Manhattan and brooklyn

    One of the first things that I did when I landed in New York (Newark to be precise) was to take the downtown cruise around Manhattan, offered by the Circle Line cruises.
    Since I arrived in the afternoon, I just had enough time to make it to the 4pm run which was the perfect time.
    The sunset was timed to get the silhouette of the Statue of Liberty and later on, the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges which are shown here.

    Braving the cold weather and the chilling sea breeze armed with only a fleece jacket didn't make things easy. After this shot, I had to hide myself in the warm comfort of a heated cabin in the boat. But even from within, the sights of the lighted Manhattan were wonderful

      Balu: A while back. I got the SLR in September.

      Ken: Thanks for your wonderful words.

      BubbleIo: Thanks. Surprisingly, this is a single photograph, just cropped up right.

      Dididimm: There is a lot more to this world, even in your own backyard.

      @satosphere: so true, like that toad I found some days ago... I do appreciate the things I find round here, but from time to time I feel like .... well, going far far away and see other things. :o) I used to travel a lot, and I miss it.

      I love to travel too. I am slowly working my way around the country, time permitting.
      But then again, there is lots of places to see in California itself.
