We all know how I hate to miss a weekly email on Friday - but I did - so here is the "make-up" one.

I was at a wedding in St. Lucia and cannot help but share two pics from the wedding for the weekly.

I was just a guest - but I snapped a few shots while there this week (ok 1600 is not a few) and here are two of the many favorites.  Now the editing, key-wording and uploading process begins!

Hope you all have a great week - big day for the nation tomorrow.

The first week back to the grind was not particularly exciting - but life on the streets had me looking around my fair city.

The shots here speak to two thoughts.

The AT&T building certainly makes you ask yourself how bad is your office - do you have a window view??  I have a feeling this is where a bunch of the data is collected on our phone calls to and from NYC.

The other shot is of the rail yard leading into Penn Station.  It's amazing so many tracks come from under the Hudson River and into Penn - and this is part of the area being discussed as getting covered and used as "new" land for development on the west side (that may be scrapped with the 2009 economic outlook)

I hope everyone had a great new year's eve.  Next week goes back to the normal routine with work and life in our economically challenged environment.

I thought about what kind of resolution would be a good one and realized we're all probably guilty sometime of checking our cell phone or blackberry at lunch/dinner when out with friends.  Even my six year old nephew is addicted to the blackberry as you see here.

So a good resolution for 2009 is to pay more attention to others and less to the crackberry (when in social situations of course!).

ps - kidding about Simon and the blackberry - though he is a busy executive.

Happy and healthy holiday to all - no matter what you celebrate! 

Today is Boxing Day, First Day of Kwanzaa, 6th day of Hanukkah, the "2nd Black Friday" (retailers hope), and of course the day after Christmas.  (Sorry if I missed your holiday.)

Hope you had a great time with friends and family no matter what the celebration.

This is a first on the weekly email.  I've decided to send a follow up of the earlier image to show how the weather changed over the course of the day!  Flights cancelled.  Businesses closing early, and a heck of a commute for those in their cars.

Yesterday while I was walking the city streets I looked down to see the usual colors on the sidewalk from gas, oils, misc detergents, etc forming this rainbow of colors.

So while probably not a good thing for our eco-system - here is a colorful picture of the week to ponder.

Last night while it was raining on the streets - it was snowing 800 feet above.  The view out the window on the 64th floor was a great one and here it is.

This week while on the LIE heading home I snapped a quick picture thinking I would catch the sun dropping out of the clouds.  Turns out as the folks were bunched up commuting a plane also flew by, and I enjoyed the chance composition.

This week I decided to head out for work with a fish-eye lens knowing I would be near the flatiron building.  As i took the shot of the building I heard a slight commotion and noticed a bunch of naval cadets unrolling a huge flag for the veteran's day parade.  So I hopped over and ducked under for a different shot of the 106 year old building.

Each year the NYC Marathon brings the excitement of 38,000+ runners pacing down our streets.  The scene at the finish line in Central Park is always a special one.

I always enjoy time lapse images and this subject matter makes you reflect on a day we all remember.
