Manhattan View, From the Sky

We boarded an airplane which was going to leave New York early in the morning.

Luckily, just a few minutes after taking off, the plane flew just near above Manhattan island.

The view from the airplane was marvelous. The scene reminded me of every minute having stayed in the Big Apple. 

Statue of Liberty from the Hudson River

It was more than one year ago, time really flies, when my wife and I joined a tour called the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises.

Seeing Statue of Liberty from the Hudson River became one of my precious memories while staying in New York.

Times Square in N.Y.C.

I went to the Times Square.

Times Square is in the Midtown Manhattan section of New York City at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue.

There were old theaters along the small back road near the main street of the Times Square.
The small back road area was called "Broadway Theater District."

I Go to The Central Park in Manhattan

I went to the Central Park in New York City on a hot and sunny day with my wife.

There were wild animals and birds in the park. Especially, lots of squirrels were running here and there, up and down in the park.

Many young people were enjoying sunbathing.
