🎉
Daytime scene on a cold New Year's Day in a large city on a downtown street crowded to capacity with pedestrians facing an array of wide-screen jumbotron monitors; the monitors are showing the live inauguration of the City's new mayor, which is taking place five blocks away; Mayor Mamdani is making his official inaugural speech and, based on the closed captioning on the screen, is saying "if you yearn for solidarity, let this government foster it"; the monitors are installed at every block leading out to the horizon, where the sky is so sunny, it is hard to see how blue it is; tall buildings surround the thousands of attendees, most of which are empty because of the holiday.

🎉
Evening street scene on New Year's Eve near an area of a large city that is known for its big countdown celebration; behind a group of people, who are behind a police barricade that includes dump trucks to guard against entry to the next two blocks; we are not sure if they will be letting anyone else in; in the distance, the center of the New Year's Eve action glows with a purple theme - it is sponsored by Planet Fitness, but the sign for Roku is also purple; above the ball-drop area, a police drone surveils they area from between the tops of skyscrapers.

#NYC #City #Night #Liquors #Storefront #Booze #SmallBusiness #OldSignage #PackageStore #StayAmazingNYC
Evening scene, after dark, on a sidewalk of a large city, facing the storefront of a small business offering a variety of alcohol products; attached to the side of the building is a tall, vertical antique incandescent sign that reads "LIQUORS"; on the awning of the store, another vintage lighted sign reads "Cork and Bottle", with painted lettering reading "wine and spirits"; all of the signage is red and casts a warm red glow on the cold surroundings; on the sidewalk outside the package store has an old wooden barrel for decoration as some pedestrians made their way to someplace warmer; across the sidewalk, near the street curb, is a tall street light pole, from which hangs a banner with the image of an athlete and the words "Stay Amazing NYC."

#NYC #City #PublicParks #Winter #Night #CentralPark #Trees #HandsomeCab #Schist #Olmstead #Snow #Geese
Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a big public park in a major city, facing a small and lightly-wooded area where only a couple of hearty small trees are still hanging on to their leaves; the other trees, with their darkened bark standing in contrast to the light layer of white snow on the floor, include varieties of elm, maple, and birch; also prominent in the scene is a giant rock - half buried in the ground - of at least seven meters in length is actually four-hundred and fifty year old metamorphic rock called Manhattan Schist; the island is basically made of this rock, known for its strength and ability to support big skyscrapers; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly. Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a dandy public park in a major city, facing a great paved stone terrace surrounded by nature; a small frozen lake on one side and a grand staircase and bridge on the other, the eighteen-sixty-four Bethesda Terrace and its iconic fountain is a work of art and a city landmark; there are about one hundred people touring the lower terrace, despite its being covered in puddles and slippery spots; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly. Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a grand public park in a major city, standing at the edge of a small, frozen lake and facing a group of small Canadian geese; they are lined up along the cement wall of the terrace, presumably begging tourists for snacks; at the other side of the lake are the still-colorful trees of a small wood; at the horizon are the silhouettes of towers of buildings on the City's west side; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly. Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a sweet public park in a major city, on a paved pathway facing a lightly-trafficked fareway, just as an elegant horse-drawn carriage makes its way past; in the foreground, there is a glowing lamp on an antique lamppost, surrounded by snow and slush; off in the distance, past a stand of bare winter trees, is the silhouette of a small section of upper-east side skyline; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly.

Nighttime scene in a popular and famous public park in a large City, facing a park bench that has a couple inches of snow on and where someone has built a small snowman; it is a rather unconventional snowman in that is is mainly the bust of a snowman, starting with its upper torso; there is a piece of wood in the snowman's hole-mouth, and circular holes for coat buttons; in the distance, floodlights illuminate a famous art museum.

Nighttime scene at a bus stop on an avenue in a large city where a light snow has begun to fall; the sky is not very dark, instead the low snow clouds are illuminated by the city lights; some of the snow has blown over the bus stop sign, which reads that the next M103 bus is still 37 minutes away; snow is also covering part of the small bus shelter which is playing an advertising video and showing the time (nine twenty-three P.M.) and temperature (twenty-eight degrees Fahrenheit); in the distance, CVS is open; it looks like a plow truck or something has been down this avenue, even though the snow is not deep, because the asphalt looks wet but not snowy.

