wALL sTREET
- My friend Steve Fisher sent a host of photos of the Wall Street area on the very day that stocks went booming past their highest mark since 2008′s catastrophic crash. That same night I saw Arbitrage, a Richard Gere movie about a crooked hedge fund operator. These pictures seemed destined to end up on today’s photo gallery.
The pics come from many parts of the historic area like the Bank of New York Building or Trinity Church or Tiffany & Co. Lots of beautiful, old buildings displaying lots of majestic architecture and hiding questionable actions. Thanks to Steve for these photos:

Question for Steve, #7 the ironwork do you remember where you took the picture?

Stephen: That’s looking through the window from inside the rotunda of the US Custom House [now the Federal Hall National Memorial] at 26 Wall St, and seeing the capital of the Bankers Trust Company building across the street. The museum is open to the public and is free. Photo #9 is of the rotunda and #6 is its ceiling dome. And if you go, check out the lower level – on the way to the restrooms one passes through the bizarre space that is below the rotunda – photo #10 does not do it justice.
