Looking down from the High Line at Hogs and Heifers.
And at picnic tables that look like Legos.
Nearer home Dallas Barbecue's lights paint the sidewalk pink.
Who would have figured on cupcakes' popularity at 9:30 at night?
The moon and a plane overhead.
lovely action packed summer night shots...there's never a bad time for billy's cupcakes...
ReplyDeletegreat night scenes
ReplyDeleteI can feel the energy
Your Dallas Barbeque shot reminds me of Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks".
ReplyDeleteYour city scenes are always intriguing, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteAlmost makes me want to visit NYC...
ReplyDeleteNicely done .. those leggo looking tables are even more interesting at night.
ReplyDeleteLove the night feel you are creating with these shots, Elizabeth. I hope the visit with your daughter went well. I also was thinking of daughters and I wrote a post this week about my own daughter's influence on me...come over a read my poems if you can.
ReplyDeleteThe last capture is perplexing...and I looked at it extra long...I had to read about the plane to be able to see what the other light in the sky was...curious...I think the angle, space and building off center are effective. <3
Gee, a friend of mine is in NYC this week, makes we want to go myself. Lovely shots!
ReplyDelete"Nighthawks" was the first thing to come to mind for me as well. Great night shots. I am wondering if the high line is gated at night. Might be a great place to sleep out in a a bag!
ReplyDeletethe moon is great with plane!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that I have never been to New York? So, I'm really enjoying this blog and all the photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the moon and plane shot elizabeth. Happy 4th July - have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love night shots - such a different feeling - more moody
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, so evocative. Love the Legos, pink sidewalks and street shots
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your post everyday. It makes me miss NYC. I went to college at F.I.T. and realy feel the need for a visit this summer after seeing your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks...
Oh thanks!!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm jonesing for a walk around nightitme New York (pref part of it with you and Daryl;-)

I like the moon shot. That has to be a helecopter, surely, no other 'plane is allowed? It is not easy finding a good moon shot in the city - wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the sounds that you heard that night, too. I'm trying to imagine what's diagonal from Hogs and Heifers? A restaurant? A gallery?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Legos and New York...you've most likely already seen this:

I really like the photo of the moon, plane, clouds and building.
Cheers!
your photos are wonderful. So atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteThere is never a bad time for cupcakes in my opinion.
It is difficult to get cakes later in the evening anywhere in the UK - its just not the culture here yet sadly.