Daytime scene at an airport in a large city on a religious and traditional winter holiday; in the public areas of terminal number four, there are groups of large, lighted Christmas trees tastefully decorated with red ribbons standing on folded red sashes, including one with reindeer and snowman decorations; behind the decorations is a tall wall of glass windows spanning the length of the wall and overlooking the taxi and rideshare pickup area; in the distance, inside with the holiday decorations, is an airport restaurant called "Central Diner", although it is closed due to the holiday; the terminal is cleaner than usual.

#NYC #City #Festive #Holiday #Lights #Decorations #FireEscape #TurtleBay #SilentNight
Evening scene after dark in residential neighborhood of a large city during the holiday season, facing a group of tall residential buildings of numerous shapes and sizes; most notably, in the center of the scene on one of the smaller buildings, a fourth-floor apartment fire escape is generously lit up with multiple types of holiday lighting - the strands forming a shining diamond; surrounding the display, which gives off a blue and pink glow on the building's wall, are decorations such as candy canes and an illuminated figure - perhaps a snowman; although the many other apartments have some of their lamps turned on, the fire escape display stands out as lending a festive atmosphere and vibe to this often dull neighborhood; today is the holiday of Christmas Eve and tomorrow is Christmas Day, a holiday that has a varying level of significance across modern cultures; we are lucky to enjoy Earth together and need to be its caretakers.

#NYC #City #Festive #Winter #Holiday #Decorations #Cathedral #Landmark #Skyline #Iconic #NeoGothic
Evening scene in a popular area of a large city, from the ground facing up to the peak of a historic religious building; work was begun on the construction of Saint Patrick's Cathedral in the mid-eighteen-hundreds but stopped during the civil war, and it was finally consecrated in nineteen-ten; the floor is soaked from a rainy day and, although the rain has stopped, the sky is cloudy and ominous as this week of holidays and festivities continues; the lights decorating the Cathedral cast a glow on the wet steps as dark skyscraper buildings stand in the shadow of the beautiful Decorated Neo-Gothic landmark.

Daytime scene at a park square in a large city, facing the facade of the eastern portion of the world's largest retail department store during the holiday season, amid dozens of busy shoppers and tourists - running from place to place, or taking a break on the patio courtyard; the first floor of the two-point-five-million square foot building, which opened in nineteen-oh-two and is a nationally recognized historical landmark, is generously decorated with green ivy, red ribbons, and golden LED lights; across the second and third floors, straddling the store's famous clock, is a large scrolling, golden, cursive message - "Give Love" - stretching the entire width of the building; the facade is designed in the Palladian style with Scottish, hand-carved features around the entrances; she sky is sunny and blue, but it is still cold down on the street.

#NYC #City #Bowery #Festive #Holiday #Lights #FirstPark #Tree #Graffiti
Daytime scene on the sidewalk at the corner of a small park of in a major city, facing a very tall - about four and a half metres - lighted, holiday Christmas tree; the tree has been placed there by the community and sparkles with rainbow-colored LED lights; in the background, a plain beige building is given vibrance by the colorful graffiti pieces written on it, mostly bubble-style throws which look somewhat fresh; the park where the tree is located is around an area known for its crowded tenement housing in old times; built during the Great Depression in 1935 as part of a program of the New Deal, the park now features a tennis/handball wall and, despite its name of "First Park" is far from the first park in the city; it is so-named due to its location on first street.

