New York City Photo Tour - Thursday May 17th, 2012

From London to New York a beautiful day for a cross country drive.  We arrived into New York City just before 7:00 p.m. this evening.  Traffic was a little heavy as we approached the city, but slow moving made for great photos out the bus window.

After check-in the group had the evening to do some exploring, a few joined Dave and James for a walk to Time Square which happens to be only 10 blocks from our hotel.  It was a fun evening just walking and exploring the many interesting sights and bright lights of the city.

Tomorrow we start our morning with a visit to the 911 Memorial, followed by Battery Park, some riverside photography and then some free time in the afternoon.  Tomorrow evening we will take our motor coach and head over to Brooklyn for some night photography of the New York City skyline.

That’s it for this evening, we are back in our hotel relaxing after our journey today and ready to get out and explore more of New York tomorrow.

Good night form Dave, James and the rest of the Photo Trekker Photographers in New York City.

So jealous!!! I could live in NYC. Great shots. Jamie, have you had to bail NA out of jail yet? 

Looking forward to your impressions of B&H. Remember it's closed on the Sabbath (Saturday).

Keep an eye out for Sting in Central Park. He's a frequent walker there and lives close by on CPW. 

Keep the photos coming!!
