Festive is the Word

Description

...for NYC at this time of year, that's for certain. This was taken one rainy night in December of the Lord & Taylor department store on 5th Avenue. And no, I did not watch the ball drop last night because I was on the NJ shore, and it's too many people anyway (TV works better for me in this case;-).

Hope everyone has a fantastic 2006!!

What a beautiful shot Goshka! The wet pavement really adds to this! I would never try Times Sq. with my camera, too many people and being under 5' tall would not be able to see anything anyway :-) It's much safer and fun to see it on TV! #2242292
