A roundabout walk to work passing by the Rockefeller Center
This morning as another grey day with light rain falling whenI got of the train, well it was more like a misty rain, not really raining but you could feel he dampness in the air, but I decided to go on a little detour on my way to the office, which took me by the Rockefeller Center because I wanted to check out a new art piece that I had heard was there, now I did take some photos of it with y Camera but forgot to get one with my phone, and besides this is more about my actifit steps and the walk.
While there I saw on one of the passages they have these bird pieces on display above the bushes, and what was cool about this shot andI didn't notice it when I took it is the real bird flying but overhead above on of the buildings

Now I mentioned it was a bit of a roundabout walk, well I think by now you know most of my walks I tend to go roundabout and not direct, but i used the outside walk tracking again this morning to create this map which shows how round about it was

Now that isnt all my Walking for the day Just on my way to the Office, I did some walking during the day and was running around picking up a few things this evening as well
As I said it was a damp morning and this shows in the next photo, this is one of the News station, NBC I believe and they have often big crowds outdoors to watch the show and be seen on the news, well as you can see in the next shot there was not many people outside there today

I mentioned the New Big art piece which I cannot share today since i did not get a photo of it with my phone but it was one of I think 21 Pieces on display at the Rockefeller Center as part of the Frieze Sculpture Exhibit, I took shots of many of the pieces with my camera which will be in a future post, but this next shot you can see a few of the pieces.

Now many may have visited the Rock over the Christmas New Year period and seen the ice skating rink, bot for the rest of the year it looks quite different as this next shot shows it is a seating area for a restaurant there.

Yes! The birds are so cool! It was clickbait!!! I couldn't believe my eyes, and I should have listened to them.
You really do a fair amount of walking before you even start your day, don't you? I thought I did a lot, but, just looking at yours, I don't hold a candle to it. I have been guilty of standing in the NBC crowd, but, the best was Good Morning America when they had a heart for Valentines and focused in on the crowd, so they took shots of me twice while I was there and my mom saw me. Which was kind of cool. :) Here she thought I was working.
They also have the tables but, up above in the winter. I like it in the summer months to sit and grab a bite of overpriced, yet oh-so-elegant lunch. The pieces already look pretty cool, so I can hardly wait to see them and the Prometheus Statue - very cool.
You outdid yourself today. You made me tired!
Thanks for being the best guide ever for @steemusa!
!tip
First off I think I may be the second best guide but not the best :)
Secondly thanks for the tip :)
I have seen the crowds at both but never been in the crowds I hate crowds and don't want to be in front of the camera even in a crowd :)
But that is so cool your mum saw you on TV ;)
this morning I walked 1,7 Miles before work, not huge but not small either i guess, I normally do at least 1 mile before work, but somedays if its a nice day its a lot longer
I love your roundabout loopy walking trail. :D
The past few years they started putting a mini-rink downtown here (Denver) too, but I've never skated on it. I should next winter, I miss ice skating. Last winter I wandered around in a Yule market downtown, and I somehow missed the ice rink. I'm honestly not 100% certain where they put it, I just have seen the signs for it as I'm walking. XD
Where I grew up there was no ice skating rinks and I only ever tried it a few years ago and I discovered I do not have as good a sense of balance as I thought I did
These days I am happy to watch others skating from the sidelines lol
And my mornings walks I go all directions lol
I didn't get to try it until college, when there was actually a class I could take for gym credits! I loved it. I had always wanted to learn since I was really young watching the olympics.
I can't do anything fancy, but I have lots of fun. ^_^
Having fun is what is most important I believe nit everyone can do the fancy things
Thanks for the resteem appreciated

Want to have your post on the map too?
Oh wow, I thought those were real birds! That’s really cool. I love the corner building too. Great post!

