This shot is from a trip to New York back in February 2011. The cool thing about going to such an attraction as the Empire State Building in the dead of night on a cool late-winter evening is definitely the lack of lines through security and whatnot. The risk, however, is that you’ll encounter cold temperatures, blustery winds and rapidly shifting weather — as seen in this photo!

This is what a southerly view looked like from Rockefeller Center in New York, upon my last visit there back in August 2011. More photos from that trip can be seen here.

It’s showtime! Theatre marquees

Flipping through some old photos today, I noticed I’ve accumulated images of quite a number of theatre marquees. Here are some of my favourites.

Theatres at New York’s Times Square.

Plaza Theatre in Calgary.

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon.

London’s Lyric Theatre.

The defunct Uptown Theatre in Calgary.

Les Folies Pigalle in Paris.

San Francisco’s New Mission theatre marquee.

The Corona in Montreal.

Made a quick stop at the new Poppy Plaza in Calgary not long ago … I should definitely make plans to come back and shoot here after dark soon.

Looking north from the Westminster Bridge in London, with the London Eye on the right. This was taken moments after riding the Eye last October. If the weather’s right, this attraction offer a great view.
