Plantboy visits Manhattan!

So, I will have to start out saying that the entire weekend was hazy, hot and humid. I was so dissapointed that every pic had a blown out white sky. Sure, I could fake a nicer sky in, but that would be cheating.

The trip started bright and early at the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport.





My wife and I were visiting friends who live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Most of the photos take place there and around the more popular areas of Manhattan.



























Day 2 started at 5am. Again, in the Upper West Side











Then onwards, through the subway and to see the Empire State Building.





...I am a manager at Walgreens, these are for the office






Back towards Times Square again









We were invited to our friend's children's baptism, the church was stunning!













Day 3 we tackled Union Square









A few leftover randoms









At this point, the remnants of Barry were starting to creep. The rain started and thus ended the photo safari. Thanks for viewing!

So incredible! A friend of mine just relocated from Philly to NYC. He moved into an incredible apartment right in the heart of Chelsea. So needless to say I absolutely have to get over there this summer for a visit.

Good shots Plantboy. I don't think the washed out skies in any way detract.
