I work across from Bryant Park so, the park and the Bryant Park Hotel are often subjects of my photos/tweets. So I am not posting many here.

  

 

The Pond at Bryant Park

Times Square

 The Target Billboards in Times Square.  I love these!

The Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is one of my most photographed buildings, by default, as I have a clear view of it from my office.  

Also when I'm out and about it always seems to somehow show up in my photos.

I think the ESB is an attention whore!  LOL
