NY May 11 57th Street

The boss had to pop into the Nike Shop on 57th Street to pick up some stuff for his kids so I toddled along with him so that we can discuss stuff. But he disappeared to get some more stuff so I wandered outside the store for a few minutes and took these photographs.

Bright lamps, but why are they still alight? Its 4 PM in the afternoon!!!

Fish happens, at the timers, lol.

The Metropolitan.

A beggar. Poor chap.

A lovely building. I somehow prefer the tops of these skyscrapers than any other part, that's where their individuality shows through :)

Thin but tall one, with one of my favourite watch makers at the base.

Serrated top of this building. With statues of a bird on this one.

A plain and simple building. Looks a bit like the UN one. When compared to the one next to it, its stark.

Looks like this is a posh street. LV shop.

Once upon a time, the Greenwich Savings Bank Incorporated was here. How amusing, when I read up on it, looks like its now part of the HSBC firm now. How ironic and coincidental that I am taking a pic of it.

Tourists on the way

A tourist like me taking a pic.

Fascinating top of the building, with a military decoration?

Queuing up to take the bus

Beautiful looking lady

Rows of clocks.

Is that an Egyptian Obelix on top? What on earth?

With egyptian type of carvings, how extraordinary.

Sign posts

More photographs

His and hers shirts? lol, very nice

Cars and bikes.

The traffic policeman isnt happy with the bike rider

Waiting for the lights.

Flying flags

 

Raise Plow. In the summer. Hmmm. Bit of an holdover, eh?

NY / NJ May 2011, Some Office related views

We spent the first day in the NY office

I didnt know about the history of our building, pretty neat, eh? there is still construction going on in the lobby area and it promises to look brilliant. The offices are great with lovely views.

While we were there, the DSK scandal was in full flight. Here's the time magazine cover. OINK OINK.

Taking the Path Train to our NY Offices.

A fish eye view using my iphone. not very good, is it? from our NJ offices.

One view from the NJ Office. Lovely reflection from the glass windows of the opposite building.

 

Another view of the NJ Office and the road in front, no idea what that is. But it looks quite nice, so much different from NY. But sorry, still prefer NY to NJ

NY Evening Walk May 2011

Here are some of the photos from an evening walk. I think I had to pop over to have a bite to eat with some friends and took these.

There IS a Gotham :)

But looks like Batman pushed in the top a bit, eh?

The Venezuela Flag, something to be avoided?

I saw so many of these wooden water tanks. What on earth? Why do they still have wooden water tanks?

Nice tresses.

Souvenirs are not cute. EVER!

Its the recession these days, 99c is good enough. But mind you, the sub text says, everything is $1 and up. So you can keep on dreaming for the 99c goods and dreams.

Strange structure on a landing. A disabled lion. Looks really sad.

An old disused building with the names still there on the windows.

LOL, Pavement Pizza. the real sort.

That's a nice lintel carving.

Nice street scene.

Bank of America sign at Times Square.

The HSBC Sign is going to come down soon and be replaced with a Bank of China Sign.

Evening time.

With Robin WIlliams.

What on earth is this? Is the NYPD really on the skids?

Hello, Tom? Are you in there?

One of those rotating car parks. Neat.

 
I was told to purchase froot loops for the kids, so had to go visit 8 shops before I found them, so took a pic, emailed them home, they said yes, so I bought them and carted them back home. Joy, lol.
