New York
It’s always a pleasure to watch those people (mostly the same all the time) roller skating in Central Park, every single weekend. Seems that they are members of a club, and they really enjoy their hobby. Too bad I can’t add to my post the music accompanying them while skating.

Once riders prepared themselves with the body painting (as you saw in the previous post), they started in their fun ride through the streets of Manhattan.
Another milestone with my blog – the number of countries from which the views originated, has reached 40. The latest addition to this list of countries (from 5 continents) is Argentina.
Do you like to ride your bike on the streets of New York? How about doing that naked (or almost) . Some people do just that, as part of a protest movement called World Naked Bike Ride. Here’s a few images from the assembly point in Brooklyn, from the 2010 ride.
Every year, 5th Avenue in Manhattan is the host of another parade, celebrating everything Irish – St Patrick’s Day Parade. Here’s some images I took in last year’s parade.
Just about one hour away from Manhattan (no traffic…) there is this wonderful park where people can relax for a day, and escape the “jungle” of skyscrapers. You can walk in the forest on the numerous trails, or just relax by the lake (seven of them) and enjoy the scenery.
Back in February 2010, we had one of those rare days with snow in Manhattan, which resulted in these nice images below. Needless to say that by next day all that white beauty was gone…
