On 21 August this year I was in New York and could go to Central Park to see the eclipse. I did not have a pair of special glasses, so I concentrated on other people who were also watching. It seems a little alienating, all of us looking up in the sky. Luckily we saw something, it was not all covered by clouds and worth the wait! For more responses to this challenge, have a look here.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame
For a couple of years nothing happened. There was this huge hole in the ground and then the construction started for a forty-something floor high-rise! The view is from East 46th Street up to Hammarskjöld Plaza and First Avenue.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle
In response to this week’s photo challenge I am posting a clock above the Tourneau shop on 57th Street, a combination of two photos taken on Fifth Avenue and in Central Park and the sign for the button shop in East 62nd Street.
The photo above was a try-out, some years ago, thanks to Leanne Cole‘s instructions. In Lightroom I made a circle of the skyline on both sides of East River.
Here are more responses to the challenge.
