THE WINDOWS AND THE TREE

On the evening of December 28 we travelled into Manhattan to take in the sites of the city during the holidays. The original plan had us skating at Rockefeller Center. Unfortunately, the line was several hours long and then it started to rain.

Taking photos on the streets of New York is always challenging because of the number of people who can walk right into you focul point. This issue gets worse during the Christmas season. I bring the to your attention since many of the photos contain persons that I do not know. I did my best to keep this down to a minimu, but...

Here are the photos from that outting:
