The Rockefeller Building is the headquarters of NBC, as well as many other businesses. Radio City Music Hall is across the street and it plays host to many concerts and award shows during the year. You can't walk a few feet without seeing something that you recognize in this place.

The plan was to take in as much of the city that we could in a span of a day. My Dad had already been here, but Jenny and I had not, so we had to everything that a 1st timer would do. That thought led us into Central Park, where we spent the next hour or so wandering around.

There were all these jagged rocks sticking out of the ground in Central Park which makes me believe that they were here before NYC was urbanized. It's really neat that they left this area "virtually untouched" and allowed it to remain close to it's natural state. Behind me you can easily see where the city ends and the park begins. Do yourself a favor when you are viewing this and pull up a map of central park. Do a Google image search and check out how huge it is. It's almost like a world unto itself. It is really hard to believe that  place like this exists within the mega metropolis that is known as New York City. Something like this could never happen in Wisconsin. 

We walked around in the park, and reveled in it's glory. It was seasonably warm for a March day, and since it was March, everything was still rather dull. It would be nice to see what this place looks like when there are leaves on the trees and the flowers are in full bloom. I bet that it is beautiful. I fancy myself as having a good eye for taking nice pictures, which is why I chose to have one of Father and Daughter taking an afternoon stroll and this other one of Bridge over Troubled Concrete. 

It's only page 3, and according to some picture critics, I've already taken way too many pictures. I fault the Best Buy employees for allowing me to purchase a film-less camera. Without the number boundaries that conventional film cameras have, I am free to take pictures until my battery dies. That is usually the only thing that stops me when I am on a picture taking rampage. Look out how beautiful these pictures turned out and I bet you are glad that I live in a world without rules.
