Photogenic as always, Jacqueline enjoys the artistic grandeur at the Rockefeller Center, next to the NBC studios of The Today Show.
Times Square, looking north. On the right is the curvy electronic marquee in front of the studios where ABC's Good Morning America is produced. We saw weatherman Tony Perkins a few feet away outside and Robin Roberts at the news desk inside.
Ground Zero, site of the fallen Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. The banner with the flag on the building on the right side reads, "The Rebuilding Continues." The PATH commuter train station underneath the WTC has been totally rebuilt, with a large canopy over the entrance that sheltered us from the heavy rain. Graffiti on the fence included, "God bless America," "God bless the NYPD," "We hate Bush," and "Bush was responsible."
Divided we fall.
NBC weather personality Al Roker, interviewing members of the "Tour of Hope" bicycle-riding charity fund raising team outside the studios of The Today Show at Rockefeller Plaza. The show was interrupted at 9:30 by a special report on President Bush's statement about the release of the 9/11 Commission's findings, so the cooking segment was cancelled. (We could see that the recipe included lobster tails and avocados.)
On our way toward The Bronx we strolled through Central Park, and were startled to see this Great egret fly in and land not far from where we were sitting. We saw another Great egret fly over our motel in North Bergen, New Jersey.
This pond only a block or so from the southwest corner of Central Park, where we saw the Great egret in the adjoing photo. On the right side in back is the famous Essex Hotel.
The Museum of the New York Historical Society and other buildings with classic early 20th Century architecture along Central Park West. This is just north of The Dakota building, where John Lennon lived, and died.
A fountain at Olmsted Plaza (I think) on the east side of Central Park. The lake in back is part of the same lake seen in the photo above.
