One more country, Philippines. Looking forward to 50.

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.
Celebrating 4th of July in Central Park
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.
Have you heard of Montserrat? No, not the famous opera singer, but a small country. I didn’t, until tonight. To my surprise, on the list of countries which show me my blog’s visitors’ geographic location, this new name appeared. I immediately “googled” it, and I found out it’s a small island in the Caribbean, with about 6000 inhabitants. One of them discovered my blog tonight, and I hope he/she enjoyed my pictures. I feel honored and I salute my reader from Montserrat.
