If you are an idle person with time on your hands, this is an ideal form of transportation.
Lots to look at. No good at all if you are in a great hurry.
We went past Lincoln Center and the newish Time Warner Building and then headed down 7th Avenue.
Such a useful traffic jam in Times Square.
Time to look about me and goggle at all the excitement.
Lots of different faces came up in the Person of the Year frame. You can probably pay to have your face there for an instant.
We lumbered past Macy's which was twinkling like mad.
And ended up just by the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park.
The lights! ... foremost, the lights and colors. Nice.
ReplyDeleteLove these shots! That police station in times square always cracks me up. There's nothing normal about a glitzy, lit police sign!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I'm always fascinated by your photos. Your life is so different from mine. :^)
ReplyDeleteI love that Times Square picture. And the Flatiron Building is my favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteBusses are great places for people watching too.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm right there with you on the bus! Great shot of the lights in Times Square.
Great shots- Love the bus lights reflecting on the window through which are the macy lights- Mind altering! Really cool. Shots of the city are always fascinating and you take the best. ..real and personal. I like traveling on the bus with you through this post. thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove that first shot especially of Times Square...nice work...
ReplyDeleteYou are a new find for me, and I am thoroughly enjoying your explorations with camera and text of NYC. Having a daughter living there makes it even more fun to follow along, imagining her taking some of this in on her daily routes through Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought 'she's on the M104' but it doesnt go down 7th ... was it the #7?
ReplyDeleteGreat shots .. dont you love shooting through the bus windows?

I love taking the bus! I love the lights!
ReplyDeleteoh how twinkling and magical. . . x
ReplyDeletethanks for the bus ride!
ReplyDeleteLights! Color! Action!
ReplyDeleteTimes Square is so electric.
What type of camera do you use? That bus photo is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give to live in your town during this time of year.
ReplyDeleteHello Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteThat bus ride just would not have been the same in strong daylight. Hoping that the bus did not crawl too slowly through midtown.
Let us toast electricity and all the uplift it brings us round about this time of the year.
xo
would I LOVE to be in New York during the holidays to see the windows and the lights... FUN!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to echo Willow's remark...
ReplyDeletewhat fantastic shots from one of my favourite ever holiday places
ReplyDeleteI am "a traveller" with all my heart, and even a busride is filled with exciting moments. It is up to us to let our eyes see.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed my NY tour and what contrast, blue shoes agains cerise and then the beautiful contrast of the skies.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty lights! I love NYC at night. One time we were staying in a hotel near Times Square and I was amazed that all the lights were still burning bright at 3am.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I ordered your book and it arrived in excellent time! I just dipped into it last week, but decided I am going to save it to savour over the holiday break. Once again, congratulations!
