wow! wonderful photos.
how big is your zoom to get a close-up detail of the Chryler?

Thank you.

It's taken with a 720 mm lens, which means prox. 30 X optical zoom.

A very touching memorial to the victims of 9/11 from the people of Liverpool. Have you seen my pictures of the Strawberry Fields gates on my Liverpool thread?

Strawberry Fields was a childrens' home until 2005. It started off its life as a victorian merchant's home, and was later bought by the Salvation Army to use as a home for children taken into care.

Great quality, like always Benonie! I can't wait to see your view from rural America. I also hope you will post some pictures of the train and the railway infrastructure. The states are not that famous for passenger trains, as far as I know. It would be interesting to see if this is true

garcia.calavera · September 21st, 2011, 10:41 AM

nice style of shooting , love the tour and and the pics , especially the ones with the cars in the rain. What camera do you use?

Benonie · September 21st, 2011, 07:43 PM

I'm afraid I will dissapoint you a bit. I have some pictures of trains and rural areas, but not so many... But I've maid a little film with my camera, I've mixed it and will post it later.

No, but I will look for it on your Liverpool-thread right now.

Brooklyn.

We rented a flat in Brooklyn, at Henry Street, Carroll Gardens.

View from our roof terrace.

Manhattan, seen from our terrace.

Brownstone houses.

Downtown Brooklyn.

Colombia Street Waterfront District, Brooklyn:

We'll take that bridge tomorrow.

Do you have any images of the new urban park/garden - that was created on the overhead railtrack, that runs through the meat-packing district?

I've yet to visit New York - but this fascinates and appeals to me.

Benonie · September 21st, 2011, 09:02 PM

You mean the famous 'High Line'? Unfortunately not. It was on our 'to visit'-list but we didn't make it. Too much, much too much to see and to do... But there well be a next time, that's for sure.

El_Greco · September 21st, 2011, 09:04 PM

Nice shots, NYC looks good!

openlyJane · September 22nd, 2011, 12:13 AM

New York, in spite of its mass and density of population always strikes me as a friendly place? Would I be correct? Do people talk to each other?

Your photos convey a certain warmth and intimacy.

I, generally, do not like very large cities- because they are often impersonal & positively unfriendly. I do not like London for this reason - and have never had any desire to visit Paris or Berlin. Rome looks interesting though!
