As my last week in New York (I don't care if we "live" in Connecticut, I'm a New Yorker) I've packed just about everything I can into this week. I went to my old haunting grounds in Brooklyn, wandered around the city, went places and did things that I always meant to. And I'm so glad I did- it gave me a chance to say goodbye. I love New York, I always feel like my heartbeat is normal and regular when it's in sync with the city. I took tons of photos, here are some of my favorites.
This is our old subway stop in Brooklyn.
And this is right above it- I love big statue-things. It's right across the entrance to Prospect Park.
This is the entrance to the park- the figures on top are eagles.
This is the Brooklyn Public Library- SO many of my childhood memories are set here! It's ginormous and awesome and I missed it so much.
This is where my mom used to take our mountains of laundry each week to wash it. (Especially fun in 6' of snow.)
This is our building- 225 Sterling :)
Our apartment was the fifth floor (in a six-level building)
Grand Central Station. It's Grand....and it's Central!!
I've never been to the U.N. before this "trip," even though I would list it high on my "favorite places" list- because of what it stands for.
I walked directly by the Australian flag on my way past :)
This is the Chrystler building from the ground- you can't really tell, but it is, I swear!
A different evening I went down to the Brooklyn Bridge to walk across and take some photos. It was right at sunset, so the light was absolutely beautiful.
The Bridge & The Moon
I thought this one would be wonderful in a black and white or sepia.
That little white dot is the (almost) full moon.
The Empire State Building and Crystler building from the bridge- the red light is absolutely gorgeous
This is my favorite!!! I took this, turned around, turned back around, and the light was gone. So glad I got it!
I had to do a 12x zoom to get this one- I'm amazed that it's clear at all!
I kinda want to steal this sign, but I'm sure a lot of people would have a problem with that.
This is my favorite building in Manhattan- it's gorgeous, and I swear it could have been designed by Howard Roark. Therefore, it's awesome.
I went to Phantom with one of my best friends Jess- tickets for $26.50- hollaaaaaa- and I was CRAZY excited.
This one's kinda blurry, sorry :(
Jess and I- in the last row, of course xD
I love this photo!
Then I saw 'How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" with Mum on Thursday.
It was awesome! But of course, the second Daniel Radcliffe came on stage my mom leans over and says "You're a wizard Harry!!" .........awkward.
