Festive tree at the Rock
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 15 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
Over the last week have been taking shots of the festive trees and lighting in the city
Here is the Tree at the Rockerfeller center
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

Wow, that looks great. Makes the tree in our nearby town look second hand, it must have 1% of the lights this one has!
