Lobby, Parker Meridien Hotel, New York City
(Equally as stunning in color on Visual Venturing.) The perks of accompanying my husband on a recent business trip to New York City: staying in a Manhattan hotel with this amazing lobby. Sitting on the opposite side waiting for our names to be called for lunch in the hotel restaurant, I just had to take a picture — as much for the stunning mirrored architecture as for the two suited gentlemen busy on their respective electronic devices.

Rarely do I say this but I think this time around I like the colour a little better. The softness of those pinks add something. BUT not to take away a magnificent shot. The black and white lends itself, with all those different textures, patterns and architecture, to being highlighted so brilliantly in BW…

And now you see why I posted it both in color and black and white, Kaz. I couldn’t make up my mind! I kinda like it when a shot works both ways though 🙂

Your bnw white has such an elegant and classic feel to it Stacy, a shame almost the men are wearing suits and not carved out of marble!

Hahaha, good point, Patti 😀 But, alas, that would have made for a less fun color photo 😉 Thanks!

LOL! I know, Boomdee 😀 The color photo would have been totally different if they had not been wearing matching colors. Perfect timing that I was there when they were there!

I could have spent a few hours in this magnificence just people watching, but of course, the actual city beckoned – and rightfully so 😀 Thanks, Desley!

This is a spectacular image Stacy 🙂 What a gorgeous hotel and it was right across the street from the south entrance to Central Park if memory memory serves me right. Great work.

Thanks, Joe 😃 Well, it was a few blocks south of the south entrance, but close enough!

I’m just continually bowled over by the quality of these Fuji shots. OK, and the shooter’s artistry! I saw this first in b&w so I think this is my favorite. But I could be easily persuaded otherwise. 🙂

It was supposedly shipped yesterday. If so, then about 10 days. Around July 8!
