My dear fellows PNEH, hoa si, thi si and art critic Mr. GQ, One of my most favorite places in Manhattan is the very romantic Grand Central Terminal where I spent many lunch hours walking around, to look at its ceilings and lights, take pictures of the people, the building and the shops, and sometimes buy my lunches at its food market. Here is my collage in tribute of the GCT.
The photo of the Gemini constellation on the ceiling is for my twin BiTi, Trang and all fellows Geminis; since the Cancer is right next to it, the photo is also for all the Cancer members of the Forum to enjoy :-). The day I took the photo of its big windows, there was some people who were probably doing some restoration survey, standing high up there, across the windows area. I thought to myself how lucky I was to be at the right time, as this added to the coolness of the windows. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you could see some of the people wearing hard hats and holding most probably some architecture plans.
The chandelier in the shape of branches is right at the Lexington entrance of the GCT Market.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday

Hello Mai Chau
ReplyDeleteNothing more iconic, representative of the New York local scene,
a reflection of Gotham, the Big Apple, than the famed, distinguished
Grand Central Terminal that stood the test of time
Such a captivating, refreshing new look at a historic crossroad,
a well known meeting place, a slice of Bright Light, Big City of sort,
seen from various angles, under different lights
The vintange lamp on the outside, the bright, shining clock inside well in tune with time, the sparkling, fluorescent chandelier seemingly suspended in time, the picturesque Gemini constellation adorning the ceiling,
all the charming, little facets that added a touch of classic elegance,
a youthful luster to a grand symbol of New York City

MC ,ton montage de la gare centrale de NYC est très poétique, je suis juste passée avec Quang il y a 2 ans pour raccompagner Thuy Hoà qui prenait son train de minuit après notre diner dans le chinatown et l 'ai trouvé bien moins sompteux
ReplyDeleteJ' aime les couleurs et le lustre central en forme de branches d' arbres, très original pour une gare !

My dear MC,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the best shots of one of my favorite places
To appreciate the Grand Central Terminal, the heart of NYC,
at its right value, one must have seen its famous story told by
an architect,whose name ? , revealing every detail ,passionately.
It also reminds me of " La Mort aux Trousses" with Cary Grant.
Falling in Love ( De Niro & M. Streep), Carlito's Way ( Al Pacino)...
Thank you MC for the beautiful collage of GCT ,in all its splendor,
rejuvenated and restored.
Amitiés, CTT
