New York City 2000

This time I thought, why not trying to take pictures of the city in black and white. I am especially fascinated by the architecture of the city and I guess, you see that at the pictures. If you don't like it, well, I do...


This was my first impression of New York City in 2000. The bus shuttle from JFK airport to the subway. I like the picture because of the limo.


After the first session from the Bronx I took the kids' bus and got dropped off in the middle of the Bronx. This is the first picture I took of the Bronx.   
This is somewhere downtown Manhattan. I simply love the New York City architecture, because old and new styles are so close and mixed like nowhere else.



Oh, just amazing the views. My neck did hurt after the first visit.   
This is somewhere at the harbour, a dove just sitting there. I remember the lines
"Sitting at the dock of the bay..."


I still did not figure out the German translation for this animal. Chipmunks? Even if I look this up it just says something like "american kind of striped squirrel". Maybe we don't have animals like this. Nevertheless they are surely are nice attraction in every NYC park.


Somehow I feel like serving an old cliché. But it is not even Harlem or the Bronx, it is in the East Village, where we stayed at.


Well, Broadway. So typical I don't need to comment something, do I?   
On the one hand it is a straight simple "Bauhaus"-style architecture, but on the other hand it looks like a grotescque Lego building. 




Never seen a house like this before. I found it worth remembering. 
I took this photo in one of the reading rooms of the New York City Public Library. I love the atmosphere in there, because it is a really old building.




 This is a view from the Empire State Building. I guess if you'd look up an old view from the 50's or even 20's almost nothing would have changed. But this timeless view has its charme as well.  
Somewhere in a subway station, I guess it was the one where the Public Library is. Well, I like it.
