These were all taken with my Sony Cybershot DSC-S700. It's just an average digital camera, it's okay.

Lovely, moody shots and definitely not the first thing one thinks about New York. That William Morris window is an amazing piece of glass art.

I've got a "green" shot coming up that looks at a tall city building through a spring-green tree, too! I like your old-and-modern view better, though, and the particular tree in your shot is beautiful.

I can't remember anymore. She's been on my LJ flist since almost the day I joined LJ, lo these many years ago. I suspect it was a FOAF situation, but I've followed her writings with great interest ever since.

These are great! I love the third shot in particular, the white/green/black combination and how the cemetery looks so very old and the grass looks so very new.

Love the William Morris glass, but these are all great.

The William Morris window picture is spectacular and I love the tranquility of the Central Park photo.
