Description
"New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!"
(Betty Comden and Adolph Green)
I love New York City! I'll be the first to admit that a large part of that is because going to see New York City is the same as going to see my sister, Leslie. But NYC makes the stay with her so much fun! There are things I want to do every time I go there. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge and the High Line. On the second tier of desires is going to a Broadway play, on a boat ride, and a walking tour. The museums beckon. Central Park awaits. I have further to walk along Battery Park. There is SO much art in the subway that I haven't seen yet. I love NYC! I have finally almost landed in my series of airplane shots. I took many more once I landed. I hope y'all are up for a LOT of shots from NYC!
I took this as we were coming in, through the window next to the seat in front of me. I'm very glad they had the shade up as I couldn't see this through my window.
I am leaving tomorrow after work to visit my mom for a few days. I'll be doing more looking than commenting until I get back, though I do hope to commandeer her computer from time to time. I hope everyone has a great end of the week, and weekend.
Thanks for viewing, and for comments and favs!

Great shot! I'm thinking La Guardia? I see the Empire State and Kreisler buildings. Try the Bronx Zoo and Katz's Deli in Manhattan. My great grandparents used to eat there. Been around since 1888.

Fantastic pic here Lucinda, and you managed to capture all the glory that seems to surround New York. Thanks to your wonderful images from your vacation we all feel as if we've been there with you on this journey. You do such a great job of finding out the history behind the areas you show us and adding in your own thoughts and personal experiences to give them even more meaning. While your right about NY being a wonderful place, I think it is the inner magic within you that brings these photos to life. No matter where Leslie lives if were allowed to see it through your eyes I'm confident it will look and feel as magical as you've made NY seem.

Your photo and words are full of nostalgia for me. Grew up 20 miles east of the city on Long Island. My grandmother would pack us a lunch, we'd climb on the subway and head for a museum or a park or both. What a wonderful adventure for an 8 year old at that time:)

Cool capture of the silhouetted skyline of New York City, Lucinda. I seem to remember Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin singing that song in the 1949 movie, On the Town. And, from your narrative I get the vague impression that you love the city and its environs.

On the Town is the only musical I know and the only one that doesn't make me cringe for some reason...I think it has something to do with Alice Pearce in a small role. There's something to be said for "the Chinless Wonder." Anyway...having said that long and almost sensical ramble, I'll say that this is a popper of a shot. This looks like so many of the things I imagine when I think of a city, and I see why Chicago tries so hard to imitate that! Really, Chicago TRIES (and doesn't succeed) in being New Yorker...I think it's a matter of location: we have a lake, but New York is largely a coastal city...Chicago is in the interior and so we just don't get the "fringe" influences that all "exterior" portions of a country enjoy...by the time stuff filters INTO Chicago, it's watered down and weak and pretty worn out. But anyway, I'm still rambling, and I have to say that this is an absolutely amazing capture. I love the geometry of the buildings at odds with the water in that serene curve...this is a feast for the eyes, and wonderfully moody too. Cities...I love 'em! Well...some of them, anyway. New York is one of them!
