Rockefeller Center Christmas tree 2018 New York |
2020 is winding down, and I sit at home after one of the quietest Christmas's in my life. (Thanks, Pandemic.) Since I traveled little this year, I'm sharing more photos from my 2018 New York City trip. I loved the Christmas decorations and window displays I saw. It was the only time I had been to New York City in December.
 |
NYC Liholts Pooley Pool Ornament Display |
The Liholts Pooley Pool / fountain on 6th Ave (Avenue of the Americas) gets decorated each December with oversized ornaments, and is located near the Radio City Music Hall.
 |
New York Ornament Display near Radio City Music Hall |
The 5+ story tree decoration up the side of Radio City changes colors, changing the reflections in the water as well.
 |
New York City Light Display |
Another light display near the Radio City Music Hall featured 3 blue Reindeer. (Notice the Radio City Sign at the far right)
 |
New York Saks building Christmas Display |
One block East on 5th Avenue the Saks building has a beautiful multi-story light display. The designers create a different castle "look" each year.
 |
New York Saks building and Angel |
The lights and colors on Saks castle change quickly with a light and sound show coordinated to music...
 |
2018 Saks Building and Angels |
A line of Angels decorates a pedestrian corridor between the Saks building and the Rockefeller Center ice rink where the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree stands.
(This shot was taken after a rain around 11:30pm, shortly before they turned off the lights on the Rockefeller Center tree to make people go away. Photographers-be aware of the timing.)
 |
NYC Rockefeller Christmas Tree and Angels |
This photo looks down the center of the pedestrian walkway towards the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.

The
Rockefeller Christmas Tree above the ice Rink glows brighter than this
photo shows, and the entire area seems filled with energy.

The photo above of the top half of the tree is my best attempt to recreate the colors and impact of the actual tree. (Yes, this shot is overexposed.)
 |
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree day before Lighting
|
The evening before the Rockefeller Center Tree lighting ceremony I was able to take this photo over the ice rink, but I wasn't able to get this angle once the tree was lit.
 |
Anthropologie Window Display
|
The nearby window displays where stunning as well. The Anthropologie window display was just beautiful. It used 3D paper craft to create a forest scene with birch trees, evergreens and forest animals.
 |

I loved the way the woodland animals and birds were drawn.

|
The simple paper cutouts for the foliage were fantastically assembled.

The paper artist in me was entranced by the simplicity and the impact of the designs.

I hope to use the ideas I saw to inspire some of my creations.

Look at the beauty of the simple line art above and be inspired.

FAO Schwartz Window Display - JOY
|
A nearby FAO Schwartz window display sparkled with seasonal JOY. Again, simplicity can be stunning.

Another Christmas Window display referenced the Chrysler Building's Art Deco lines.

Above is a free Christmas desktop Background / Wallpaper I made using the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Enjoy!