#NYC #City #Festive #Holiday #Lights #HudsonYards #Mall #Fancy #Shiny #Vessel #Glitter #Decorations #HotDogCart #Gold
Evening scene at a high-end shopping mall in a large city during the holiday season, overlooking the large, six-story grand foyer of the mall; all over the mall, everything is excessively decorated with lighted ornaments of hold, long strings of lights and green garlands; in the center, appearing to hover above the large, marble floor where the customers make their way in and out of the shops, there is a giant, two-stories tall model of a hot air balloon - gold in color and encrusted in lights that shine like jewels; to either side of the great hot air balloon are bunches of regular balloons, also gold and instead of a basket, are attached to lighted Christmas trees - making them seem to levitate in the air. Evening scene at a fancy, high-end shopping mall in a large city during the holiday season, facing down a set of escalators, gleaming in gold trimmings and lights; staring downward towards the lower tiers of balconies and mall walking areas - all of which are also strung in colder lights and decorations - reveals the true size of this large mall all the way to the second floor mezzanine where there is an entrance to a fancy shop; there are other people posing and taking photographs with the backdrop of the over-the-top decorations; at this same level, in the distance, is a restaurant with a sign that reads "Eataly Caffe"; it is not bad but overpriced. Nighttime scene in a large city during the holiday season in the courtyard of a large architectural attraction shaped like a pine cone; the "vessel" is a massive sculptural achievement that is eight levels tall, each dtramatically cantilevered and wrapped in golden lighting; it is not longer fully accessible because people were jumping off; the tree-lined courtyard, still damp from recent weather, is usually very crowded with tourists but, since the area is in close proximity to a big river, not many are able to enjoy it very well due to the strong winds blowing in from the water; the small trees lining the tiled courtyard are glowing very brightly with golden lights that illuminate the paved area; in the background, the area is surrounded by architecturally creative buildings and (new but rather common-looking) skyscrapers that are also lit up tonight, not for the holidays but just as they normally are. Evening scene in a large city at a park amid a corridor of high-rise and skyscraper buildings, many of which have been built somewhat recently; the park is surrounded by small and medium sized trees that are entirely wrapped in decorative lighting, mostly in gold; they match the amber glow coming from the windows of the neighboring buildings; at the center of the scene is parked a red Hebrew National hot dog cart which also sells burgers and sandwiches, but this area is not as busy in the evening as in the daytime, so the hot dog guy is just chillin; far in the distance is some more festive lighting of various colors, as well as a famous architectural structure known as "the vessel".

Nighttime scene on a sidewalk in a large City, facing the extremely bright exterior of the city's largest transit station; the station, which never closes and serves regional intercity trains, two lines of commuter rail, the one, two, three, A, C, and E subway lines, and buses of all kinds, is located in the center of one of the City's boroughs where there are crowds of pedestrians who are there for all sorts of reasons; the sign a ove the station's entrance reads "NJ transit - Penn Station" and above it, a very big LED display which is currently advertising a black cherry flavored beverage with a fuchsia-themed design; there is a massive ceiling above the large, exterior entrance area that constantly changes colors to correspond with the advertisements being displayed on the screens; through the large windows of the station's front stand three tall Christmas trees, lit up in gold; the lights are very bright and cast their colorful glow on everything around the station.

Daytime scene on a sidewalk in a large city, facing the storefront of a large liquor store; I think they sell wine too, but have never been in there; they always have plenty of unique, seasonal decorations like today where there is a big inflatable snowman and a small Christmas tree set up outside beneath the awning that is strung with green holiday lights; there are standing signs advertising their special prices; on the window, the words "Holiday Spirits" is painted in bright yellow - a play on words because the store sells wine and spirits.

Nighttime scene on the corner of a sidewalk in a large city, facing a giant ice sculpture that a local school has put outside; on top of the ice sculpture are two burning candles symbolizing the second night of Hanukkah, a major holiday for the faith of the people that run the school; it is a really pretty sculpture; most of the snow and ice is gone from the sidewalks but people worked at it all day because tonight the cold continues; in the background, across the street from this vantage point, is a restaurant with a bright red "PIZZA" sign and another sign with its name, Delizia 92; it is a great spot for a quick slice; a large billboard is hung on the wall high above the restaurant with more advertising, including their phone number.

Daytime scene on a snowy morning at a great park in the center of a borough of a large city, walking one of the nature trails and facing an old stone arch surrounded by stones - both coleres in green moss as well as snow; the sky, the floor, and all the trees are covered in a light blanket of fresh, white snow; a young person, wearing a heavy coat and ear muffs, passes under the massive stone arch. Daytime scene on a snowy morning at a great park in the center of a borough of a large city, facing a small, lightly frozen lake which is surrounded by snow-covered trees; the lake meanders its way west through the park toward a massive, historical, art deco building with two great towers standing tall against the gray, snowy sky. Daytime scene on a snowy morning at the great mall of a park in the center of a borough of a large city, facing down the center of the mall corridor where a number of people are braving the cold to enjoy the tranquil and scenic first snowfall; all of the trees lining the mall have lost their leaves already and are now covered in 1-2 inches of fresh snow; most people are wearing black because they like to dress like one another; to the side of the scene, beside a park lamppost, there is an open food cart parked selling crepes and waffles - just the thing for a cold, snowy morning; the floor is still covered in a sheet of pressed snow and is quite slippery in places. Daytime scene on a snowy morning at the entrance of a great park in the center of a borough of a large city, looking down a snow-covered sidewalk and across the street at a snow-covered Muswum of Natural History; all down the sidewalk, all the way to the vanishing point, are various food carts, offering everything from Latin American and Halal food - to hot dogs and cheeseburgers; a couple of young people are waiting for their hot dogs; the museum across tge street has a circular tower with a type of steeple on top; it has just opened for the day but it is cold and windy, so many are discouraged from visiting today; the towers of a large building appear in the distance among the snow-covered December trees.

