New York City, Times Square, 46th street looking north to South East by Don

Mayor Bloomberg has closed sections of Broadway near Times Square, this is the smartest thing any Mayor of New York has ever done!!! Now there are chairs, tables and chairs, and just plain open space for people to wander around in, stop, sit down, and take in the surroundings. Before you were limited to a few feet of sidewalk, with cars, trucks & buses whizzing all around you. This view is of the East side of Times Square as seen from 46th Street. In the past this gigapan would have been impossible to take, because its from the middle of Broadway! The stitcher had some minor problems with all the movement at grade level, but overall I like the image. Search on “drh” for more Times Square gigapans (being posted in June 2009) .
