That boy knows how to party! But he still need to learn the Green Cross Code | ||
| zolita1908 |
Well he also needs a set of headlights on that pram. And if he learns the green cross code, he can also learn how to change his own bum!

| Stuball |
I did indeed with many pictures taken and lots of food eaten Scallop, you doubter! I did'nt do the tourist thing of taking pictures of myself infront of each known object or building. I think I'm in ONE reflection picture |

Full of imigrants, obscure english dialects and pishin with rain.... nope, not really |
||
| Stuball |
The Flatrion (for AlanM)

Great thread Stu.
Was the Woolworth building featured in Ghostbusters? |
||
| james73 |
Pretty sure the building in Ghostbusters was a matt painting.

Lady Liberty
Some better pics of here to come when it wasnt so miserable |
||
| Stuball |
The magnificent Grand Central Station.... you've all seen it on TV but you dont feel how spectacular it is until you are standing in the middle of the concourse
Not the easiest place to photograph.... its pretty dull and a flash would be useless due to the scale of the place |
||
| Stuball |
Robbery at the Waldorf!
I had trouble getting out of the area because every taxi driver kept stopping me to ask what was going on.... should have put the camera away |
||
| wee minx |
you would think they would be used to people taking photos..or was it your BIG ZOOM? 
|
||
| Stuball |
I think it was the combination of big IS lens, standing on the corner watching things and the backpack giving it the whole paparazi look | ||
| cybers |

Love that old and new pic Stu...
It could have been so much easier to just rip the old place down and put glass and steel in its place. Quite a stark and contrasting image ... |
||
| Alex Glass |
More! More! More!
Wow Stu all your photos are magnificent. Makes you want to go and visit. |

Not anymore... apparently you can only go as high as the base of her feet now |

Nice find Kev
I've merge your thread with the other New York thread |
||
| james73 |
I was wondering what happened there... 
Great find, kev - I love New York.
As for a "twin cities" thing. Funnily enough, when you look at NY prior to the horrible glass & concrete towers going up, a lot of the Victorian era buildings and tenements look a lot like those in British cities, including Glasgow. I might register on there and post summat like "nice pics, we've got stuff like this on our forum..."