Daytime scene in a large city, indoors at a fantastic ginger bread house exhibit, facing one of the gingerbread houses, which is a whole city block complete with apartment buildings, a restaurant, and shops; the edible design is beautiful and colourful, utilizing frostings and candy for a very detailed work of art; there are random people in the background enjoying the delightful ginger bread creation; this one has little animal figurines hanging out on it. Daytime scene in a large city, indoors at a fantastic ginger bread house exhibit, facing a very large model train set with a bridge, miniature buildings and two large-scaled model trains speeding to their destinations; the train depot is made of gingerbread and is super cute; the exhibit is very busy with people, all of whom are enjoying the model train feature - especially the children; bright globe lights hang from the ceiling, making everything really bright. Daytime scene in a large city, indoors at a fantastic ginger bread house exhibit, facing one of the gingerbread houses, which is a whole row of brownstone apartment buildings; creatively "painted" with pretty pastels, the edible design is beautiful and colourful, utilizing frostings and candy for a very detailed work of art; there are random people in the background enjoying the delightful ginger bread creation; this one has little trees and a snowman on it. Daytime scene in a large and lovely city, underground on a busy subway platform, facing across the tracks at the opposite platform; it is holiday season in this particular place and today is the day called "Santa Con" where hundreds of college people and yuppie people dress up like Santa Claus and go bar-hopping; it is weirdly entertaining in a way; this group appears to have two Santas and an elf, unironically the shortest of the group and is wearing a somewhat form-fitting set of green pajamas, but it's fun; the young person should work on their posture or they may regret it in the future; they sound kind of hammered; they are waiting, along with many others, for the uptown "one" or "two" train.

Nighttime scene in the commercial center of a borough in a large city, facing down a busy street full of cars, pedestrians, and actual Santa Claus peddling a pedicab; to one side of the scene, there are large (mostly corporate) shops and to the other side, the largest traditional department store in the world; in the center of the scene, in the distance, stands what was once the tallest building in the world and an engineering miracle - all lit up with its iconic spire lit in standard white. Nighttime scene under a dark sky in one of the busiest retail, transportation, and sports centers of a borough in a large city, facing a corner of a massive train hall and transportation hub; along the streets are food trucks and carts offering a variety of treats to keep people warm (including themselves); just beyond the train station is the circular exterior of a famous sports and entertainment venue - tonight lit in green and red for some type of holiday event; in the distance, the golden spire of a famous skyscraper, is all lit up and peeking out from behind some other large buildings; further in the distance and fairly high in the air, a bright neon sign glows with the words "NEW YORKER" in all caps. Nighttime scene in one of the retail centers of a borough in a large city, just before a pedestrian crossing in a very small park, facing the other side of the street where a brightly-lit, colorful carousel is entertaining its riders - young and old alike; all around the scene are tall buildings, some of which are quite old; off to the side is an equally bright light from a food cart offering Halal food, as indicated by its sign; the photographer could go for some Halal food on this cold December night; in the foreground are neatly-stacked red and green Christmas balls, each about two feet in diameter; all of the pedestrians are in a rush.

Evening scene on an intersection sidewalk in a (largely) residential neighborhood of a major city where it has been raining; in the foreground are piles of black, plastic trash bags stuffed with garbage; the piles were about one and a half metres tall and stretched at least six metres down the sidewalk, creating a hazardous obstacle for pedestrians - particularly those with walkers or wheelchairs; the intersection of streets is not extremely crowded at this time, but the street is wet and they are driving fast; we hope everyone arrives safely wherever they're going; the red traffic lights and white streetlamps, along with the wet rainy air, cause large lens flare effects on the photo; in the distance, and also to the side, are high-rise residential buildings made of bricks - thousands of people stacked atop one another; the sky is gray because it is raining.
