Its all about the Nutcrackers

Continuing on (and some may say on and on and on) with posts about the festive decorations in NYC, this post as the title says is all about the Nutcrackers,

Starting with some shots of the huge ones in front of the UBS Building on 6th Ave near 51st Street

this first shot gives a good idea of how huge they are, it was convenient that guy stopped to check his phone as I was about to take the photo, I generally try and get shots without people most of the time ( something I am trying to get out of doing all the time) but this is one case where I feel him being in shot did give a sense of scale

Infact all of these shots have people in view now that I look at them again, that is unusual for me, maybe I am slowly breaking mysel fof the habit of waiting till no one in shot, or more likely this was at lunchtime I do believe and there was no way to get a shot of them without people.

Another of the Nutcrackers, they alternate between the two color schemes along the line

And looking down the line of them again, the guy in the first shot stopped looking ta his phone and started walking but didnt get to far before he stopped to chekc it again

And now a couple of other Nutcrackers these ones with trumpets, in front of a high rise building in the city on 5th Ave, I wont say the name of the building to avoid getting into politics in the comments, but you can work it out if you take a look is all I will say

And another one on the other side of the entrance ot the same building

That's fun, our "the country's main New Year Tree" has a Nutcracker's theme this year.
Do you have snow in winter?

Oh really, a lot? What makes you to be so sure? ))
We have unusual and warm autumn and winter this year (so far). But we all are very much looking forward to a snow for the NEW YEAR and Christmas

Just a gut feeling no other reason really, the patterns are similar to a few years back when we got slammed with a lot of snow

I like the first couple of snowfalls when it is beautiful and white but then the novelty wears off trudging through it LOL

I'm glad you bring Christmas spirit to us @tattoodjay :) Those nutcrackers are unbelievable. Can you imagine the effort it takes to move them each time, geesh! I'll never grow tired of seeding the bright and cheerful decorations! Great shots!

Ohh yeah I would imagine that such a big task putting them in place, and I always wonder how much space is used for storage the rest of the year for these and all the other decorations it must be a huge amount

I love your festive themes! The 'Nutcracker' theme does not dissapoint. Those boys are huge! I wonder where they have room to store them for the majority of the year! Good luck keeping politics out of your post. So far so good! 😬🎄⭐🎶

What a handsome sight of nutcrackers in NYY and indeed, they are ginormous! Excellent photos!

We used to collect nutcracker ornaments and Christmas decorations for my son. He should have a decent amount when he graduates from college and has a place of his own or sgared with roommates!

Bringing your festive soldiers over to my blog where they can keep cracking their nuts throughout the holidays! @tattoodjay

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🕊🎅🎄🎁🛷❄🤶🎻
