Show me the money...




Wall Street, where the New York Stock Exchange is located.
This is were fortunes are created and lost. This is were the money is...

Places to visit in NYC








Two places worth visiting in New York City.
On the left, a dinossaur skeleton at the American Museum Of Natural History. I spent an entire morning there and didn't saw everything, however it was well worthy.
On the right, a photo of Greenwich Village. This shows the arch at Washington Square Park by night.

Central Park






Stuck right in the middle of the city, there's a true jungle.

New York Buildings


It was something that amazed me, and still does.
The buildings in New York impressed me by their size, magnitude and variations in shapes and colors.

Brooklyn Bridge




Another landmark of New York that can't be missed, one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, stretches over the East River connecting the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Statue of Liberty















The most popular icon of New York City, the Statue of Liberty.
Standing in Liberty Island, on the mouth of the Hudson River. It was a gesture of friendship from France to America.
The sculptor was Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower.

More from New York












Two marking places in New York, on the left, the place were the World Trade Center used to be, right behind the Winter Garden.
On the right photo, Ellis Island, were the Immigration Museum is located.

New York from the river

I've shown New York from above, now take a look at it from the river. Still huge, still impressive.

USS Intrepid




Back to New York, this is the USS Intrepid. You can visit this Aircraft Carrier at the New York harbor to visit it as a museum, the Intrepid Museum.

"This Essex Class aircraft carrier was one of America's most effective military vessels. Along with her 23 sister ships, the USS Intrepid formed the backbone of the United States Navy and its commitment to securing peace and freedom..."

Mysterious colors

There's a strange thing about this one, it appears that has two colors mixed on its petals but actually it only has one color and its not this one that you see.

The real color is deep purple...

Orange




I can even select my flowers by color. This one is all about orange.

Pretty in Pink




Let's keep in macro shots.
Flowers really put us wondering how wonderfull nature is.

Flowers




Let's leave New York in peace for a while and change the subject.
Here's a new subject to my blog, macro shots from flowers. I have tons of fotos like these, it's a kind of photo I enjoy taking, so I'm making a selection of those that are worthy and post them here.

The Empire State Building





















The Empire State Building: Unquestionably one of the biggest icons of New York City ( literally ).

New York, New York

Last year I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Ney York, these were taken when I just arrived. Still shaken with the city size and magnitude of the buildings, I was able to take these two pictures worth publishing. Stay tuned, there will be more from New York to come...

Flight Of Seaguls






Two still moments in the flight of a seagul.

Light games















Isn't it amazing what you can see at home when you arrive at 3 o'clock in the morning?
All you need is the vision to see, and a camera to register!
