Not just about the river, there are amazing buildings along the waterfront. Old and new, these two are neighbors, across from the pair of piers above Christopher Street.
One represents the Pre-Titanic disaster seafaring era, all those hotels, for both the elegant as well as the steerage, plus the storefronts and warehouses associated to the industry.
The other reflects the burst of a more recent boom of modern day architecture along with that pair of gardened piers above Christopher Street with the grass and trees.
What would Walt Whitman think of this activity, of his, my, city with it's hustlers and gay lovers, mixed up among the mothers with strollers and half naked roller bladers, and the drag queen high schoolers primping and parading and pickpocketing?

  1. Enjoy these New York City images very much! Looks like you have a wonderful blog started.

    If you have not already, you will find many people will post comments once you post a comment on their blog -- just like I am doing now!

    My favorite blog is A Majority of Two -- which is done by Jo in Vancouver. She has a great blog and lots and lots of followers (about 600!). If you visit her blog and start clicking on various people who visit her, you will find a whole new world of bloggers!!

    You have quality images on your blog and once people find you, you will soon have a loyal following!

    Take care.

  2. Thank you Russell,

    I'm not sure how the messaging works, but I hope you get this response. I have signed on Jo's follower list as well as several she recommends. I'm excited to be part of this and look forward to seeing other bloggers' sites and hearing from them.
