"Van Gogh's Ear"

I know it looks like a swimming pool, but that's
the name of this 30-foot sculpture by
Elmgreen and Dragset, on display at the
Fifth Avenue end of the Rockefeller Center
Channel Gardens until August 16.

Weekend Reflections

In one of the shops along the Channel Gardens
at Rockefeller Center, these pretty prisms
reflected the surrounding buildings.

Weekend Reflections

I went to Rockefeller Center to see this
year's tree—an 80-year-old, 10-ton,
78-foot Norway spruce that's been adorned
with 45,000 LED lights (that's it in the background).
But on my way down the Channel Gardens,
I discovered some other trees that also
featured . . . silvery reflections!

Thursday Challenge: "my favorite photo"

I stood under the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree
(an 85-foot-tall Norway spruce from Pennsylvania)
to take this shot of the angels in the Channel Gardens
and the well-lit façade of Saks Fifth Avenue.

That's the glow of 45,000 (!) LED lights.

Getting ready at Rock Center

Passed through Rockefeller Center recently
on my way to work.  These guys were busy setting up
the angels in the Channel Gardens while others were putting
the 30,000 lights and 550-pound Swarovski star on
the tree—which will be lit tomorrow night.
(And I will not be among the anticipated tens of
thousands who will attempt to witness it!)
