America day five.relaxations and ancient kings
No response, Sep 03, 2010Again writing one day behind.
Mourning started with nice walk around the city. First to the grand central station or something like that. Oh now wait. First was actually B&H the most awesome store I have ever visited. If you don’t know what B&H is. Well it is huge electronic store. For me speciality was of course the camera section. Yes they had everything. all I was missing was a endless tree of money. Well at least I bought my self a lensbaby composer plus fish eye add-on. Also couple UV filters to protect my other lenses.
After that back to hotel and on our way. Towards the station…actually we found the station by accident…”could that be” “hmmm it might”. And we checked it out and it was it. Actually it was smaller than I tough. Earlier visions come from movies. Actually everything seems bigger in movies.
After some walking we arrived to the corner of Central Park and we were going to take a horse ride trough the park but it was so hot that horses weren’t usable. They would explode if they needed to walk. So we toked a bicycle ride. So that some guy did the work and we just enjoyed the ride. Human slaves, that is nice.
Ride toked us to the museum(The Metropolitan Museum of Art) and must say that it was amazing. Everything in that museum is so detailed. They have full room of old relics and they make the room look like it was in that time with those paintings,chairs and tables etc. Amazing looking. Also they had made fake windows that looked like the evening sun was shining trough them into the room.
Ok, at this point I am already at home in Finland! Hahaha yep this was left a little unfinished.
I try to remember the rest.
Other thing on the museum was the Egyptian part. worth of seeing. After the museum we escaped the scene by taxi. But where did we go? Ah now I remember. We went to the cruise. It was a couple hour cruise from Hudson river (yep they did mention the amazing landing to the Hudson river many times) to the statue of liberty and up the east side river or something like that. It was nice because it got dark and I got the chance to take loads of great photos of Manhattan in dark with some nice sunset moonlight on the background. After the cruise it was time to hit the hotel and sleep.
Now I’m actually still awake. It over 5:00 am here in Finland. So probably I’m suffering from the time chance or something. I will now go and try to get some sleep. I was there actually about 3 hours already just trying it…didn’t succeed.
And some photos follow from that day.