They are a cool feature they have up at the moment its the first time I have seen them, the buildings are all part of the Rockefeller Center
I love metro art!
Posted using Partiko iOS
You may have noticed I love it as well 👍😎👍
Yes, and thank you for sharing your fabulous findings!
Always a pleasure to share them some more coming in my morning post soon
@tattoodjay, In my opinion Lighter rain gives more explorative and enjoyable essence. Keep enjoying and stay blessed.
Posted using Partiko Android
I do agree with you, not so much on the way to work if you get wet through, but this morning was more like a damp mist not ideal for photo taking but lovely for a walk :)
Good to know these words. When there is lighter rain i take a pleasant walk.
Well, to be honest, it was more of a mist than rain for the most part but still so pleasant for walking
Have a blessed time ahead. 👍
I will do my best :)
👍
Before I opened your post to read, I thought those were real birds you had photographed. :) how realistic till you are close enough to see the wires.
I had to google the Prometheus statue to see what it was made of. It is so bright !
they are a cool feature they have added first time I have seen them I am not sure how long they will be there and if there part of the exhibit on there at the moment
Yes with the spot light son it on my phone the Prometheus statue came out to bridge, hopefully, the shots I got with my camera will be better
That's quite a walkabout today @tattoodjay! And, quite a lot of art and misty mystery. I hope you can enjoy some sunshine soon enough! Nice actift count!! Keep up the great walking. Steem on!!
LOl Yeah many walk quickly from A to B, I tend to go from A to J to f to M and then eventually to B :)
The forecast says we may even see the sun for a while tomorrow I am looking forward to it :)
Nice! Do you know your Chinese zodiak sign? I am curious to know! I enjoy your adventurous attitude! 🤹♂️ #funandgames
I think I am the year of the Rat 🐀 is that what you mean
I think I should have been monkey 🐒 😂
Next year is your year 😉 i do think rat is fitting now that you say it. But, i have to be honest.... i had the notion you're a monkey 😂
LOL really I dont think I have ever looked up the characteristic of the animals, but I will take your word for it
Maybe I have picked a good year to retire then :)
I know noting, it's entertainment to me. That means Your yoga practice is coming soon! That's great news 🤹♂️🌱🐝
I've never seen the skating rink in the summer without ice! That is cool to see. And I love the birds! I can't wait to see more!
I thought that may be the case the busiest time of the year for the Rock is the winter months, so I guess many had not seen it like this
I've been there as early as Halloween, but it already had ice on it then. I've never seen the tables.
I forgot how early they set up the ice rink
Most of my NYC trips were after Thanksgiving as we combined the theater with Christmas shopping, but being there in the fall was such a beautiful time. I do think you should take an evening carriage ride through the park, just so you can say you did it!
It’s nice to see anytime of year and yes I must stay into evening one day and do the carriage ride fir sure
Have you done the tour at Rockefeller Center? It was fun to see the TV studios and all the artwork in the building.
At least you don't have to worry about any bird droppings from those birds! Kind of a neat piece. You definitely never run out of fun things to photograph!

LOL yes that is true, and a huge bonus, I have been the target of birds a few times in the city LOL, so it was safe and not a worry to walk under these
and yes thats the cool thing with NYC there is always something new to see :)
That is the center like I remember it. I like that first photo. It looks like it could be an album cover.
Posted using Partiko Android
I guess how you remember is dependent on the time of year you visit there, I must admit when I saw the birds the song Free Bird did come to mind

That's a pretty nice 'start your day' walk. That is what Sam and I put in on the streets getting to and from the desert. Then I walk a ways farther while he runs and digs his way around a big loop :)
I'm really looking forward to your 'exhibition' of the new pieces at Rockefeller Center. The teasers today were mighty good.
How lucky Ng my Walk is before work all depends on how early my first meeting is or how busy I expect to be but I allow time for at least a 20 minute walk before heading to the office each day
It may be a while before I get to edit and share the photos I am so behind on editing photos

Hello @tattoodjay
Beautiful photographs around the Rockefeller Center. thanks for share beautiful photographs my friend..
16k is good number...
Thanks and yes I did a good number of steps yesterday today is so busy i know it will be a lot less but i hope to make 10K at least
Congratulations @tattoodjay!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
Thanks always an honor to make the list :)
I like the Prometheus statue JJ.
Glad that you share great photos and interesting stories with your actifit card my friend. Many share only the card and it's very boring!
Blessings!
I ust admit the just sharing the card which at first I though was all you could do was what put me off doing actifit posts, but now that I can do posts with photos all beit prepared elsewhere then copied into actifit app I am happy using it
These shots do not do the statue justice hopefully the ones I got with my camera wound have it so bright so it can be appreciated better
Nice sculptures! The birds are a bit deceiving on first look! On the thumbnail, I didn't see the wires, but then it is quite clear on the larger photo!
Yes those are sneaky birds well the wires I didn’t notice them at first either with the light at the time
Awesome photography of Rockefeller Center and i like your seating area for a restaurant.
Thanks kindly it is such a nice area

Stone the Crows, just a wild guess, not sure what would live in the city with you...
Prometheus Statue is awesome with strong mystical features, looks like you had an eventful walk-about today.
Stone the Crows i love that :)
Yesterday’s walk was nice todays morning walk was a bust but that I will explain later lOL
The shots of Prometheus in this post I am not happy with n my phone photo it came out so bright, will see whatI got with my camera when I get. Chance i hope I got some good ones as I love that statue
.. and I thought those were real vultures in the sky for a sec!
Well in NYC you just never know 😎
