, but at night with all the shadows it's really creepy.

Because of the huge windows in the Time Warner Center you can see these stars all the way down 59th St. They change colors in time to the Christmas music playing inside. It's actually pretty cool to watch.
