Walking across New York City
I already made a thread about my first trip to NYC : see here.
But since then, I did two more trips to this great city, in 2015 and in 2016. And actually I am planning to come back again in the next few months or in the next year. During these trips I walked dozens of km by day, all over the five boros and even in New Jersey (Newark). I took numerous pics, so instead of making a thread by trip, I've thought it would be more practical to post them little by little from time to time, just in one thread. So, before the pics, let's start by a video. I made this one from clips I shot during my two last trips to NYC. Let's say that's the trailer for this thread ! Now, for the pics, let's start by a little walk from Midtown to Williamsburg bridge, then walking through Brooklyn and Queens (passing on the Greenpoint Avenue bridge) up to the Queensboro bridge (OK, I love bridges) : 1- http://i.imgur.com/P60BbUy.jpg 2- http://i.imgur.com/UpD1p6L.jpg 3- http://i.imgur.com/M8UsjRz.jpg 4- http://i.imgur.com/BaF6w9q.jpg 5- http://i.imgur.com/UzMjfgZ.jpg 6- http://i.imgur.com/G0ZX9JA.jpg 7- http://i.imgur.com/1yaEDzw.jpg 8- http://i.imgur.com/E3rWOlH.jpg 9- http://i.imgur.com/rQZDaLx.jpg 10- http://i.imgur.com/zeemIBV.jpg 11- http://i.imgur.com/9sbLYCs.jpg 12- http://i.imgur.com/FUvPIXR.jpg 13- http://i.imgur.com/MDb8JBG.jpg 14- http://i.imgur.com/mo2uzSh.jpg 15- http://i.imgur.com/zRSihB8.jpg 16- http://i.imgur.com/rnLqGNo.jpg 17- http://i.imgur.com/rqYqSrZ.jpg 18- http://i.imgur.com/vLehvxv.jpg 19- http://i.imgur.com/B4eUADt.jpg 20- http://i.imgur.com/Q5yLwK2.jpg 21- http://i.imgur.com/ZkAG7xt.jpg 22- On the Greenpoint Avenue bridge, at the limit between Brooklyn and Queens : http://i.imgur.com/zX6MRyH.jpg 23- http://i.imgur.com/oROuKdY.jpg 24- http://i.imgur.com/dDnq6do.jpg 25- http://i.imgur.com/UF1YawB.jpg 26- http://i.imgur.com/pMwmP63.jpg 27- http://i.imgur.com/LubJkpn.jpg 28- http://i.imgur.com/U81RDrC.jpg 29- http://i.imgur.com/Kd5MFIZ.jpg 30- http://i.imgur.com/SmNDgtr.jpg 31- http://i.imgur.com/SMCoxUc.jpg 32- http://i.imgur.com/6OraTcW.jpg 33- http://i.imgur.com/eom7oGP.jpg 34- http://i.imgur.com/bSTfQcQ.jpg 35- http://i.imgur.com/gOUHhtq.jpg 36- http://i.imgur.com/rjwUqM0.jpg 37- http://i.imgur.com/PgEA4Hu.jpg Other pics to come. |

Great sets Nantais. :cheers:
NY is a great walking city. That's really how you appreciate the magic. Its one of those places where you can have fun just walking around. Sometimes aimlessly, soaking in the energy and dynamic nature of the city streets. |

A little walk in downtown Newark, largest city of New Jersey, famous for its airport, infamous for its 1967 race riots and its criminality which drove away a third of its population in the 1970's-1980's.
So, I was not surprised to find that the city seemed a lot less touristic than Manhattan. It felt rough, gritty and somewhat "ghetto". It felt a bit like how I imagined the NYC from the 1970's-1980's might have looked like. To be honest, it was a little bit intimidating (well, or maybe I just felt like that because I was one of the few white guys in sight, and probably the sole tourist taking pics, unlike in Manhattan). 115- So to go to Newark, you have to take the PATH, linking Manhattan to New Jersey. Here are some pics of the World Trade Center station : http://i.imgur.com/5yysqM3.jpg 116- http://i.imgur.com/I9KBpy1.jpg 117- http://i.imgur.com/IDB211S.jpg 118- http://i.imgur.com/rUS6MsK.jpg 119- Newark station : http://i.imgur.com/P1PXe12.jpg 120- http://i.imgur.com/0hnDPDU.jpg 121- http://i.imgur.com/tkdbWlH.jpg 122- http://i.imgur.com/JLyyoD1.jpg 123- http://i.imgur.com/Zix3Wkd.jpg 124- http://i.imgur.com/c9Q5fQw.jpg 125- http://i.imgur.com/mEMr80V.jpg 126- http://i.imgur.com/HRUz5ZF.jpg |
