Midtown madness

Chrysler, UN and the other old friends.

Atlas shrugged

Some people out there are carrying a lot on their shoulders. The large Atlas statue on Rockefeller Center is shadowed by St Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue.

The taste of neon

There's a lot of neon lights in the area surrounding Times Square, not to mention the smell of pretzels.

42nd Street

If walls had eyes

John Lennon lived in this building and was shot at the entrance here on 72nd street in 1980. The Strawberry Fields memorial is directly across the road.

Friends of old

There are two buildings missing in the skyline.

Lower Manhattan

Never forgotten

The open wound of Manhattan, what was once the Twin Towers.

Ground Zero

Urban mutants

Look who I found at 22nd Street! It would seem that Xavier forgot his contact lenses at the institute.

Beneath the stars

Train stations are some of my favorite places and this one is perhaps the greatest of them all. The four-faced clock on top of the information booth is a well-known icon and the ceiling is covered by star constellations.

Grand Central Terminal

Lair of King Kong

The building is flooded in light, color depending on the season.

Empire State Building

Scouting at 12th avenue

Lady of the lake

This copper statue of the Liberty goddess was a gift from France in 1885. A land battery was constructed in the shape of an 11-point star in 1806 and the remains formed the foundation for the copper statue of the Liberty goddess, received as a gift from France in 1885.

Liberty Island

I recall the park at fall

The Central Park at it's very best in autumn.

Strangers in the night

Ordinary streetlife in the Greenwich village.

Creatures of the night

The forest angel

The name of this famous fountain comes from the story of an angel giving healing powers to the pool of Bethesda in ancient Jerusalem. The statue is a neoclassical winged female figure symbolizing the opening of the Croton Aqueduct in 1842 that brought fresh water to the citizens.

Bethesda Fountain, Central Park

Point of entry

This island located in New York Harbor was once the main immigration port for immigrants entering the United States. Over 20 million immigrants have passed through these gates.

The road

Fifth Avenue goes all the way from the rugged Harlem in the north down to the wealthy areas in the south. One road with large differences.

No flat tires

The oddly shaped Flatiron building lies at the intersection of 5th avenue and Broadway, two of the most well-known streets in the world. Next to it lies Madison Square Park, believed to be the birthplace of baseball.

Fire and ice

The plaza below Paul Manship's Prometheus statue is used as an ice-skating rink during winter.

Lower Plaza at Rockefeller Center

No soup for you

I suppose the authorities does have humor after all.

34th Street

The guardian

The Lady Liberty is keeping an eye on the New York harbor.

City defender

The squirrels of New York are just as tough as the human residents.

Construction time again

One year after 9/11, it's still a big hole in the ground.

Ground Zero

Running man

The early runners of NY Marathon is entering the finish line at the south end of Central Park.

Under a blood red sky

This is the city that never sleeps. Or so they say, but the financial blocks on the southern tip transforms into a ghost town after dark.

Lower Manhattan with the Brooklyn Bridge

Fingers of God

Sunrays are caressing the skyscrapers of lower Manhattan, with the Statue of Liberty seen at the horizon.

None shall pass

The 42nd Street entrance to Grand Central Terminal is being guarded by statues of mythological characters created in 1914 by French sculptor Jules-Alexis Coutan.
