Never thought that such a big City like New York could be so quiete and relaxing. My favorites are “Afternoon Walk”,”Hudson Afternoon II” with the brilliant light that reflacting on the water, I like the tulips (tulips from Amsterdam) 🙂 in “Runners”, “Oculus” and “Manhattan Geometry”.
Warm regards, Heidi

You’re bringing back memories, Jane! I used to work near there and many times I walked over after work to de-stress (not in the winter!). It’s a great place to photograph, too, between all the glass and the water vistas. “Branches” is my favorite!
