Real nice, Bill!  I am reminded that more and more, people are living down in lower Manhattan -- old office buildings are being converted to apartments.  That would be a neat place to live, I think.  Where is that church -- I recall it might be facing toward Ellis Island, near Castle Garden?

[Bill Smith]

The church is actually a small shrine opposite Battery Park. Next door used to be a private residence, I just found it interesting you had two buildings over 200 years old next to office towers built maybe sometime in the 1970s. That's what I love about NYC is the easy coexistence between the old and new.

Bill, these are excellent.  Beautiful exposures, beautiful compositions.  I wish I'd been a photographer when I lived in New  York, but that didn't happen until I got to Texas.

Wonderful work. I love working with the square and these are great uses of it. Almost enough to make me want to visit there...

I want to go back to NYC. :cool:
