With the large, spectacular tree in Rockefeller Center, it is easy for other trees to be left out of the limelight.

Lovely. I didn't notice the kissing couple until I enlarged the photo.
Susan - I was worried about that.
I hope people realize that all Blogger images can be enlsrged by clicking them. Perhaps I should add a magnifier icon below the photos?

This is a fantastic composition, Brian. The white and blac, with the pink lights, is stunning. I didn't notice the couple either! The cobbles around the tree are very nice. The shot just keeps getting better the longer I look at it. So much detail, including the relief in the arch inside.
And I JUST noticed (after finishing last comment) the blue of the Empire State behind! I guess it pays to read the whole post before commenting . . .
one word: LOVELY!
makes me wanna visit NYC so bad :(
Ruth, Dwd, Susan;
Thanks all. And sadly these photos look much better as originals (preview, photoshop, etc). When viewed on the web with a browser, the quality is significantly degraded.

Ah, I went to Flikr and saw the lovers--nice! Also love the photo--the lighting is special!
Hi!!!I from Russia, Moscow. I badly write in English. I wish to tell, that your city-it capital of the world, the finest and bewitching city on the Earth. I hope, that my dream though time to visit New York will be carried out. Thanks for a photo, it is very successful.
