Manhattan after dark
** We were not planning another trip to the USA until quite recently but I felt I would like to make one final visit the cost of travel insurance to the States now we are older is very expensive. . I have always loved visiting America but I worry about its future . If Trump wins there is a clear threat to democracy in the States and a risk that it could become “Christian “ Nationalist autocracy . Certainly if you are a woman in many areas of the country your rights to make decisions about your reproductive health have been removed. Books are being banned in growing numbers particularly in Southern States and when books are burnt or banned you know a society is is in trouble.
New York remains a wonderfully vibrant place full of diversity, creativity and energy that I think of as the best of America . We had four intense days pounding its streets and really enjoyed the trip. We went to a concert at The Carnegie spent some enjoyable hours at the Met, MOMA and the Whitney museums. Saw a couple of fascinating urban garden experiments on the west side of Manhattan .
The Skyline of the city remains in my opinion a thing of beauty and wonder . Since we last visited there are a great many new buildings in particular the One World Trade Center that at 1,776 feet rises well above all the other buildings in Manhattan
You can see it in the centre of this image of Southern Manhattan taken from a boat on the Hudson river
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
