Just a shot.
New York Public Library.
One of those places in New York, which is being photographed so many times, that you wonder if it never wears out?
Yep. Last Sunday, Irene and me, took a (Chinese) bus to Philadelphia. We were there for only a couple of hours, and mostly for a birthday party of one of his friends.
City hall of Philadelphia.

New York was experiencing some dissapointing weather last week. But today was warm and sunny again! And after so many wonderful spring days, I wasn't even thinking about complaining anyway...
'Make music, no war!' (as I red on a t-shirt today)
As you can see, I visited the UN-building last week.
Plus, I discovered the source of all those choppers.
Bronx Zoo. Almost too big to visit in one day. But I did, last Thursday. Lots of natural habitat. Animals not just eating what they get fed, but also what they can find around them.
Haha. He was sound asleep, but it can't be comfortable...
Went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art the whole, cold, and misty, Friday. Pfff. What a thing, that building was so big, that it was exercise in itself, to walk all around. They had art from all over this planet Earth. From each continent, and more. The finest, and best preserved. And a lot, many pieces of art. And not just a couple of rooms with paintings or something. But around 60, or maybe 100, with just European paintings. Seriously, I had to pull myself together sometimes, and force myself to stay in. It was just too much for one person in one day. I ended up wondering why people do look at art, and create musea, anyway...
Wow. Magical. When your able to turn stone, into something so very real.
Somehow, I think this piece of art is peaceful. Or something.
Pablo Picasso. 'Man with lollipop'
Taken from the roof of the museum. You see; misty...
From a true master, Rembrandt van Rijn.

Is the end realy near?
Ligt eraan welk einde we het over hebben.
Maar ik hoop volgende week weg te kunnen uit deze superstad.
Forgot something. Collected some pretty shocking quotes at the Zoo.
- "That fish is coming to the surface to breath, so it's a mammal. Right?"
- At the gorilla house, pointing at the silverback, (that huge, strong, muscular, male); "That must be one of the mums; Thea"
- Seeing some cats, dozing in the sun, with manes, being even brown and all; "Look at those tigers'. Standing 2 steps away from the 'Panthera leo'-sign...
The shocking part, is that all these words, were spoken by adults...
Guess zoo's are there, so people can learn about animals.
hmm
domme uitspraken over beesten kunnen wij anders ook wel uitkramen hoor, menig ik mij te herinneren.... :-)
laten we hopen dat ze dan ook de bordjes lezen uiteindelijk. want anders gaan ze geen stap vooruit die klo*** Amerikanen (sorry Lotte!)
