Fleeting light

If in New York, go to Brooklyn at least once, if for no other reason than to look back at Manhattan. But do go for another reason. It’s worth it! Great places to eat, some accessible urban decay, the New York Transit Museum … and there’s a great little ice cream shop not far from where I was standing, near the ferry landing, to take this photo.
This view was snapped a year ago, at dusk.

Holding things together

I doubt anyone can visit New York without taking a shot that looks a little like this one. And while every picture is similar, none will ever be quite the same. So here’s my contribution to the virtual gallery of images dedicated to the Brooklyn Bridge. And below are a few more.

Strength in numbers Structural fibres Force to be reckoned with Standing in awe Bringing you closer

The sky never ends

The Time-Warner Center towers over Columbus Circle in New York as it blends into a pleasant, summer sky in August 2011.

Here’s an unexpected photo capture. I was in the last car of a No. 7 subway train as it was leaving Main St. station in Flushing. I decided to try a long-exposure shot inside the tunnel when all of a sudden there was no more tunnel and we were in broad daylight. This is the result.

What’s a visit to New York without a little bit of street meat?

A surprising find in Lower Manhattan. Grass growing freely is not what you’d expect here!

This carpark in New York looks like those toys I always wanted when I was growing up.
