"Wide-angle view of Yankee Stadium during a baseball game at dusk, with a full crowd in the stands and the field brightly lit under the stadium lights."
Entrance gate to the Bronx Zoo, featuring large gold letters spelling "BRONX ZOO" and a smaller sign for the Wildlife Conservation Society. Above the text, there are teal-colored silhouettes of animals, trees, and plants. A crowd of people stands near the entrance building beneath the sign, surrounded by lush green trees on a sunny day with a partly cloudy sky.
Modern white building with angular, folded exterior panels and narrow vertical glass windows. The entrance at street level reads "The Bronx Museum of the Arts." Several people are walking near the entrance, and a few cars are parked along the tree-lined street. The building contrasts sharply with the adjacent older brick building.
Modern high-rise building with a rounded rooftop and horizontal blue-tinted window bands, set against a bright blue sky. In the foreground, there are green trees and a bus stop shelter with people waiting. A bus is partially visible on the street. In the background, another shorter, older stone building can be seen.
Large beige stone courthouse building with tall vertical windows and Art Deco architectural style, situated on a raised platform with a stone retaining wall. The entrance features tall columns and sculptural reliefs. Two flagpoles are visible, one with the American flag and one with the New York State flag. A few pedestrians and parked cars are present on the street below. The sky is clear and blue.
