New Year's Eve

For New Year's Eve, we stopped by a friend's house. They had a great Christmas display up, so I took the following shots. I really like how the bulb reflection turned out.

Christmas Time Snow 12/20/09

Here are a few shots of our house after the snowfall of 12/19 & 12/20/09. We received almost 18" of snow from this storm. This was a wind-blown snow, so some areas were higher.

The picture below is of some bells that we have hanging off our front porch railing. I liked the little bit of snow collected on the outside and inside of the bell.


This is what our front porch looked like that morning after it finally stopped snowing.


I had taken a shot of these wreaths last year, so when I saw this scene, I knew I had to take another shot, with this different view.


I really liked how the reflection off this Christmas bulb showed the surrounding landscaping.


NYC Photo Walk - 12/20 - 12/22/2009

Here are some shots from my recent NYC photo walks that took place between 12/20 and 12/22/09. We had some family visiting us, so I ventured into the city each day to travel around with them. It was a great time for all.

The building below is the former ING Building, I'm not sure what firm is located there now. The building has a large circular structure in front, and I thought it made a great frame for the top of the building.


The christmas bulbs are located in the fountain in front of the Chase building at 1251 6th Avenue.


I liked the colors reflecting off of this building, which is located near Herald Square.


The UBS building on 6th Ave had these 10' to 12' high toy soldiers in front of their building.
