At the Lincoln Center Jazz Club. I was actually testing the camera and didn’t even specifically aim it anywhere in particular. A good shot. The concert of the evening was the Phil Woods Quintet. Didn’t care for them...too fast, and too loud!
...at Columbus Circle. This is the globe at the Trump Tower.
This is the 1 going uptown at 34th Street I believe.
An ideas was to visit the Macy’s Flower Show. It was mentioned online, but it was pretty much a dud.
Well, the store was closed on Easter Sunday, but we did get to see some of the windows. This was a rare shot that I could get with nobody else in it. Nice reflection of the building across the street.
After a week of working on UPenn work, I decided a break was indeed necessary. Off to New York! This is inside the tunnel. It looked better when I took it.
Sometimes it is just too much to remember what section of the parking garage you parked in. So I took a picture to remind me. That’s really not the case, I was just testing out the camera.
We had just gotten tickets to Xanadu, even though we wanted to see Curtains. We passed through Times Square on the way to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree.
What’s the name of that street?
My mom actually allowed me to take her picture.
It is not even officially winter yet and we’ve had three minor snowfalls. Some years go by and we hardly see a flake. This winter is going to be different. I think it is interesting how the photo has no color. Anything with color is covered in ice and snow.
August 2007 - I visited the Seattle area. I had a great week and was able to do a lot of things - visit Seattle, see the new Mel Brooks musical Young Frankenstein, visit a “Bavarian” town - Leavenworth, see glass blowing in Tacoma and take a day trip to Vancouver, BC. The area has considerable natural beauty - something that can’t be communicated through photographs, only in person. This photo was taken from the lodge at Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. You can see the residential area of Vancouver in the background.
During lunch at the lodge at Grouse Mountain, some people were parasailing right outside the window.
There was a very lame lumberjack demonstration. This picture is catching a flying axe.
There were loads of wood sculptures around Grouse Mountain.
We drove to Vancouver, BC on my last full day. It is about 150 miles north of Seattle and, with the exception of the delays at the border, about a three hour drive. This photo indicates the exact location of the boarder between Canada and the United States.
During most of my stay, Mt. Rainier was obscured by clouds, something that is common but not for so long a period of time. On my last full day, I was able to see it. Unfortunately, no picture can ever live up to the real thing. And that goes for any of the natural surroundings in this area of the country. A camera just doesn’t begin to capture the breathtaking scenery.
There is a restaurant...probably one of many...built into a cliff looking the Puget Sound. This day there was a motor boat and sail boat. Shortly after this photo was taken two tug boats helped a tanker get into port.
This shot was taken from the Duck Tour. The vehicle, seen below, rides above ground and then around the water.
Step right up and buy your Duck Boat tickets. A popular attraction in Seattle.
The Duck Tour travel street and sea. This is from the boat/vehicle in the Union Bay. You can see the Needle in the background.
Mel Brooks’ new musical is playing here. Going tonight to see one of its early previews.
The famous fish market...I didn’t see any fish throwing though. More people just standing around.
