thanks for the comment, sort of the official name of this is as I wrote it ...you can look this up as I did this is the name given by the NYC Department of Parks & by the NYC Architectural Guide it is at the center of NYU's campus, my alma mater the camera I used delivers exquiste low light images because it can be hand held at lower shutter speeds than SLRs and has outstanding fast wide angle lenses available in its mount PS: this printed out beautifully at A3 size & I am certain I could have gone bigger had I wanted

Hey, Texan. Mind your manners. It's "The Washington Arch" and was designed by Stanford White. Look him up. He had quite a life. Second, it ain't the center of anyone's campus. It's a public neighborhood park, and the mighty who have tried to change that over the years have been broken in pieces. The 20,000 poor buried there centuries ago guard it with a restless vigil. Enjoy your stay. PS. Nice shot, from an ISO-limited your camera, at least at this size.
