Old Fashioned Lanterns Of New York City


Old Fashioned Lanterns - Orange Cloud

This double lantern makes a beautiful counterpoint in silhouette, below the orange cloud lit by a setting sun in a still-blue and aqua sky.

Old Fashioned Lanterns - Flickering Candle

This coach light hints of a flickering candle to light the night to come, shining a warm light home.



Old Fashioned Lanterns - Shy Sentinel

One lantern shyly peeks from behind a puffy green tree, marking a fork in the path to a cozy apartment.

The work is a part of a series I recently published in an online newsletter detailing the old-fashioned, picturesque lanterns in the village near my home.

Have A Break


The Coffee Drinker

The peace of a quiet, thoughtful afternoon is a welcome break from the rest of the day, to be alone with one's thoughts, even though others swirl around like a curlicue of cream in one's coffee. Just another day in the cafes of New York.

Lunch Counter With Glass Window

A cool glass of water, shelter on a warm summer's day ... this might be in Venice, it might be in France, but it happens to be in Soho, New York ... a little sidewalk cafe, tucked away on a side street in a little known spot in the area. Just another lazy afternoon in the city.



Lunch Counter With Glass Window

Another taken during my lunch hour break from jury duty, last year ... there were many great New York City pizza places, restaurants, and diners, and this was one of them. This is in downtown Manhattan. A perfect way to relax with a slice of za, a Coca Cola, enjoy the sun, and then get back to work!

Dinner At Eight

This is one of the sights of New York, with one of its superheroes: in this case, a restaurant hostess, looking to see who will walk into that door for an evening of food, beverage, and fine dining. Just another day in New York City.

Springtime In NYC by Miriam Danar

A Little Bit Of Spring In The City

Spring is busting out all over; even the buildings seem to be jumping for joy as both branches and bricks stretch to the sky. We can look forward to more blossoms appearing as the days get warmer and spring advances!

Springtime In New York 8

This beautiful blossoming tree is seen in silhouette against the hard lines of tall city buildings, just as the first spring blooms are beginning to appear. It makes for a lovely abstract, almost like a Japanese print.

Springtime In New York 3 - New York City Street Scene

This is part of my Springtime in New York series ... there are many images that you can find here on my site. I was surprised to find so much of the natural world breaking through the brick and concrete of the city's winter face; a welcome sight after many months of ice, cold, and snow. No matter: spring is here, and the warmth of summer is not far behind! This was taken in midtown Manhattan on my daily photographic treasure hunt.
