ChristAmas in New York!


This was my 3rd time in NYC in 3 months, but I’ve never been to the Big Apple during Christmas time before! I didn’t have much time, but I managed to vagabond around the city one night and shoot the spirit of the holidays. It seemed to be just what I needed… cold weather, decorations, and everyone enjoying the sights. I had been pretty Bah Humbug until I walked out of the subway into these sights:

Radio City Music Hall Christmas Tree

Life size displays around Rockefeller Plaza.

Life size Christmas ornaments

I wouldn’t want to untangle THAT strand of lights…

Life Size Christmas Lights

Life size Christmas light bulb

Even the Hot Dog vendors participated

And how could we forget the Rockefeller Christmas tree? It was ENORMOUS! It’s unbelievable how they ship that puppy in every year…

My favorite part was the snow flake light show:
