Manhattanhenge, Pt 2

Twice a year, the sun will appear to set right in the middle of the street, making for some great photos.

Crown Heights, Brooklyn

A friend and I took a tour around the predominantly Hasidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.  These pictures don't even begin to display the reverence of these people. Had a great walk, a great lunch, and a great time seeing the community up close. Thanks to Rabbi Beryl Epstein for his hospitality!

These are tefillin, waiting to be repaired.

The tefillin maker, working at his craft...

 A hive of activity in the synagogue...part rec hall, part sanctuary, part cafeteria...

 Kids playing on the central bima as their fathers pray...

 Cleaning and refilling the mivkah...

The Highline, Part 2

Manhattanhenge 2011

These pictures were taken at the corner of 42nd and Second Avenue.  New Year's Eve-level crowds!

Central Park - Conservatory Garden

It was a beautiful start to a gorgeous weekend at Central Park's Conservatory Garden.  Enjoy!

Birds in a Blizzard

Day after Christmas, feeding birds.  Pics taken through a window, so the resolution isn't as clear as I'd like, but I'm in love with this cardinal...

Depeche Mode Fangirl weekend

'nuff said

Greek nudes

Midmorning at the Met lent some great shadowing and nuance to the Metropolitan Museum's Greek and Roman Galleries.

Chinatown walk...

I took a walk around Chinatown on a busy Saturday morning. It's a vibrant place, and in some parts, you'd never know you were in New York City. A quick day-trip to Hong Kong, perhaps?
