******************************************
I’ve been to Grand Central Station twice before in the past couple of years to take photos (click here and here to see the Flickr sets) … so why go back again? The answer is simple: I had a dentist appointment a few days ago, and the dentist’s office is about two blocks away from Grand Central. I was curious to see if New York’s main train station was more crowded during the Christmas season, or perhaps had a different atmosphere than I had seen during my previous two visits in July 2008 and June 2009.
I didn’t have much time, but I thought I could spare an hour; and if you look closely, you’ll see that the first photo in this set was taken at approximately 12:15 PM, and the final one was at 1:20 PM. During that brief period, I took a total of 360 photos, which works out to approximately one photo every 10 seconds. It’s not quite as crazy as it sounds, because I often shoot three or four shots in quick succession, if I’m focusing on people in motion, or people’s facial expressions. But at the same time, I have to admit that it’s not my style to sit quietly in a corner somewhere, waiting for the one, single "perfect" photo-op to present itself in front of my camera.
Of course, the reason I can afford to do this is that digital photographs are essentially "free"; one memory card on my DSLR camera can hold 10 images, or 100, or even 500. I typically expect to delete 90% of the images I take; in this case, I was a little less critical, and ended up with 40 "keepers" out of the 360 initial images.
As for the images themselves: well, the lighting was different in winter, even though I arrived at approximately the same time of day as with the previous two summertime visits. And I was shooting with a Nikon D700 instead of a D300, so I was able to use a higher ISO setting of 6400 without suffering too much noise in the resulting images…
But mostly, it was the people — and their style and clothing and behavior — that were different. These photos were all taken two days before Christmas, so there were large groups of people (as well as a couple of soldiers) moving quickly from the ticket booth to the trains, hurrying to arrive home for the holidays. There were also numerous tourists, and there seemed to be far more cameras and cellphones than I had seen before. Also, there was an animated "light show" playing all across the ceiling of Grand Central at various intervals; consequently, you’ll see several shots of people staring straight up at the ceiling, with a look of wonder and amazement on their faces…
No doubt you’ll see other differences, too, if you’re curious. I suggest that you use the slide-show feature of Flickr to step through these images quickly; and then use the slide-show feature to step through the other two sets, here and here so you can see the differences for yourself.
Meanwhile, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year … and stay tuned for another visit to Grand Central, sometime in the future…
hidden christmas
Bild von schmedgar
This image was inspired by an exhibit of Walter Wicks’ photos (famous for the I Spy hidden object book series). I used images from many sources all available on flickr. There are too many to list but you can find most of them in my favorites and in the two galleries I set up.
There are three puzzles in this image:
1. What do the letters spell?
2. What is the sum of the tombola pieces?
3. Which side lost the chess game? (hint: the answer isn’t on the board)

The letter blocks were found elsewhere online and I antiqued them a bit.
Thanks to the Vintage Toy group where you will find many many images of toys.
This is my first time using the Gimp graphics program and I am pleased with it.
If you choose to do the puzzles, please DO NOT post the answers in the comments here.
I wish you all the Happiest of Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

Freya coming to explore the christmas items too
Bild von jon_a_ross
Images of my cats exploring the christmas tree while it is set up.
Loki trying to steal a fur lined stocking, while Freya watches. Freya’s own attempt failed mere minutes before.
Freya is our black cat and the sister to Loki. She is the top cat right now, not because she is the toughest cat in the house but because Danya does not seem to realise how afraid of her Freya is. The politics are struggle to understand as the game of posing and nerve.
Loki is our gray cat and the sister to Freya. Shy for the most part she is the lowest ranking cat in the house. But she doesn’t like that and does fight to move up from time to time.
