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
The old Airline diner Astoria Blvd, classic relic of the 1930s, when the Clippers ruled the air, and the Marine Air Terminal was NYC only international port. I worked at PanAm in the late 80's till it's closing, hearing stories of the old days and working with some of the most brilliant minds in Aviation, as a teen to me, I was walking amongst Gods. I cherish every memory at the Blue Ball.

But historic pov, streets called Washington St. for at the waters bank at streets end G.W made his retreat to Manhattan with his troops to keep fighting for another day. As a true leader he ferried on the last boat to Independence of a nation.
Driving past the famous landmark, we visited last time we were returning from Prince Edward County, Ontario.

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.

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.
