A nice view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the shore. |
Another shot of the Brooklyn Bridge |
Another picture of the Brooklyn Bridge. |
Some skyscrapers in downtown Manhattan. |
The Wall Street subway station entrance. I found this station neat because there was a cemetery right next to it. You can see some of gthe headstones through the fense. |
Westchester Country Club along the Long Island Sound in Rye, NY. I spent the 4th of July there with family. |
A view of the Manhattan skyline at dusk. This was taken from the same rooftop I saw the fireworks from on July 4th. |
Fireworks from a rooftop in Manhattan. That was a neat experience. |
Coney Island Beach. Surprisingly the beach was full of unattractive people in unflattering swimwear (although some chose to enter the water in only undergarments, and I'm not talking about children either). |
A street view around Columbia University. |
And Times Square again. |
Times Square at night - enough said. |
The courtyard of a small church in midtown Manhattan. |
Another view of the Church. |
An owl in Central Park. |
The Chrystler Building |
A water fountain in the New York Public Library. |
A stone lion outside the New York Public Library. I've been told that this is the same lion in Ghostbusters. |
Nene (my aunt), me, Bryan (my cousin) and Zach (Bryan's friend) in Central Park. |
Ancient African tribal art. |
A Medieval stained glass window in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I wish I knew where they came from; I spent about 5 hours in the museum and was stil rushing through everything. |
The Temple of Dendur, an ancient Egyptian temple. It would have been destroyed with the construction of a dam in Egypt, so the US gave Egypt a monetary gift to help save some monuments, and Egypt gave the temple to the US. |
A closeup of Louis Comfort Tiffany's "View of Oyster Bay" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. |
A mural in the subway. The subway was one of the neatest things about New York; so much architectural detail. it was really neat to see how much time and effort (and money) went into building the older subway stations. |
No trip to New York is complete without seeing a subway rat. This one came out of hiding to get a piece of tortilla. |
The side of a building in Greenwich Village. |
A mural painted on the side of a building in midtown. |
No, this isn't a fake picture. My brother Matt knows the guy in charge of the billboard. He must have left that up for 10 minutes for our entertainment. Well, it made my day. |
And there's us on the billboard itself. The camera on the lightpole is what's filming us. |
Some sort of nursery rhyme sculpture in a park in uptown. |
Cousins. Left to right are Julie, Bonnie, Tony, Matt, Zach (okay, not a cousin, but friend of one), and Bryan. |
The Plaza Hotel, where I stayed for half of my trip. |
Here's Matt looking like a bum. That's really a bum's stuff too. Are you happy now Bonnie? |
