If you have your Picture This Photography Calendar these are your March 2023 images collectively title “Cute Corners of The Village”
One of the best ways to see New York is to walk around with no particular plan as the world will unfold countless opportunities and gorgeous places right in front of you! Walking around The Village streets is one of my favourite ways to explore as there is always a new cafe, shop, store, bar or restaurant to see and the light is ever-changing. I have never taken the same photograph of the same place as the mood & the light always gives a different vibe.
Cute corners have an extra special wow factor and I am always on the look out for new fascinating facades. Colours & signage always catch my eyed my favourite time to wander is early morning before the world awakes & crowds arrive. While these 4 images were all captured on different days they collectively compliment each other.
