Did you hear about the Occupy Wall Street protest? What started in downtown Manhattan in Zucotti park last year in September, spread worldwide. Once NYCPD moved in and cleaned the park, only pictures remain. Not sure though if the movement accomplished anything so far, other than boosting tourism in downtown Manhattan. If you want more reading, additional information on this link: Occupy Wall .
But I did accomplish something – very nice pictures posted below, and a little movie posted here.
New York City is composed of 5 boroughs, four of them (Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island) being islands and one (Bronx) part of mainland. Manhattan is surrounded by several small islands, one of them being Governor’s Island. After being used by the army for many years, and later deserted, it is now a beautiful park, as you can see from the images below.
A stroll at Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn gave me the opportunity to take the images below. As you can see , this is Jewish neighborhood. New York is a melting pot, with different neighborhoods all over. Visiting New York seems like visiting the entire world in a day .

During a day trip to Manhattan, tourists or locals always run into all kind of activities. On this day last summer, we admired the passionate cyclists (probably tens of thousands) participating into annual Bike Ride NY . Later on Wall street, we discovered the Romanian street fair, another annual tradition which tries to promote Romanian tourism and commerce.
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:
Nice statistics provided by my host, wordpress.com. In 10 days of blogging I’ve reached over 4300 views from all continents. Here’s a picture to show this. Looking forward to 10 times as many views.
