I’m not sure which I like better. The second feels more ‘urban’ to me, the other hints at too many other things. Both well done.
Different kinds of urban… :-)

The first photo shows us a way to escape the urban scenes. I would take that street any time :)
That street leads down to the port where the giant cruise ships dock… that’s certainly one way to escape! ;-)
Wow, both excellent pictures :-)
Thanks!
great photos you got here!
both of them exude urban life!
Thanks so much! :-)

summer and winter urban shots! cool!
Yes, it’s quite a contrast… especially if you get on a plane in the middle of February and in just three hours you make the transition from the second urban scene to the first :-)
Love love love these!!
Excellent! :-) :-)
Wow these are fabulous!
Thanks, Gilly!!
Nice, nice ,both very nice, I especially like the first one. The power lines, the truck blocking the street and shipping lanes in the background have the feel of Urban to me.
You’ve obviously examined it very carefully! :-) Yes, I like these kinds of complicated, even chaotic, urban scenes…. the tangle of overhead power lines is especially evocative!
NY in snow and sun – lovely!
Thanks, Shaanthz! Snow in NYC is always special—I hear we are due for some real snow this winter, unlike the last :-)
Yes, I heard that too – harsh and brutal winter ahead of us. Last year was unbelievable with one major snowstorm in October, remember?
Yes, the pre-Halloween storm :-)
Really cool! Nice job and thanks for the recommendation! :)
You are most welcome!
I love these photos. Definitely urban.
Especially the second one, about as urban as it gets!
It’s very beautiful
Thank you, and thank you for subscribing to our blog!
Two excellent and diverse views of the urban landscape. Well done!
Thank you, Galen!
Nice photos
Thanks!!
What a wonderful contrast between two fantastic urban scenes!
But they coexist—in just three hours on the plane, you can get from the snowy city to the tropical one :-)
Beautiful urban shots Vlad! Appreciate the pingback.
You are most welcome, Madhu—I really liked “The Barrio of Kitsch”!
Vladimir, I especially like the second photo with the snow! But like Patti, I love the contrast…the color in the first photo seems “warm” and the second cold…
Thanks for the pingback too! :-)
You are right about the colors! It’s probably also because the second photo was taken as it was getting dark—and in NYC on a late winter afternoon the light can be very blue—whereas the first was taken in the middle of the day…

I like the contrast of the photos, really nice shots.
Thanks so much!
These are perfect urban images!
As are yours—just saw them!
Really like how the traffic lights in the second one sort of guide your eyes into the picture…nice shots.
Yes, and they are all red! Nicely synchronized (hopefully they will all turn green eventually…)!
Amazing shot ,hanks for sharing :)
Thanks I mean :)
Understood, and thank you, Jake! :-)
Thanks Vladimir ,I think I need a keyboard replacement
lol, Have a nice weekend my friend :)
You too!
What a terrific winter shot with down toward the Pan Am building. (OK, MetLife building) with all the red lights, silhouettes walking and sliding about and the single cab. Wonderful!
And the Christmas trees… this was in December… :-)
You got it all!

Love your urban photos. That snow is incredible. I’ve never seen New York like that. :)
Every winter, once or twice at least… just have to get out there with the camera the next day while it’s still nice and snowy!
Stunning. I don’t blame you. :)
I like the snowy street …
Thanks, Frizz!
very nice Manhattan with the snow !
Max
Thanks, Max!
I could get vertigo looking down the street in that first shot :-) Nice ones for the challenge.
It’s partly a telephoto lens effect, in both shots. But yes, the first street is a little steep…
I’ve been to Old San Juan. Great picture!!!
Love your own “Urban” shots :-) Thanks for following our blog!
Awesome shots! I have a nighttime shot of that MetLife building… TY for the pingback! :-)
You are most welcome, Elizabeth! Yes, that building just draws the eye, and the camera…

Love the NYC photo
Thank you!!
Very nice. Thanks for the reference! :)
You are very welcome!
don’t know where that first shot is from but LOVE the shot of Park Ave and the Pan Am (I mean, the Met Life) building in the snow.
The first shot is from far away from any snow… San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The second one is truly stunning – I would have this on my wall as a large print…
:-) Feel free to make a large print…
I may very well do that :-)
Thank you!
Like. (Your Like button wouldn’t let me Like this post because it said I wasn’t logged on, even though I am.) Nice pics. You caught the spirit of the day.
Thanks, Cris!
I love both photos as themselves, but the contrast is especially wonderful. The irony of the Great City brought to its knees (or to its snowshoes) —
It happens every winter. Of course, Park Avenue (in the second photo), in the heart of the upscale Upper East Side, is one of the first streets to be cleared of snow. The outer boroughs sometimes wait for days….
Nice contrast in photos, I love both cities! Beautiful!
Thank you! :-)
These are gorgeous! They should be framed.
Or better still, posted on the Internet…
