Did you know there are Palm trees in NYC

This will be my Entry to the SteemUSA Photo Challenge, just entering for fun since as one of the leaders of the SteemUSa group I void myself from being feautured or mentioned :)

This is Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan on the West Side, it is a shopping centre with a few Restaurants, and is cool both fromthe outside as you can see it in the centre here with the glass dome, it really stands out.

But lets head inside to find the Palm Trees I mention in the title

And here we are inside the building and you can see the top of the palm trees in this shot, and also the cool lighting they have, at the time I took this shot a Christmas song was playing and the lights were pulsing and moving with the beat of the music it was quite cool to see but of course a photo doesn't give the feel of that

And this is from another angle after the music and light show finished and the lights switched to a stady green, as you can see its a pretty cool looking place inside as well as out, and sorry for those who were thinking i may have ventured away from festive in this post, you can also see they have quite a few trees spread around this area.

And finishing off with a shot of one of the Christmas trees

This looks really festive, lovely photos! I was curious when I read Palm trees in NYC, they grow profusely here in our sub tropical region ;) We have different species growing around our pool. It's been terribly horribly hot here, weird to think it's freezing on the other side of the world!

It's probably good you can't enter the contest officially, good for the other entrants that is :) I love the exterior shot as I'm always intrigued with reflective photos on glass as you get to see both stories in front of the camera as well as behind, so it's like getting to peek over the shoulder of the photographer.

NYC sure knows how to do it up with glitz, don't they? This looks an amazing place to wander about.
