Metropolitan Museum

The entrance viewed from north.Indoors?

The reason for me to take a photo of this painting is that it reminds me of a place not far from where I live. Also I think it's beautiful.
The big entrance hall.

A mosaic piece of art...
...and a close up.
Flowers by the information desk.
Something Egyptian.

Horrible animals in NY

But I only encountered one that I could take a photo of. I saw more of them, but then I didn't have my camera.

This one was (I vacuumed it up (I saw it while I was working out with vacuum cleaner) so I suppose it's dead now) maybe 4 cm long. Anyone who can tell me what it is?

Shall we have a good time and count the legs? If you start in the rear end, I'll start in the front... "One, two, three, four..."

Weird animals in New York City

The "zoo" of FAO Schwartz.Stuffed turkey gets a new meaning...
Look how sad he is, that he has to leave all his friends.
This is at Macy's. A giraffe...
...and a zebra. They're actually made of real flowers!

Walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan

This was a warm Sunday and many people, both tourists and New Yorkers, took the opportunity to go for a walk over Brooklyn Bridge.





Empire State Building.

Looking towards Brooklyn.

Cars

I saw a lot of fun cars and a lot of fine cars when in New York. This one below I just had to take a photo of.This photo I took for a friend who is a fan of big and cool cars, so he wanted a photo of these two black cars. After I took the photo I saw this funny yellow sign, and that's the reason for me posting it now. I just wonder, where's the swing board?

Belvedere Castle

Belvedere Castle is situated in the south part of Central Park, and is not only a historical building but also an information centre for the wildlife in the park. When I was there the first time there were two turtles in a terrarium and you could read the stories about them, that they had been found in the park and been taken care of. The second time I was there these turtles had been let out in the pond just north of the castle, which name is just Turtle Pond. Here are some facts about the castle.
Here is the tower with a balcony in front of it.And here is the castle viewed from the east side.Viewed from the north, with Turtle Pond in front of the castle, and houses with adress Central Park West in the background.
A view from the top, to the north.

At Agneta's place

I didn't stay all the time in New York at my sister's place but also one week and a half at her friend Agneta's place. She lives on penthouse level in an old house by Central Park. This is a part of her balcony. I took the photo sometimes before Easter so I guess it is much prettier now, with the plants in bloom.This is one of her neighbour houses, viewed from the roof.
And another one.
She lived on the 13th floor... (I always used the elevator.)
