A Walk In The Park
The average annual snowfall in New York City is 28 inches. Almost that much snow fell on one weekend in February, 2006. On February 11th and 12th of 2006, a total of 26.9 inches of snow fell on Central Park. It was the largest snowfall recorded since record keeping began in 1869.
To speed removal of snow throughout the city, diesel powered snow melting machines were used, each of which melted sixty tons of snow per hour. The resulting water went directly into the sewer system.
By Wednesday of that week, Central Park recorded a high temperature of 52 degrees.WalkTheParkBuildingCentral ParkCityFenceGary Rickettsgrickettsgricketts.comLocationManhattanNatureNew YorkNew York CityNYOther KeywordsPhotography by Gary RickettsSeasonSnowStructuresTreeWinterFine Art PhotographynycUniqueCapturing History Through Photographystorminterior designhttpsphotographybygaryricketts.comWall Art

Snow Day in the Park
The average annual snowfall in New York City is 28 inches. Almost that much snow fell on one weekend in February, 2006. On February 11th and 12th of 2006, a total of 26.9 inches of snow fell on Central Park. It was the largest snowfall recorded since record keeping began in 1869.
To speed removal of snow throughout the five boroughs, diesel powered snow melting machines were used, each of which melted sixty tons of snow per hour. The resulting water went directly into the sewer system.
Throughout it all, Broadway theaters and movie theaters remained open. However, getting there was a bit of challenge, as service into and out of Penn Station was temporarily stopped, and Metro-North shut down for part of the day. There were extensive subway delays and the city’s bus service ran at 50% capacity. Despite the transportation interruptions, no serious storm-related injuries were reported.SnowDaytheParkCentral ParkCityGary Rickettsgrickettsgricketts.comLocationManhattanNatureNew YorkNew York CityNYOther KeywordsPhotography by Gary RickettsSeasonWinterFine Art PhotographynycFoginterior designhttpsphotographybygaryricketts.comUniqueWall Art

Frozen Willow
To the left of the tree is the San Remo luxury co-op, one of the most prestigious addresses in Manhattan. The San Remo began Construction in 1929, weeks before the Wall Street market crash. When the building was completed the city and the country were rapidly slipping into the Great Depression. In 1940, the San Remo together with another building were sold, for $25,000 total to cover the existing mortgages.
Residents have included Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs, Demi Moore, Glenn Close, Dustin Hoffman, Bono, Steve Martin, Bruce Willis, and Eddie Cantor. Rita Hayworth spent her last years in the San Remo.FrozenWillowCentral ParkSnowNew YorkManhattanWinterTreeBuildingNew York CityCapturing History Through PhotographyGary Rickettsgrickettsgricketts.comPhotography by Gary RickettsNYSmugmug

See The Face
Ever notice how often you see a face on inanimate objects? It’s called face pareidolia. Researchers believe face pareidolia is a visual illusion. People see faces in things because the brain uses the same visual mechanisms to read emotional expression in human faces. Face pareidolia, in studies, has even been observed in monkeys. In 2004, a ten year old cheese sandwich was sold for $28,000 on eBay because it had the face of the Virgin Mary on it.

Fetch
Cleopatra's Needle is reflected in the huge glass wall that is the Central Park side of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
In 1880, the Metropolitan Museum of Art moved to its current site in Central Park. The original Gothic-Revival-style building has greatly expanded in size since then. The various additions (built as early as 1888) now completely surround the original structure. The present facade and entrance structure along Fifth Avenue were completed in 1926.FetchAnimalsBuildingCentral ParkCityDogGary RickettsGlassgrickettsgricketts.comLocationManhattanNatureNew YorkNew York CityNYOther KeywordsPhotography by Gary RickettsReflectionSeasonSnowTreeWindowWinternycFine Art PhotographyCapturing History Through PhotographyUniquestorminterior designhttpsphotographybygaryricketts.comWall Art

Walking and Talking
Manhattan, the New York City borough where the tourists come, is loud, busy, crowded, and full of restless energy. However, when the heavy winter snows come forcing commuters to stay away, the city becomes magically quite, peaceful and relaxing. The most adventurous New Yorkers are known to take a stroll through the falling snow.

ATM Green
This newsstand at Columbus Circle, with its ornate tapered roof, was used in a scene by Woody Allen in “Bullets Over Broadway”. Of the 1,500 newsstands in New York City in 1940, only 280 remained in 2008.
The Columbus Circle newsstand’s ATM, candy, soda, magazines, newspapers, and lottery ticket sales came to an end in December of 2011.
It is now a rental office for a bicycle rental company, Bike and Roll, which pays a fee of $30,000 or 10.5 percent of gross revenues per year. The former newsstand operator paid the city $120,000 in 2010.ATMGreenBuildingCentral ParkCityFenceGary Rickettsgrickettsgricketts.comLocationManhattanNatureNew YorkNew York CityNYOther KeywordsPhotography by Gary RickettsSeasonSnowStructuresTreeWinterFine Art PhotographynycUniqueCapturing History Through Photographystorminterior designhttpsphotographybygaryricketts.comWall Art
