“In der Innenstadt” / In the city center

I’m not sure what the “center” of New York is. The actual geographical center of NYC is a random street in Brooklyn. Central Park is in the middle of Manhattan, and others may think of Times Square or Grand Central Terminal. But for me, the heart of the city is its public library.

Photo of the exterior of the main research branch of the New York Public Library. The sunlit statue of Patience the lion sits on its stone pedestal in front of the library’s grand Beaux-Arts marble facade, with its columns, arches, and frieze of sculpted figures. On the left and right sides of the building are tall vertical banners bearing the rainbow design of the Pride flag, over which are printed the words LIBRARIES ARE FOR EVERYONE and PROTECT THE FREEDOM TO READ.

Resharing for #Fotovorschlag
“In der Innenstadt” / In the city center

#photography #urbanphotography #streetphotography #nightphotography #timessquare #nyc

A nighttime view of Times Square, NYC, looking down 7th Avenue from around 50th Street. Traffic flows in a river of red taillights through a canyon of buildings awash in pink light. In the foreground stand a leafless tree and a sign that reads LEFT TURN LANE with a helpful arrow. Pedestrians cross the street at bottom frame and mill about the sidewalks. Signs and banners project from the sides of buildings, most prominently a pink vertical ad that reads SONIC3 (for the “Sonic the Hedgehog” sequel). In the distance is the high-rise building of the Marriott W Hotel, with a large “W” sign at the top.

“In der Innenstadt” / In the city center

The dragons of Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard, facing Ho Chi Minh City Hall, in Saigon, #Vietnam.

Photo of a series of swooping arches over a wide pedestrian avenue receding to a building in the distance. The arches have scales and fins in hues of orange and green, and the arch at the far end bears a sculpted dragon’s head. The effect is of a dragon’s long body encircling the avenue, leading the eye to a statue of a man with one arm raised (Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh) in front of a palatial facade. Trees and shrubs line the sides of the avenue, and the sky seen through the dragon arches is blue with white clouds.
