Description

I wanted to share a photo that I took back in 1990. It was with my first camera, a strange old thing that I worked my butt off to purchase! My friends and I had been travelling here, there and everywhere for quite a while by this stage, and we finally got ourselves to New York. A place I would call home for a time. This old photo was taken just after we had stuffed our faces with hotdogs from street vendors......and don't forget those pretzels, bought extremely dodgy looking watches from guys with suitcases (I learnt that day that only the best of the best Rolex watches had an extra X at the end of their name!!), played Australian Rules Football in Central Park to the bemusement of onlookers, and then got ourselves to what felt like the top of the world.....The Twin Towers. What a great day....we were all invincible that day...........and the watch still works.

Delightful memories... My first visit to this magnificent city was in 2004 - So sadly, thanks to some real a-holes, I never had the privilege to be 'on top of the world'... I'm glad you did!!! Thanks for sharing yours!!! :)

Excellent shot. I grew up 25 miles east of this scene. Did you get to visit the Statue of Liberty (seen to the left)? As a grade school kid, I ran up the winding staircase from the ground to the crown...couldn't do that today:-)
