Few pictures of NYC a day

Well, last week I went to the grand opening of the new High Line park in Chelsea.

And a few panoramas of the park, sorry if they're a bit small but they were from my flickr. If anyone wants to see the full version, let me know.

well the picture was done at Jewish holiday called Sukkot. And he is holding the so called The Four Species which are:

* Lulav (לולב) – a ripe, green, closed frond from a date palm tree
* Hadass (הדס) – boughs with leaves from the myrtle tree
* Aravah (ערבה) – branches with leaves from the willow tree
* Etrog (אתרוג) – the fruit of a citron tree



Every Jew is invited into some sort of temporary shelter. Where he is asked to
pray together and offered food and drinks. This is going on for the whole week
- usually right after the Jewish New Year. It is considered a very good deed
and god suppose to acknowledge your piety if you take the time to do that.


here is one of these shelters in front of UN building
