Make mine a Manhattan, on the rocks, and make it extra wiggly… which, I suppose, would be shaken, and not stirred… part 1…

There she is, calling you, lighting the way to… More pictures of that dang bridge. But look, it is getting dark. The lights are coming on. The bridge has adorned herself in sparkling jewels. Manhattan is lit up like a … Continue reading →

New York City… day 1… part 12… Manhattan, as seen across the East River from Brooklyn… and yes, there might be some more pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge too. What am I supposed to do, not make you look at them? And I threw in a couple of the Statue of Liberty and some boats, so just look at those if you are tired of the bridge…

Okay, well, yeah, that is the bridge, but look at the pretty lights in the trees. Ummm… look at the clouds? The top of that hill over to the right? I got nothing! I just like the way the cables … Continue reading →

Okay, back to my recent adventures in New York City. My daughter and son-in-law live not to far from the bridge. No, that isn’t a bunch of dead Matadors who had a run-in with that metal bull from Wall Street, … Continue reading →

New York City… day 1… part 7… Trinity Church; a shout-out to history and the musical ‘Hamilton’…

Posted on November 4, 2019 by pouringmyartout

I see dead people… These are some pretty old headstones. I mean, by American standards, not by any other part of the world, but still. These people are buried around a very famous church in New York City. This is … Continue reading →

New York City… day 1… part 5… 9-11 ground zero…

New York City… day 1… part 4… the wounded but still-strong heart of the city…

Posted on November 2, 2019 by pouringmyartout

The reflecting pool, carved on the inside with the names of the victims of 9-11, built in the footprint of one of the two towers. There are two pools. It is moving and heartbreaking. But I did skip ahead a … Continue reading →
