Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Big Apple is a bakery, restaurant and roadside attraction in the community of Colborne, part of the municipality of Cramahe, Northumberland County in Central Ontario, Canada, a driving distance of approximately 135 kilometres (84 mi) eastward from downtown Toronto. It is located on the south side of Ontario Highway 401 at interchange 497 (Northumberland County Road 25/Percy Street) and is easily recognizable from the highway by its huge apple-shaped structure, claimed to be the world's largest.
With a height of 10.7 metres (35 ft) and diameter of 11.6 metres (38 ft), the Big Apple features an observation deck.
The site also features a petting zoo, a complimentary miniature golf course, and other amenities.
In midst my busy month, I managed to squeeze a visit to the city that never sleeps. I gotta say its one of the most amazing places I have ever visited and can't wait to go back there.
Needless to say its a very photogenic city, so to start off this new set, here is an image which you will probably have seen a million times before, buts its grandeur and splendour will never cease to amaze.

Located at 45 Rockefeller Plaza 5th Ave
Atlas overlooking Fifth Avenue in its imposing stance, the Atlas statue guards the front of 45 Rockefeller Center. Atlas portrays a scene of struggle that juxtaposes the ambient ruckus of the New York street and city life. The 45 foot Art Deco statue designed by architect Lee Lawrie and created by sculptor Rene Chambellan, Atlas’ strained expression indicates the effort with which he holds up the weight of humanity.
Titan Atlas serves a divine punishment of eternally carrying the weight of the world in his hands. The statue in New York City shows his strength and powerful physique, but he holds an abstract, spherical representation of the cosmos rather than a traditional globe.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his fellow man.
Driving past the famous landmark, we visited last time we were returning from Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Historically haunted Hotel Chelsea, Built between 1883 and 1884, the hotel was designed in a style described variously as Queen Anne Revival and Victorian Gothic.
Many famous artist, musicians, politicians and criminals called this hotel home for some time adding to its mystique and intrigue.
A cold and sometimes drenching rain in no way dampened the spirits of dancers who came from all over New York City to express their passion for the expression of one's self through dance.

Copyright ©2016 Wendy Wolf - I was really excited to go back to this popular site because it's one of the best views in all of New York City, and one of those places where you just can't put your camera down. Stay tuned for more images I took there this weekend.
This gigantic apple was so beautiful that I wanted to photograph it before I ate it!! It weighed in at 12 oz./340g.!!! And it tasted great too!!

But the one thing missing, the crowds. Thank goodness for Sunday, freeparking, and no crowds.
