Macys aglow
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 14 December 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.
Having said in a previous comment that the Macys window displays dont do a lot for me this year, the building all lit up does look pretty amazing :)
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Beautiful!
I am going to be in NY for the NYC Boat Show this week and I really hope that I will have enough energy left over to go see some of the classic Christmas sights in NY.

Another great night shot, no exif data today? Did you hand hold this one? It looks great, now get out there again, we want to see more of NYC's Christmas lights!! ;O)

@Craig: NOt sure why the Exif got los ton this one, yes it was handheld most of my shots are, as I am too lazy to carry a tripod to and fro from work everyday
Pixim from Nice, France
A point of view which enables us to appreciate this luminous tree, moreover, I imagine that it is composed of more than stars than the flags American contains some ;)

It looks like New York does the Christmas lights well. The tree on today's post is amazing. I wonder how many lights are on there? Thanks for a look at "your" city.
