Random NYC Pictures - January 2012

 There is nothing quite like NYC at Christmas time, and this year was no exception.  Check out this awesome picture and see if you can figure out where in New York City it was taken.  It should be pretty easy to figure out if you are familiar with the famous Christmas tree in midtown.

 This picture was taken at one of our favorite New York birthday spots, and is a landmark sign to be sure.  Not only does it represent one of the greatest party venues in the city, but it is also a really great place to spend a night or two when you are visiting.

Random Pictures of November

Time to post some random pictures of New York City and the surrounding area once again.  This is an interesting time to take pictures in the city, as taking a snapshot of a moment in time and then looking back on it forces one to realize that the passage of time marches on, and that the warmth of summer is transitioning to the cold grasp of winter's frigid hand.

Brooklyn captured on a beautiful Fall day.  

The trees in Central Park remind us all that summer has gone and that winter is just around the corner.  Everyone had better take advantage of the nice days while they can, because snow, wind, and cold temperatures are just around the corner.

Dinosaur at the Museum of Natural History

I took this cool picture at New York City's Museum of Natural History, and I have to say that I think it is very cool looking.  I do not think it matter how old you get, there is something fascinating about the thoughts of dinosaurs roaming the Earth.  Their sheer size is enough to leave people in awe, and their demise is a mystery that still raises a lot of questions.

Personally, I'm a fan of the meteor striking the Earth, raising a cloud of dust, etc theory, because I think it makes the most sense.  However, after some geology courses, it could have been something as simple as shifting poles or an Ice Age that led to the disappearance of dinosaurs.

Where is H.G. Wells' time machine when you need a question answered?  Then again, knowing me, I would probably travel back in time only to be stepped on the moment I arrived.
