Evening in Central Park

Because I work near Central Park, it’s easy for me to pop out of work and take a quick photo safari in the park. This is why it’s such a frequent subject of mine.

Inside the Rose Center

This first shot was taken inside the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. Inside the giant sphere is the Hayden Planetarium. This truly is architecture reflecting purpose—it looks very space age.

Sheep Meadow

Midtown Manhattan skyline from the Sheep Meadow in Central Park.

The Sheep Meadow is one of the best views in the city, with layers of grass, trees, and skyscrapers. And, the Midtown skyline has changed so much over the past few years, I offer this partially as a time capsule photo.

Long View of Bethesda Terrace

Using a long lens, here is a shot across the Lake to Bethesda Terrace. The buildings of Midtown far behind. Notable is the top of 550 Madison Avenue (formerally the AT&T building, then the Sony building), the Philip Johnson-designed skyscraper.

Metropolitan Opera

An aspect of the Met opera house that is seldom seen. The side of the building has narrow windows divided by limestone slats.
