Free For All Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 For some odd reason, I am still waking up every morning. Well, that's always a good thing, isn't it? I mean as opposed to the alternative...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I thought this thread was started just today (we got socked with a big snowstorm yesterday), until I read Jim's post and said "What?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 And I guess we lost ben*diks somewhere along the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Same views, different morning... and 3 hours later... ad here is my guardian pelican. He's looking east, I'm looking south, on Central Park West... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 And I guess we lost ben*diks somewhere along the line? Probably when I accidentally deleted the member table of the database and tried to go to our "monthly" backups that never actually existed (that sucked).

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 So, I guess those are the Queensboro and Williamsburg bridges in the second photo? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Anyone else jealous of Chris' view? Great pictures, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, it is a nice air conditioner.....how many BTUs you think it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 MG, that is the Triboro Bridge and, to its left, a railroad bridge that I cannot name. Weizy, I don't recall the BTU, but it keeps me cool and dry on nasty NYC summer days. It also is quite good at running up my ConEd bill!

7/4 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 He probably too far North to see the Williamsburg, particularly at that angle. Isn't that the Empire State building next to the AC in that 3rd shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 He probably too far North to see the Williamsburg, particularly at that angle. Isn't that the Empire State building next to the AC in that 3rd shot? On a clear day, I can see the Whitestone Bridge, but not the Williamsburg. Yes, thats the Empire State, and--if you look closely--you can also see the Chrysler Building, the Citicorp building, and the Plaza Hotel. Here's a closer look at those buildings, taken 3 months ago (wasn't the park beautiful?): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownian Motion Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 So, I guess those are the Queensboro and Williamsburg bridges in the second photo? MG The bridge on the right is the Triborough Bridge, and on the left, I believe, is the Hell's Gate Bridge, a railroad bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 What I woke up to this morning... Pretty good that a guy his age could scale that wall and maintain his balance on the ledge. What the heck did you do when you saw him out there brandishing that piece, Chris????? I wonder how he got your address???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 He didn't look like Cheney, so I felt safe. Anyway, he was aiming at the pelicans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 This morning it snowed--for a minute, I could forget that I was in Manhattan. Guess cell phones work in the snow, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Twizzle Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I don't wake up to this scene everyday but I do pass this location almost every day. It's one of the reasons I finally bought a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I love pictures like that, and it is a good thing that you don't wake up to this scene! BMm I'm trying to find info on the architect. All I can tell you now is that the building dates back to 1929 and that the architect has pelicans on other buildings in town.
