Last month, on today's date the weather was nice, and I had some time to myself, so I decided to go and try to capture some shots of the Flatiron Building, my second-favorite building in New York City.

As it turns out, the Flatiron was undergoing some sort of exterior work, so that pretty much ruined any chance of getting a great shot of the building. I had to settle for the one at the left. Nice enough, but not quite what I was looking for, I guess.

Still, the day was great, and I managed to get a couple shots I like, including this one of the Empire State Building. Again, not the best ever, but I like it.

Probably my favorite of the day was one I didn't expect at all. This is a shot across Madison Square Park. The tall building with the clock on it is pretty famous, though I'll be durned if I know what the name of it is. At night, it's usually lit up like a brightly colored wedding cake. I'm sure the locals could tell you what the color scheme means but, again, I'm clueless. Maybe someday I'll figure it out. Or one of you fine folk can tell me.
