The City View From Columbus's Feet

Looking north up Broadway & CPW Nov 2012

In 2012 there was an conceptual art exhibit at Columbus Circle by the Japanese artist, Tatzu Nishi. He designed a living room around the statue of Christopher Columbus six stories above street level. This was my view.

It was a windy cold night, swirling clouds trapped the city lights and turned the sky surreal. Here's the NYTimes article on the exhibit from 2012.


I love to squint my eyes and take in the colors on a night like this.

Street In The City ~ Lincoln & Rockefeller Center at Night

On a cold clear night, I walked through Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle and Rockefeller Center. The sky, buildings and lights were brilliant. Here are a few pictures of each location and a link to more photographs from the walk.

Kodachrome December in NYC

December opened in Kodachrome.  Warm sun, billowing clouds, a yawning moon in a blue sky.

Walking through Central Park, Columbus Circle  and following the sunset downtown thought of Stevie Wonder's Golden Lady when I measured my love for the city.  In the West Village, I watched Night Fall On Hoboken.




The next "City Stories: Stoops to Nuts" show is Tuesday, December 13th @ 6pm @ Cornelia Street Cafe.

Please come down to the Cafe for a special holiday show with gifted tellers and marvelous songsmiths: Barbara Aliprantis, Kelly Wallace Barnhill, Carl Kissin, Mary Lee Kortes, Thomas Pryor, Elizabeth Rowe & Amanda Thorpe.  Admission is $7 & that includes one free drink.

Here's a link to many pictures from the last two days and a few oldies that for some reason just fit in.
