NYC Trip

My sincere apologies for not having posted anything for a while now. The snow is now gone so I fully expect to get back to bad-a$$ery shortly.

In the meantime, here are a few urban exploration-esque pics from my recent weekend trip to Manhattan, New York.

Random Building Roof

Oh dear . . . someone left a window open - let's check it out.











I rather like the various elevator equipment one finds on the top of the building's mechanical room. Unfortunately, this building had very little of interest except for the exceptional roof-top views and this one steam-punked watchyamicallit in the corner.

I wish that I had room in my luggage to bring along my trusty tri-pod - I should think that one could obtain absolutely wonderful long exposure images of the traffic and semi-organised chaos unfolding in the streets below.

I did have a few minutes to explore the beautiful and regal library and did take quite a few images there as well. For the purposes of this blog however, I simply present just one - a vacuum tube device in the staff area.
