World Trade Center New York | 2¾ years ago

8r4d One last post before bed.... and a long day of travel home. A view of the city from the top of World Trade Center One. New York was always here but I don't think I ever gave it much thought until 2001. And then what happened a block away from where I took this pic to the buildings that bore that name brought it into focus and shaped the direction of history for most of us. The kid had a nine-eleven year herself, traveling to Gander NL this summer and today through the memorial and up into the sky. A kind of complete circle in a way, for us at least. #newyork

Park Avenue | 2¾ years ago

8r4d Just after we walked up Park Avenue out of Grand Central Terminal we were back at the hotel and the first Avengers film was of TV... and just a few minutes away from the scenes on this street. In that film the fictional Stark Tower was cgi'd over the Metlife Building (centre) and the maim battle with the aliens took place pretty much where we were standing in this pic. The iconic Avengers standing/crouching in a circle pose is just up on the bridge in the right of the frame. And this hippo may as well be painted green and stand in for the Hulk. #newyork

Central Park Mall | 2¾ years ago

8r4d Whenever you see it in a movie it's always a bustling Central Park scene where the protagonist's story reaches a dramatic conversational plot point. Today it was just raining and though we saw a couple soaked couples and at least three wedding parties, we also pretty much had it to ourselves. #newyork
