Half a Tree and a Full Crowd

Here's the view from the office window. Somewhat obstructed, but the during the lighting, Officemate Benjamin filled his computer screen with the Tree Cam (which, by the way, is several minutes behind real time - the online tree lit up after the one outside our window). Wabes dropped by when they first threw the switch, though this photo was taken one evening the following week.

The crowds around the tree are pretty amazing - from my window you can see constant flashbulbs. And on weekends it's even worse. Tourist buses park in front of our building and shoppers crowd the sidewalks. It's a little much, though I'm generally entertained by the spectacle.
