March 2012 Spring!

Spring  is ready to burst forth in Manhattan and the East Coast of America! It is now March 2012, and I have been out and about with the camera taking shots, and enjoying an almost 70 degree day in early March. Here are some of the images taken on a  quiet peaceful afternoon.

Phoenix- A Change of Pace in the Winter

In February of 2011 I went to Phoenix for a “Pastors Conference” at Phoenix First Church; aside from the conference to be in the midst of the desert in winter was a memorable experience. Here are just a few images from that venture across the country.

The “Bridge” One Will Never Forget…

A Few years ago I had a friend from Germany visiting New York, and naturally he wanted to head over to the Brooklyn Bridge. IF one comes to New York and does not make the effort to walk across the Bridge, I assess this is a foolish decision! Go, it is breathtaking!

Hoboken In Many Moods

Hoboken is technically in New Jersey; however, in this time and age, many consider it another borough of New York City. One stop over the Hudson on the Path Train and you are there, fast. Here are a few shots of different “moods” from strolling in Hoboken… a gem one mile square town with fantastic Views across the Hudson view of ole’ New York.

Melting and Melting Away in Ole New York

So much can be said about my years and time in New York City; volumes could be written. Some friends have said, it would have to be filed under science fiction, for the clarity would appear impossible to be true! Well, I shall not dispute others opinions. Here are some shots from memories from the times of pausing in the middle of it all.

There are two words to describe this posting: The Highline

For a few years now, since it opened, I have been spending some magical moments in and surrounding the Highline, in New York. The expansion happened this past July, and the amount of those who come to this wonderful, scenic, and relaxing location increases continually…as most of the “Planet” know by now. Here are a few images taken over the timeframe since its opening to the present.

Return to the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival

Earlier I inserted a Video of my attending this wonderful Festival, last month; I “reviewed” the video, took it off this site, and redid all the images…since I felt they were all to “glowing” with sunlight pervading the scene. Here are a few of them, individually. Enjoy.
