tree on fire

as i walked to work this morning, this tree,
illuminated by the sun,
looked as though it were on fire.
{this one's for you, alicia!}

it's hot today.
the weather network says that right now it's 43°C with humidex.
ick.
i am super grateful that as hot as it was in NYC, it wasn't this hot.

NYC May 2010: day three {part three}

this is my favorite picture i took at The Cloisters...
i love the light and the contrast.

you can really tell that they brought over the old parts from Europe.
the whole place had a distinctly European feel to it.

even now, looking at these photos,
how i wish i was back there!

in one corner there was this little orange tree.

dark to light contrast = love

mom standing by the fountain. :-)

this one just seemed right to be in black and white

Todd, Ang, Dad and Mom

walking up the side of the castle.

so beautifully made...

were it not for the air conditioner in the window, it could be a photo of another era...

i love this shot. it's my second favorite i took at The Cloisters.

tomorrow i'll show you my favorite...

NYC May 2010: day three {part one}

day three, we got on the subway and went up to 190th street to go to The Cloisters, a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. this is some of the scenery as we walked to the castle.

the park we walked through was called Fort Tryon Park.
a very beautiful, serene place.

these park benches beckoned those of us walking past to forget our agenda, and spend some time with them... which we didn't do, unfortunately.

a first look at The Cloisters.

almost there...

a sure sign that we've arrived!

more on monday...

NYC May 2010: day two {part two}

after Dad and i rejoined mom, we walked around the Rockefeller Center. there were a number of statues that i wanted to see, the first of which was this one of Prometheus. where the umbrellas are now, once it gets cold, that whole area becomes the skating rink.

the entrance to the skating rink is guarded by two of these handsome men...

the Rockefeller Center, from the bottom to the top.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

another statue i wanted to see was this one of Atlas.
he was hiding right across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral.

another external shot.
once again, how i love old churches...

we couldn't take many photos inside, as there was a service going on while we were there, but you can see how beautiful it is.

NYC May 2010: day two {part one}

after a quick trip to the MOMA, we headed over to the Rockefeller Center, while Mom stayed with her feet firmly planted on solid ground, Dad and i went up to the Top of the Rock.
