From New York City to Montréal.

Benonie · September 11th, 2011, 12:40 PM

In July and August we travelled in 4 weeks from New York City to eastern Canada. We first stayed in Brooklyn, took the Amtrak-train to Niagara Falls Ontario jumped on the Via Rail train to the Canadian capital Ottawa, continued east to Quebec-city and ended our journey at Montréal.

Don't expect a detailed travel report, but lots of pictures of fantastic places.

On a day like this we start at Ground Zero, as a tribute to all the victims of this terrible terror.

This damaged work of art moved from WTC to Battery Park.

Lower Manhattan.

ha I just did almost the reverse 3 weeks ago. Took the Amtrak train from Montreal to NYC. Hudson River is very beautiful, even as far as the outskirts of The Bronx. Look forward to more pics

Great pcs! I Love NYC
BTW God bless the lost souls in WTC

Benonie · September 12th, 2011, 09:26 PM

Thank you guys.

From Lower Manhattan we walk to Battery Park, the most southern point of the island.

At Battery Park millions of tourist get on the boat to Liberty Island and Ellis Island each year.

Back to Manhattan.

The presentation and framing is quite good. Keep up the good work. When is the best time to visit the museum to avoid the crowds?

I read wednesday is the best day to visit museums. But it's best to buy your tickets in advance, so you do not need to queue. Or buy a New York Pass which is cheaper and faster. Once inside the museum it doesn't feel crowded at all.

Wow! Seriously good pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed my little snapshot visit to New York ( I've yet to visit!).

Even though we are all familiar with NY through film & cinematic representation, your photos really conveyed atmosphere and something of the spirit of the place.

openlyJane · September 15th, 2011, 11:26 PM

Where are the Montreal photos?

Nightsky · September 16th, 2011, 01:06 AM

I arrived from NYC some weeks ago. You captured the atmosphere of Manhattan well!

Benonie · September 16th, 2011, 04:30 PM

Thank you!

Seriously, they will come at the end of this little tour, which will bring us from New York to Niagara, Ottawa, Quebec and finally Montreal.
