A few days in NYC

We spent a few days in New York City in late October, visiting family, and seeing a few sights.

At the Museum of the New York Historical Society, they have a great collection of Tiffany lamps.  These first 5 photos are of some of my favourite patterns:

This is of the Oculus at the World Trade Centre:

Here is One World Trade Center:

On the way back to Brooklyn, where we were staying in a condo rental, we walked across on the pedestrian level on the Williamsburg bridge:

View of lower Manhattan from the ferry:

One day we walked the High Line elevated garden walkway.  From it you could look down on this parking garage that stacks the cars:

This is the Vessel stairs, at the Hudson Yards end of the walkway.  We didn't get tickets in time to climb it on this visit, so we'll try to do it next time:

The much quieter northern end of the High Line.  It was so crowded on most of the route, you had to shuffle and couldn't pass the crowd!  It was a beautiful warm Sunday afternoon though, so I guess everyone else in the city wanted to walk it too:

On the flight home to Canada, most of the way was overcast, but I got some nice photos as we took off out of Newark of the Port of New Jersey and the tanks that are close to the port:

This is the southern tip of Manhattan, clouded over.  You can see the Freedom Tower (One World Trade Center) poking through the clouds:

That's just a sampling of the photos.  We'll be going back again we figure in around 6 months.
