New
York City is always a good idea and visiting in the spring is an even better
idea!
I
recently spent about three days back in NYC, my first
time back on American soil in more than 18 months. I honestly experienced some
culture shock this time because everyone spoke English and the city is filled
with so many different colors of people. This is such a different scene than Poland
where we
currently live.
Besides
meeting up with family and friends, I love simply wandering around NYC with my
camera. I love her iconic buildings such as the Empire State, Flatiron and
other skyscrapers. I love the old metal fire escapes, the large windows and
brownstone buildings. There’s so much I want to capture an image of – little things
perhaps I didn’t take notice of as much when I actually lived here.
And
then there’s the city’s rebirth during spring. Pink and white blossomed trees
line the streets. People are out enjoying the sunshine and relaxing in the
parks. Planters are filled with colorful daffodils and tulips. I loved being
back in the city!
And
just to share my love of NYC, here’s a photo post featuring some of my favorite
springtime images I took during this trip. Enjoy!
Where do you like to enjoy spring?
 |
| NYC's skyscrapers surrounding Bryant Park. Did you know that Bryant Park is built over an entire structure that houses the New York Public Library’s archives? |
 |
| Bryant Park is a lovely patch of green located in Midtown Manhattan, between 5th and 6th Avenues and 40th to 42nd Streets. |
 |
| Springtime blossoms at the Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1917, located on the Upper East Side. |
 |
| I also love the water towers that dot the city’s skyline! Most buildings in the city taller than six stories actually need some sort of water tower and pumping system to provide water pressure to their tenants. |
 |
| If you're in the mood for shopping, head to Macy's on 34th Street. But remember to look up and look for the Empire State Building too! |
 |
| NYC's Flatiron building and spring flowers - what a wonderful sight! |

Great photos Joy. Doesn't blossom just change the whole perspective on anywhere it touches. :)
Not surprised you have culture shock when you were there. Amazing what you become used to, isn't it.
I was amazed to see these water towers and ancient air-con units in NewYork the first time I went. I expected everything to be cutting edge new for some reason.
NYC is SO pretty in the spring! I have a collection of similar photos :-)
Teşekkürler! So happy to see spring and greenery again!
@Annie, I heard the same thing from a French friend recently. He expected NYC to be all shiny and new and it isn't. 😊
@Heather, nice! Spring is irresistible! :)
