Lonesome readers

I continue the Paris parks series with these three new pictures from the “parc de l’Ile Saint-Germain” (same as last week). Unusually empty for a Saturday afternoon (it’s already late autumn), it was easy to spot these lonely figures…

New York rising II

Since the new camera arrived, I have found more motivation to virtually take it anywhere with me. See the men at work at a construction site Midtown and a silhouette under the tree inside Time Warner Center.

Elevators & reflections

The first picture shows the elevator shaft in the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square. It takes less than 30 seconds for the 49 floors (see also here a picture while in the elevators taken last year).

Ultra wide

A colleague lent me the Canon 10-22 EF-S for a week; I was not at all impressed by picture quality and sharpness, but this is really wide. Here is a Midtown street crossing under rain:

Does it hurt?

Every business has its own marketing strategy. I don’t know how effective is this dentist’s large open window facing the street while he is performing an intervention on a patient…

Gotham city

This is the last post in 2007:

The Apple Store

Most of the Apple store on 5th Avenue is submerged, occupying a sunken plaza in front of the General Motors Building. The only part above ground is a 32-foot glass cube. The picture shows through the glass stairs people coming in and out.

Cuauhtémoc

Cuauhtémoc is a ship designed to train Mexican Navy officers and cadets. These pictures were taken at South Street Seaport in Manhattan. The second one shows the ship’s kitchen activity while white-clothed officers and cadets were running tourist visits on the upper level deck.
