Times Square, in New York City, is famous for, among other things, its towering LED billboards. They’re on the sides of buildings everywhere you look. Everything is on display. Even the horse-riding policeman is on display, pausing for long minutes to pose for photographers with everything from cell phones to fancy-schmancy DSLRs (like me).

The Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center and neighborhood in midtown Manhattan at Broadway and Seventh Avenue, West 42nd to West 47th Streets. Depending on who you talk to, it’s "The Crossroads of the World", "The Center of the Universe", "the heart of The Great White Way", and "the heart of the world". It’s one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, drawing about 50,000,000 visitors every year. Up to 460,000 people pass through Times Square daily,[ many of them tourists, although some people actually live there. Personally, I think I say 300,000 on the one evening I took a stroll with my camera.
