New York City

I'm in a New York state of mind.

New York City's finest - responding to a call in Midtown Manhattan.

Madison Square Park in the spring.

Flowers - like a Monet painting.

Cherry blossoms at Union Square - remind us of Vancouver.

New York City Public Library.

Iconic Chrysler Building - 42nd Street and Lexington.

Bicycle couriers on fixed speed bikes - the fastest way to make a delivery.

Flatiron Building - Broadway at 23rd Street.

 Fashion window - 5th Avenue.

Empire State Building - 34th Street - maintains it's original allure.

Chess in the park - time to make a move.

Freedom Tower at Ground Zero - the mast being hoisted into place - 1776 feet high - now the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

Brooklyn Bridge - constructed in 1875 - we walked down from Central Park.

'The Bride on Brooklyn Bridge'

Grimaldi's coal fired brick oven pizza - under the Brooklyn Bridge.

Strumming 'Hey Jude' at Strawberry Fields in Central Park .....

..... and just like that - a group breaks into chorus.

Imagine - just imagine. The world needs another John Lennon.
