Morning Eye Candy: Frosty Moon

Morning Eye Candy: Van Cortlandt
Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on December 21st, 2012 by Matt Newman – Be the first to commentVan Cortlandt Manor was the first Holiday Train Show miniature that I saw, not long after I started working at the Garden. It’s still at the top of my list, I suppose–I’m a sucker for wraparound porches.

Morning Eye Candy: Steam Heat

Morning Eye Candy: An Island in Colorado
Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on December 18th, 2012 by Matt Newman – Be the first to commentConey Island may be a New York affair, but Michael Shannon saw no reason to let that stymie his homage in Colorado. The Coney Island hot dog stand, now a national landmark, was built in Denver in 1966. It currently stands in Bailey, Colorado. Of course, our miniature homage to the homage stands in the Holiday Train Show Artist’s Studio, alongside a number of famous landmarks from around the country–and the world.
