Radio City Music Hall and Simon and Schuster. Our son works for Simon and Schuster, on the 17th floor. I took a few photos out the window of his office that I will post soon.

DSC_7864-001 DSC_7867-001 DSC_7871-001 I think the artwork relates to the FDR Four Freedoms Memorial Park that is currently under construction on the southend of Roosevelt Island.

Sometimes a little tilt can create interest.

DSC_7902-001 Different uses of NYC rooftops. Seemed like a mild version of privacy invasion, taking these photos. DSC_7895-001 DSC_7901-001

The United Nations building as seen from Roosevelt Island. Currently, there is a large construction project going on that is creating a traffic nightmare on the front side of the building.

Just a couple of glimpses of Midtown Manhattan from the west side of Roosevelt Island.

Some images taken on the Roosevelt Island Tram, looking northward through the glass of the tram. Above the East River you see Roosevelt Island on the right side and Midtown Manhattan on the left. It was a fun ride and if you have a valid Metro Card that is all you need. DSC_7888-001 DSC_7887-001

A seagull was one of the few signs of life I encountered along the promenade this particular morning. A view of the underside of the Ed Koch Bridge, looking west towards Manhattan. DSC_7834-001 DSC_7830-001

Roosevelt Island Tram

Roosevelt Island Tram traveling over the East River. Looking west towards Manhattan and the Ed Koch Queensborough Bridge. In the top photo you can barely see the red tram station at 59th st. Station. Bottom: tram pulling into the station on Roosevelt Island. Normally I am phobic regarding heights, but I rode the tram from Roosevelt Island back to Manhattan and had not issues. Will be posting some of the fun tram photos in the near future.

Study in Blue

Shot in midtown Manhattan. Not just an experiment in mood, but also what caught my eye was the streaks or rays of discoloration seen diagonally through the tallest building.
