EarthCam Live: Times Square North

One Times Square is the building the whole world watches every New Year's Eve, when the famous ball descends from its roof. This EarthCam view looks north from inside that landmark tower, overlooking the bright lights, towering displays and nonstop energy of Times Square in New York City.

From this position the square stretches out ahead, with digital screens stacked high on every side and Broadway and Seventh Avenue funneling crowds and traffic through the bow-tie-shaped plaza. It is a commanding perspective that shows just how vast and intense the lights of Times Square are.

The building itself has been undergoing a major transformation, adding new interest for those who follow the area's evolution. Meanwhile the scene below carries on: daytime crowds, evening theater rushes, late-night neon, and the extraordinary gatherings of holidays and special events.

Good moments to tune in

• Dusk, when the screens begin to dominate the sky.
• Weekend evenings, when the plaza is packed.
• New Year's Eve, from the home of the Ball Drop.
