Once the costumed parade ended, there was a display of antique cars to end a very fun day in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

My blog reached almost 5200 hits in less than two weeks. Those hits came from 20 countries on 6 continents. Which means (I hope) that you like Manhattan and of course my pictures. As a result of this I will continue to post new Manhattan images with the faces and places of New York City. Please leave me your comments and feedback.
Thank you
Because we live relatively close to Central Park, we go there often, and of course every-time I take pictures. This is how the park looked yesterday’s afternoon on a gorgeous day.

Have you heard about Mermaid Parade in Brooklyn? If not, take a look. New York is the city of parades and street fairs. Every weekend there is one somewhere in the city. Portions of streets are closed and the fun begins (not to mention extra pressure on traffic). And for a photography enthusiast there is a lot to do, and later share on his blog. So here it is, last year’s Mermaid Parade:
Roosevelt Island, one of the best kept secrets of Manhattan, is technically a part of it, but in the same time is totally independent and separate. Every year, different activities are organized here, one of them being Fall for Arts. Last year , this program included , among other things, a presentation of Oedipus Rex by an all male cast.

Did you know that New York is also known as the “Big Apple”?

One of the newest parks in Manhattan is High Line Park . Somebody had an interesting idea to transform an old rusty railroad track into a place for recreation. You can see the result below.

This is how an average New York winter in Central Park looks like. Occasionally New York may get lots of snow, but that is rare. Normally, that’s all we get…
