Columbus Circle Globe

Columbus Circle is at the corner of Central Park at 59th Street and 8th Avenue and is an interesting area, I think I remember reading once it is the geographical center of NYC, and for this post I will focus on the globe on one of the corners , well since its a circle perhaps I should say on the edge of Columbus Circle.
Let me start with a shot looking up at the globe

The globe is by Artist Kim Grandell and was installed in 2009

And since it is Sepia Saturday hosted by @old-guy--photos here is a shot of it in Sepia, I could not find out how tall the globe is online but this shot showing a person in the shot gives some idea of how big it is

And a last shot of it in Mono showing again the full sculpture and some of the tall buildings behind it, the one under construction is I believe Central Park Tower which will be one of the tallest buildings in NYC, but I will talk more about that in a future post

I have no idea why I was using an aperture of f22 for these shots I guess it was too early in the morning and y brain wasn't really in gear lOL

And that’s all folks
