Art

Hihihi...
Who needs the comedy clubs at Times Square, when the MoMa's (Museum of Modern Art) entrance is for free every Fridaynight!? Human beings alone, give me enough reason for sudden out-of-nowhere-smiles, sometimes. As does modern art. But the combination of these two...
The guards must have thought I'm crazy, smiling around, with my earphones in.
In my 2.5 hour visist, I've only been able to visit floor 4 and 5; 'sculpture and paintings'. Paintings with names as; Number One, Red and Orange, No. 16, Abstract Painting, White numbers, To Be Looked At (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close To, for Almost an Hour, Still Life #30.

If you know me just a little bit, you know that places like this, freak me out.
But everybody goes out, to see this, so I'm going too :)

No. It's not just all black; there's an even blacker strip in the centre. It's called 'Abraham'.

... Vincent Van Gogh :D

... Monet...

Jogging

Yeah. Today was my first time to be one of the 'participating-healthy-running-around'-people. Instead of the 'O-help-I'm-in-the-way-and-there-are-joggers-everywhere'-tourists. It is nice to feel my tired legs, and it was nice to get around Central Park so fast :)
Got dressed in suitable clothes, took my iPod, phone, 5 dollars and my Metrocard. Stayed in the park for hours, didn't run all the time, though. And after my first lap around the big water reservoir I started getting blisters from my short socks. So I went outside the park, walked some blocks, and bought long socks. It keeps being a crazy mix of nature and city.

Today was another first day for something else. Clouded skies, for the first time in one and a halve week. It was blue skies and a warm sun for a long time. Thursday my shoulders even got sun burned. In April...
But last night it rained, and the whole world did get this lovely smell around her. That smell that the world gets, when there have been some showers after a lot of sun. Think you know what I mean.
Men, I just sneezed for like 17th time today! Despite all sunny weather I picked up a cold somewhere.

By the way, I can remember that I left this city, regretting that I didnt had a chance to go for a run in Central Park.

Nature in New York (speciaal voor pap)

A tribute to parks in general, and New Yorks' Parks in spring, in particular.
If there's no description, it's Central Park.

A louder 'Halleluja'!

Sorry, I feel like I overdid it a little bit, with the amount of pictures... But the internet connection is so fast, plus, I'm so very happy to show them to you. Even if it's 2.30 am.
They're definitely not in chronologic order, except for the last one; its one which I took today, a couple of hours ago.


I would almost start to like this flag...

Tompkins Square Park.

The Great Lawn, Central Park.


Took this while I was in East River Park.

Cherry blossoms.

In Harlem.

Vierkante Tijd. (Times Square.)

What a country...

What a squirrel...

And what was I lucky to have my camera ready :)

Guess: Little Italy, Chinatown, or the Bronx?

Brooklyn Bridge.

Halifax Airport, while I was waiting for my bag. Oh, so lonely.

Memorial for fallen soldiers. In Battery Park, on the Southern tip of Manhattan, where the Dutch settlers, and countless immigrants after them, arrived. Great memorial, probably the best I've ever seen.

Jep. Taking this picture was dangerous. For sure.

Wish I would dare to take more of these kind of pictures.

Trinity Church, founded in 1697. Lower Manhattan.

Playground in Chinatown.

Manhattan Bridge, in the back Brooklyn Bridge. Buildings you see are Brooklyn, while I'm standing on the Eastside of the Island of Manhattan.

Central Park. Again :)

Ahhh. Evening sun... I feel as if I can never, ever, see or experience, too much of it.

Street in East Village, last Friday.

Took this one, only a couple of hours ago; it's the street where the pope was staying. Countless cops.
