5 Av and 53 St where, apparently, no one can find a scraper, or, a can of paint. Gotta love New York! This will be my last post for a couple of weeks. Heading out to St. Lucia for a missions trip with 29 high school students from our church’s youth ministry. Looking forward to partnering with the Evangelical Church of the West Indies for a 5th time and seeing old friends as well. Be back soon WordPress family!
I am enjoying the summer and opportunities to ride and take some photos. Taken this past week on the bridge that crosses the Illinois River in Morris, Illinois.
This is just a 2 minute walk from my house. Our subdivision is on the edge of, well… let’s put it this way: on a clear day I can see Iowa, and on a really clear day I can see Los Angeles! 🙂 It has taken me some time to enjoy the Mid-West geography, but, an end to the day like this makes it a bit easier.
I recently sold all my Canon gear and the proceeds went towards the purchase of a Fujifilm X-T1 with Fujifilm XF 18-55 and XF 10-24 lenses. This is my first post using the new camera and 10-24mm lens. I have lots to learn, and lots of 5D MarkII images to post as well, but this is sort of a milestone for me. Hope you enjoy! This was taken in Morris, IL, along the banks of the Illinois River.
The restoration project at St. Patrick’s Cathedral is on a colossal scale that is only matched by the beautiful cathedral itself.
Bethpage is a town on Long Island, and apparently, this amazing sand sculpture as well! I do believe that the dragon in this sculpture is called Lignum, who can be seen flying around WordPress Land. 😉
You have the famous (or infamous) subways of New York, which have been known to provide a place of residence for medium sized dogs (a.k.a., New York subterranean rats with a New York attitude), and you have this: a passageway beneath the streets of lower Manhattan. I think this is a preview of what is to come when the new World Trade Center Transportation Hub is complete.
Another image of St. Patrick’s from my recent trip to NY. I hope to see this wonderful space after the work is completed!
St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in New York, is a magnificent example of Neo-Gothic architecture. It was dedicated in 1879 and is currently undergoing a massive restoration for both the interior and exterior. The amount of scaffolding – on the inside and out – is absolutely staggering.
One more shot from my recent trip back home to New York.
