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).
A visit to the 911 Memorial built on the exact foot prints of the fallen World Trade Center twin towers.
A visit to Manhattan cannot be complete without Central Park, so this post will give you an idea what to expect when you visit the park. It’s a lot of fun (for me) to watch, observe and take pictures. Or just relax, walk, skate, bike, ride, chat, listen, eat, rest, admire, etc. Come back again (to my blog) to see additional park images from different seasons of the year.

One Sunday afternoon early this spring, we took a walk through the city, ending at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Part of the “museum mile” (as the name says, a mile of 5th Ave in Manhattan, full of museums) the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the biggest museums of the world. Thousands of tourists and locals (like us) visit this every day. The place is huge, so it’s good idea to focus on a small section per visit, and come back for more next time. So we settled on the Greek and Roman Art gallery, and the result of our visit can be seen below.
