Morning View - Times Square

I grabbed these shots this morning on my way home from the Saint's NYE party, which I'll review later today once I decipher my notes. The pole behind the "2008" is the one the ball drops down, but I guess security whisks the ball away immediately after midnight, since it's made of dilithium crystals or gold pressed latinum or whatever.

There's something rather otherworldly about waltzing out of an all-night strobe and laser-intensive dance party into the heart of a deserted and confetti-strewn Times Square. Very Omega Man, only with taxis. The sky was a kindly blanket of grey clouds, sparing party-goers their usual brain-stab from Allah's Angry Flashlight. الله أَكْبَر.
