1501 7th Avenue NYC

This beautifully ornate building front was spotted at 1501 7th Avenue in the Times Square area, New York. One thing that impressed me about New York were the wonderful art deco style period buildings which have been maintained immaculately. 

The pixelated colour blocks you see in the window are not a camera or post processing error but actually a reflection of a large megatron monitor on the building opposite.

Eco Building

I loved some of the great advertisements and billboards around the Times Square area of New York and this colourful building was worth a picture. This building is the Ernst & Young Building and looks like they are trying to portray some kind of eco message with this large picture of the half globe half plant.

Guess

The Times Square are in New York is a small area which is very intense with shops, restaurants and an array on neon-lit billboards providing a feast for the eyes. There is always something to capture on camera and a great people watching spot.

Over the years the advertising billboards have become more complex and larger with brightly lit large posters and Jumbotron screens to capture attention. This corner of buildings was being used to promote Guess with a number of different billboards focused on this brand ..... just wonder how much this type of advertising actually costs?

Fatality Lives

Some of the buildings and architecture in New York are spectacular and particularly just as the sun is setting when the neon lights are switched on. You can get some beautiful reflections in the glass fronted buildings such as we see here in this building in the Times Square area of Manhattan. The large advertising banners for the film "Mortal Kombat - Fatality Lives" seemed to blend seamlessly with the reflective colours on the building.

Times Square - Crossroads of the World

Times Square is probably one of the most recognised and iconic city centres in the World. Situated in Manhattan at the junction of Broadway and 7th Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets this commercial area has an incredible concentration of neon advertising with gigantic Jumbotron video screens now taking up much of the real estate creating a dynamic and colourful vista on all the tall buildings.

This larger area around Times Square from 6th to 8th Avenue and from 40th to 53rd Street is known as the Theatre District where most of the Broadway theatres are located as well as many other theatres, movie theatres, music halls, restaurants, hotels and other entertainment outlets. This whole area just buzzes with peope and happenings and at night with all the neon lights on can be quite spectacular.

Our hotel was situated on West 49th street so we were right in the heart of this area and Times Square was a short 2-3 minute walk away.
