25/365 Advertisement


We went into NYC yesterday to take the boys to see the Lion King. I was prepared to take many great shots of the city, but not prepared for how cold it was!! We were rushing a bit so I didn't get the shots that I wanted, anyway...in looking through my pictures I kept going back to this shot of Times Square. It is amazing how many ads are on buildings, cars, bus stops, everywhere! This is the first year that they are keeping the New Year's eve ball up you can see it just slightly.

  1. Perfect image for the theme, Candy! Love this night shot! I am jealous - I would love to see the broadway version of Lion King! I did finally get tickets for "Cats" though! I am a musical junkie!! Hope you all had a great time!

  5. Love the shot. I'd like to see a Broadway musical. We get to see some of the travel shows if they come to Phoenix. Lucky You

  7. Even though I lived in Manhattan when I was very small and grew up on Staten Island, it always astonished me that NYC could get so COLD! I'm glad you fingers were not so frozen as to prevent you from taking that picture. It really captures the essence of Times Square.
