Images from around

our wintery wonderland on Christmas Day

some images from 116th street, Columbia campus again.


of course all the snow has been washed away, and we have had some temperatures of minus 18 degrees celsius...quite cold enough for NYC, I think!

We headed down to the local Catholic church on Christmas Day to their midday mass because it was in English (so many have Spanish services), and because it was the only local service we could find for Christmas Day, as a lot of churchs have their services on Christmas Eve...a bit hard to take baby out past his bedtime!

Hi Annie, I enjoyed your NYC images. I like the ornate trim on the buildings. I also notice that even with the cold temps, someone has their window open to get fresh air! Happy New Year to you and Family!

yes, Barb, I noticed that...that was taken at the Columbia uni campus...perhaps they overheat their rooms, like our apartment here...the colder it gets outside, the hotter it gets inside!!

Hi Annie: thanks for stopping by, yes this angel is one of my most favorite paintings. I had this need to make it my Christmas card this year so there it is.
