Two unattributed photos, the first of the New York City skyline in 1940; the second of the Manhattan Bridge.
They grace my doctor's office. He absolutely loves NYC. As do I!

I like these a lot, Mary. They take me to a different time and place.
I love to see old photos of a city (especially if I am familiar with it) to see how much has changed over the years.
I love that skyline (and the great city, too). Hope you are feeling well, Mary!
Beautiful, Mary!
Have a great week.
I love that city and the old pictures are so special
These are both great New York photographs Mary. It's funny because I've considered photographing art in my doctor's office but usually there are too many people around and I'm afraid they'll think I'm photographing them.
I love NYC and these photos are delightful and like Sandy, they take me to a different time and place! Have a wonderful week, Mary!

A city I would love to explore but alas, Hubby cares not for the city. A native of the Bronx he left and doesn't look back.
Would love to spend time in NYC just pounding its pavement and shooting to my heart's content.
Have a wonderful week, teach.
They are great photos, I grew up there its a great city.
I could get lost in those pictures waiting for the doctor to see me :)
Great pictures well-preserved! Taken a decade before I existed.
i like seeing old photos of places I know. They usually show what happened between now and then. Nice captures!
Oh, what great photos of New York way back then.
great photos Mary! I feel the same way.
Lovely photos, very restful on the eye.
Cheers.
