My new friends from Island Shakespeare invited me to a nice rooftop party, which gave me the opportunity to take these panoramic images of Manhattan East-side and Queensboro bridge.

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.

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.

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.
It’s been one week since I started this photo blog about Manhattan. I like doing it and I believe that my readers like it too.
So far, in just one week I received over 4100 hits from 15 countries all over the world. That is rewarding. In order to keep the hits coming I would like to ask all my visitors who appreciate and like my images to spread the word (the blog I mean) to all their friends, by email, Facebook, etc
And don’t forget to click on “Follow” button on the upper left corner, this way you will receive an email whenever I post new images from New York, the city where I lived for the last 18 years (which means I have an 18 years collection of Manhattan images, so they will be coming…older images are interesting as well).
