My Gorgeous New York

See the full size photo here.

Walking through Times Square, you'll see vendors on nearly every corner who are selling beautiful photographs of New York City. They all carry the same shots of the same famous places -- a tourist's New York.

I was delighted when my brother in law posted some beautiful pictures of places in New York that are precious to me. You'll need to click on the picture or on this link to his post to see them full size.

My favorites:

• #5 The Shop Around the Corner Street -- Used to walk home from work every day on this street.
• The leaves in Central Park -- Fall is the most wonderful time of year in NYC. Good bye humidity; hello holidays! And these pics are from a gray, rainy day -- the kind that only draws locals with a place to be into the park.
• #1 The floor in Yancy's office -- Many of NYC's buildings are old (for the United States) and the aging floors, doors, brick, etc. gives them so much character. (Makes up a little for the roaches.)

Also check out the beautiful doorway and rooftop shots in Soho from this post.
