Dog Days Of Summer

Heat wave enters its fourth day today in the New York City area as temperatures soared to almost 100°F. According to forecasters, today is the hottest day of the city's week-long heat wave. Photos were taken at Washington Square Park, Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center. The video is by Colby Moore. 

Welcome To Josie Robertson Plaza And The Metropolitan Opera House

This is the Josie Robertson Plaza, the gateway to Lincoln Center. It is centered on the Revson Fountain and is located between Avery Fisher Hall, the David Koch Theater, and the Metropolitan Opera House. The home of Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing and Out of Doors festivals, the Plaza becomes an alfresco musical paradise in the summertime. It is located in Manhattan's Upper West Side at Columbus Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets.

Silhouettes Against the Revson Fountain at Lincoln Center

The brightly illuminated Revson Fountain at Lincoln Center served as backdrop to the silhouettes that I captured when I visited the David H. Koch Theater recently. The fountain was renovated to include a "floating granite ring" around the water. New technologies provide automated windspray sensors that adjust water pressure, height, and volume. Special nozzles and lighting systems allow for a multitude of special-effect water and light configurations that mesmerize visitors and passersby.
