Icy NYC by Gehry

Back to Toronto ... so my whirlwind trip to NYC is now sadly over.  Of course, my New York experience would have been terribly deficient without seeing some architecture there.  I actually did not have time to walk around the city to dig out the buildings I like.  But I did get the chance to casually encounter some.  I'll share those here and in my future posts.

Frank Gehry has greatly enhanced the coolness factor of NYC by bringing "icebergs" and "ice columns" to this awesome city ...
