Scenes from the Square
While going out to see the Sikh Parade today, I snapped a few other photos around some of the squares—namely, Madison Square and Union Square. Spring is in its prime, and everyone is out after the long winter.
Believe it or not, I did not alter the color or saturation levels on this photo at all. It’s one of those blue-sky days, and the gold on the top of this building complements it perfectly.

The sheen on the metallic rails that decorate the Empire State Building.
The light was hitting the Empire State Building just right, highlighting the decorative, metal accents that create a slimming effect with long, vertical lines.

A small, but elegant fountain in Madison Square Park.
This old fashioned fountain in Madison Square harkens back to a time when things were simpler and less grand. I’ve always like its silhouette.
Finally, a few random photos of people and other things that struck my eye today.
