I went back down to Rock Center last night with my 'real' camera on a post-dinner walk and snapped this, among other shots. Saks 5th Avenue is right across the street and the whole thing is lit up in an absolutely gorgeous display of Christmas color and light.
New York is funny at Christmas time. On one hand it wants to be as jaded and worldly as New York. Black leather jackets and boots and wrap around shades cool. On the other hand, it really is a magical place that captures the spirit, look and feel of Christmas as it is in our imaginations; other-worldy, beautiful, tender, nostalgic and a place where we are good to one another and our hearts are with our fellows. I love that about New York. Sure, it's inconsistent. You wanna make somethin' of it? Fergitaboutit.
I <3 NYC.
