The Apollo

Harlem, USA

The Famous Apollo Theater, a true landmark not only
for NYC, but for the whole country. When I think about
all the great stars and legends that performed here,
it's absolutely mindblowing.

Haven't been here in a while, and taking nothing away from
the Apollo or the area, but despite all they say about renovations
in the area, I still felt it looked a little run down. But I guess
that's part of the charm.

I just passed by real quick, and that bright western sun gave
me lots of trouble with flare.

Very nicely composed and so real. I feel like I'm there passing by the Aollo with you. It's mind boggling to think about the stars who once performed in this historic theater.

Love the mood of this shot with the bright sun at the left, adds to the run down feeling of the place. BV
