There are some fabulous old buildings in NY and they all have external fire escapes.

Central Park horse and buggy rides

Empire State Building (I didn't go to the top)

Just down from Times Square and round the corner from where I stayed.

I'm off to France & rest of Europe on Monday so won't have a chance to put more photos up before I go. Will be back in UK mid December. Will have lots more to put up then. While in the US I also went to Boston, Washington and Pennsylvania (Lancaster to be precise). Bye for now.



New York - Times Square

This next photo is at 9pm Sunday night

The UN were in town this day. Black cars were everywhere and apparently allowed to park anywhere. Sorry about the focus.

Not sure what the law is on using a mobile phone while riding a bike round New York. The building in the next photo is nick named the Iron building because it is shaped like an Iron. It's really quite an interesting building to see.

This bull is currently under police guard. I think it tried to run away again. It's near Wall Street and apparently people come from everywhere to pat it for good luck. The tour guide wasn't sure why it was fenced off but there were some people across the street crying because they couldn't touch it.

A few of my peeps from New York

Hi there, hope everyone is well and looking forward to a hot summer in oz

Here are some photos of the last 6 weeks or so. I've just returned to the UK from the USA. At the moment I'm only visiting countries starting with U.

This is the recently opened building of the new Scottish parliament.  For a parliament that has limited decision making powers in Scotland it sure is a big building. The next few shots are of Edinburgh (I think i'm spelling this rong).

This is looking out the window of the coffee shop at Edinburgh Castle. I zoomed right in and saw that there was a passenger liner in  port.

 

This pony was on the parade ground of the castle. He was getting ready for his appearance in the Tattoo. He is highly decorated. You can make out some of his medals on his blanket behind the solder. The little dog was in an old lady's handbag. He was about 14 yrs old. The pony wanted to eat him.

Dog searches before the Tattoo. This officer found this dog.

Edinburgh was absolutely packed when I was there. As well as the Tattoo there was the comedy festive a book festival and the fringe. All very exciting. I saw two comedy shows and an art exhibition. I felt quite cultured by the time I left.

Here are a few shots of the Tattoo

The rear end of the pony - he was actually a corporal.
