As within any major city one will find surprises to brought forth by the changing weather. Okay, ok, so the wet, dreary mood of a Summer Storm is nothing new to us native New Yorkers but to the uninitiated non city-dwellers it can be a rude awakening. Things always seem to slow down a bit during a storm in NYC even though they'll appear to be speeding up at the same time.
In the photos above we'll begin with the first
one which was taken at and around the Rockefeller Plaza area only minutes
after this particular storm began. Yours truly had to rush into the local
storm and pay way beyond top dollar for a cheap umbrella...'but I made
it through in dry shape!
The next two photographs capture street scenes on this rainy day in midtown
Manhattan around the area of 5th Avenue. One photo features a bike messenger
braving the hazardous traffic followed by the other filled with the sea
of taxi cabs cruising down the street.
Then there's the next photo taken along Madison Avenue with passing express
buses heading to the Bronx during this afternoon rush-hour.
