EXPLORED - July 01, 2014. Thanks everyone! New York City on the Independence Day 4th of July Macy's Fireworks

A glacial Erratic remnant of the last ice age, Central Park was never developed so the geological time pieces remain where they were left. interesting these rocks are not native to the area (hence name Erratic), but some 1000 miles away, quite mind-boggling.

A visitor from Northern Canada, decided to chill in Central Park.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.

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.

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

Renowned prohibition era restaurant, 21 Club @ 21 W 52nd St 91 yrs in business. Survived 13 Yrs.of the prohibition, but unable to make it through the Whuhan lockdown. Shows the fine line businesses operate in.

Driving past the famous landmark, we visited last time we were returning from Prince Edward County, Ontario.

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.

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.
