Description
Park Avenue Midtown
The Helmsley Building, at 230 Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, New York, was built in 1929 as the New York Central Buildling in the Beaux-Arts style. Traffic flows through the Park Avenue viaduct through two portals of the building, one for uptown and one for downtown traffic. This is looking at the downtown portal. I used to work at 245 Park Avenue and spent a lot of time here, especially in the wee hours of the night. I would walk through the portals and then cross into the Met Life building which sits above Grand Central Station.
Park Avenue is considered the 2nd most prestigious avenue in the city, next to Fifth Avenue. Midtown is home to many "Wall Street" firms, more since 9/11.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
