Pre 8 a.m. on a rainy fall-ish morning.<\/p>\n

I love being in Times Square that early … it’s so creepy, melancholy. Beautiful. Photos below I took: starting out on MY side of the river … and continuing over on THAT side.<\/p>\n


\nFrom the end of my street. It’s about 7 am here – a light mist of rain. And check out the huge ocean liner coming up the Hudson.<\/p>\n

\nPeeking in at a big construction site. Corner of 42nd and 8th.<\/p>\n

\nThrough a scrap of fabric: the lights of 42nd Street.<\/p>\n

\nBB King’s joint – on 42nd. I just love it – because it was literally about 7:30 in the morning … but damn, those lights were on!!<\/p>\n

\nWeird. The hot gold of the lights above – but then you can see the cooler blue and muted rainy neon of the rest of the street underneath.<\/p>\n

\nReflection in a rain-puddle.<\/p>\n

\nTimes Square. 7:45 a.m. I like it best at this weird hour of the day. Lights still ablaze … but almost empty of people.<\/p>\n

\nCheck this out. An entrance to, oh, some corporate office or something. I have not doctored this at all – or messed with the colors. I was walking across town – in the grey rainy morning – grey streets, watery neon, muted yellow cabs – everything soft and grey – and saw this bright blue entranceway. Like a spaceship or something. And check out what the security guard’s station looks like in the photo below this one. It’s so Quantum Leap Imaging Chamber<\/i>, isn’t it??<\/p>\n
