‘Immerse yourself in New York City for five minutes, and you’ll see why it’s like no other place on earth.’ It looks like something in this statement seems to be true.
This city is full of diversity. Probably only here u will find all of America’s attributes, intensified in such an intriguing way. Only here will you experience those sublime moments that New York City is famous for.
It was an kick-ass long ‘4th of July’ weekend in New York. I’ve grazed a bunch of the most prominent sites in NY, but still not all of them. Lots to see in such a short time…damn it!
For those back home who think I do spend mostly of my time here only in sunshine. Well, to be honest and to satisfy you people, the weather wasn’t that sunny, this time. This was really kind of a setback, particularly if you want to take some pictures :(
Nevertheless I had an awesome time in NY and several wicked experiences, even if my impressions weren’t that positive from the very first. I guess you have to give this ever-pulsating city some time to convince your heart. So watch out for the numerous varieties NY is packed with and make NY like no other place on earth.
Independence Day Fireworks
fortunately the rain started after the fireworks
Central Park
central park is big, very big, and if I say it’s big it is big. I really don’t wanna know the distance I’ve walked in NY!!!
Empire State Building
86 floors over New York, I had a stunning view. Unfortunately those guys in uniforms confiscated my lovely tripod in the inspection on the way up :( so I had to shoot free hand, and that sucks, believe me!
Times Square
Times Square, the most bustling square in New York is known for it’s many Broadway theaters, cinemas and supersigns. It is one of those places that make New York a city that never sleeps.
around Times Square
this is typical New York, all the time u see only those damn yellow cabs… you better see them… those punks will drive u over…
Subway
if you are in NY and your not riding the subway, then you are probably missing one of the biggest NY experiences. It can be intimidating at first, but dive in and you’ll soon be a fan of its unique charm. You will see things like sleeping people, with spit dripping out of their mouth and lesbians playing with each other next to them… yeah… don’t miss that show… and that only for two bucks.
Grand Central Station
always busy at Grand Central!
“What!? Mr. Policeman! no tripods in here? why is that? well, then next time you should maybe do your job a bit better! I got even you and your friends on my cam!” :D
Brooklyn Bridge
affords some awesome views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn
Ferry Park in Lower Manhattan

Great photos! It reminds me of my trip there in ’05. So many movies and shows are filmed in NYC that you will recognize places that you have been often when you watch TV.

Omg!! I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go!! Everytime I look at your pics I just get the urge to travel more & more!! Let me out of here…can anyone come & look after my son here in Aussie while I travel the world? LOL. Hey Arthur, I’ll come & be your camera caddy. ;) I loved that pic of waterfall in Central Park, also view of New York skyline & the city lights from the State Empire Building. Nice fireworks too :)
