Deliciem-se nestas imagens antigas de NYC que mostram toda a maravilha desta cidade. :drool:²
Só dá-me pena é ver o que já se perdeu naquela cidade... :cry:

These are photographs of New York City between the early 1940's the early 1960's. The photographer is the excellent Charles W. Cushman. Enjoy!

uau Otimo thread... NYC é muito bonita mesmo!!!!

palavras para quê...

eu acho-a muito degradada para ser sincero. não novos edificios construidos agora e tal.. mas esses bairros de suburbio estilo "era industrial".. que lá segundo sei são aos montes.. :toilet:

Não se confundam...esta NÃO é a Nova Iorque de agora...estas fotos tem 40/50 anos...e vão por mim, a cidade dos dias de hoje está um milhão de vezes melhor, mais limpa, segura e moderna. Alguns edifícios aqui retratados já não existem de facto, mas muito poucos, apenas três ou quatro, tudo o resto continua lá.

Parecia Gotham City! :uh: O estilo pouco amigável e imponente dos edificios na altura, com muito betão e linhas rudes verticais :)

:drool: um paraiso urbano, apesar de actualmente estar mais limpa e organizadinha a NY dos anos 40/50 e 60 era mistica hoje em dia ja h'a muitas imitações o estilo da cidade banalizou-se um pouco.

parecia uma cidade industrial ou assim.. nem era feia.. mas era pesada percebem? tipo.. feia nao era.. mas nao gostaria de viver numa cidade como a nova ioorke de ha 50 anos atras.

(alias nem de agora mas pronto)

Excelentes fotos..... NY era o ex-libris da altura.....

Na foto aerea reparem na preocupação do desenho urbano, os quarteiroes todos bem defenidos...

Belo Thread! :applause:

Na foto aerea reparem na preocupação do desenho urbano, os quarteiroes todos bem defenidos...

de facto espantosa a organização :yes:

o que eu acho é que nova iorke tem uns locais muito duvidosos.. parecem cenarios terceiro mundistas... bem sei que estas fotos ja sao antigas.. mas muito deste ambiente mantem-se em muitos locais de ny

Excelentes fotos :okay: Grande cidade.. NY pode estar diferente.. mas na mnh opinião a mistica continua toda lá.. :colgate: :applause:

o que eu acho é que nova iorke tem uns locais muito duvidosos.. parecem cenarios terceiro mundistas... bem sei que estas fotos ja sao antigas.. mas muito deste ambiente mantem-se em muitos locais de ny

quem não os tem? conta ai uma cidade k não tenha locais duvidosos :sly:

so que ha cidades em que se referem mais os locais duvidosos.. outras em que se referem os melhores locais.. e como se nao bastasse.. ainda se tem estômago para se dizer que os locais duvidosos sao bonitos.

ha é paises k so mostram o que tem de melhor tipo Europa e America do Norte etc etc etc :yes:

Muito boas estas fotos.

A cidade de NY é fantástica.

Fantastic pics!!!!

o que eu acho é que nova iorke tem uns locais muito duvidosos.. parecem cenarios terceiro mundistas... bem sei que estas fotos ja sao antigas.. mas muito deste ambiente mantem-se em muitos locais de ny
qq cidade tem cenarios terceiro mundistas, inclusivé o Porto, how about that?

Já vai ficar chateado :lol:

entao porque muitos dizem que o rio tem favelas e nao sei o que??? que interessa isso? o rio tambem tem magnificientes jardins.. edificios.. praias.. etc!

o que acontece é que ha cidades nas quais se fala mais na miseria.. outras em que se fala so das coisas boas.. eu nao tou a falar do porto.. tou a falar no geral jonny.

Já vai ficar chateado :lol:

nao me conheces mesmo! tens uma ideia feita de mim muito errada, devo-te dizer.. mas tambem nao me importa muito..

ha uns tempos atraz recebemos cá um casal amigo Americano e ao passar mos no vale da Amoreira, o Americano vira-se para nos e diz "good looks like Bronx"

nao me conheces mesmo! tens uma ideia feita de mim muito errada, devo-te dizer.. mas tambem nao me importa muito..

A ideia que tenho de ti é aquela que tu demonstras..... agora vires depois dizer que não és como fazes parecer....
