NASA unveiled the James Webb Space Telescope in Battery Park. The five billion dollar telescope is set to replace the Hubble in 2014.

From a few hundred feet, I had thought it was some sort of bandshell. But as I came closer, I told a friend with me that it looked like a radio telescope. To my surprise, a nice young lady turned and set me straight. She said there was a good article about the telescope in The New York Times. Click here to read it.

The birds were flying around like crazy when I took these photos. There were so many chances for great photos of them swooping through the frame, yet I missed them by milliseconds. It was so bad I couldn’t even get a decent picture of a turkey. The damn bird kept turning away. His pics are at the bottom.

Here are two other sets of photos I took that day: Battery Place to Rector Street and Back and Battery Park

(Photos by Bald Punk – NY Harbor)

Most of these photos were taken in Battery Park City. A handful were from Battery Park. They are identified in the url.

I chose the above photo for the lead in because of the story I just posted. It’s the one in which the cigar store Indian tells us about Henry Hudson. I was going to choose a picture with sailboats, but decided a photo of the harbor was best.

It must have been quite a moment to see Henry Hudson’s strange vessel breaking the horizon.
