More holiday snaps

Honestly, there's really no need to beg. If you want to see more of my NY photos please do just ask!


I always think it's much easier to take photos in very crisp sunshine than it is in pouring rain...


Though I rather like the ethereality of that, a sharp contrast to the iconic sharpness of these water-towers:


This is one of the huge vistas you can now get from the High Line:


And here's a lovely concrete detail from the other end of the line:


More rainy streets now, and I love the way the reds of cars and traffic lights stand out in New York (which is generally what some fashion designer or other brilliantly described as shades of "greige"):


Let's end here, with a cliche tourist shot:


Except that... Goddamnit! It's the Pan Am building, not "MetLife"! Although savour the irony that the seemingly all-conquering Pan Am towered over Grand Central, but it's Grand Central that's still working as part of an operational transport system.

I'm sorry that my comment offended you and you rejected it. I had meant to offer to show you something new in New York the next time you visited.

What comment offended me? I normally only reject those which appear to be primarily links to other sites or spammy adverts. What did you say that offended me?!

You are really a gifted urban photographer. I just thought I'd mention it...

Actually, I really appreciate that: I always think my photos are pretty rubbishy, so it's a nice surprise to have some praise. Thanks.
