Those are all great photos. This one is my favorite... I really need to learn how to take decent nighttime photos. Outstanding clarity and colors!

I agree with red on the mystery one (and girl... I am laughing every time you post with that avi - hahahaha), its definitely Europe. My guess is Prague. Is that the castle we can see in the background?

Thumbs up thanks for posting...

Wonderful pictures, to be sure. Thanks for posting.

Anybody have some good shots of 5th Ave. at night? Mine never seem to turn out very well since I obviously have no clue of what I am doing with my cheap digital camera.

Wow, this is such a bizarre pic... the shops are lit up, which likely means that they are open, but there are absolutely no pedestrians on 5th Avenue.

When was this pic taken???

Your pictures of 5th Ave. are awesome - can't pick a favourite. Must admit though when my husband and I were in Playa Jan. 11/07 we were really surprised to see so many vacancy signs in hotels and found that there weren't nearly as many pedestrians on the streets as in other years.
