New York Part II: Street Art

Street Art X

This took place maybe 15 minutes after Spain won the World Cup in football on July 11 2010. We had watched the game in Brooklyn, under the Manhattan Bridge, and it had just stopped raining. There was a beautiful wall painting a block away and a newly-wed couple appeared just as we made our way over.

Congratulation guys (bride, groom and Iniesta)!

Below are more shots of street art from different places in New York.

New York Part I: Skyscrapers anyone?

Central Park IV

New York is one of the most impressive cities I have ever visited. The skyline, pulse and people make it one hell of an experience. And thanks to my loving wife I had the opportunity to spend a few days there earlier this summer. In a series of posts I will share some of the photos I took.

This is part 1 – Skyscrapers. We see them in photos, on TV and in the movies but nothing beats seeing them live. I had to put my wide angle lense to use though so until you get there, here they are:

Kungsholmsstrand on a warm summer night. Just a few blocks from where we live. The reflections on the water looked amazing and the bridge construction was kind of cool.

The colors of the three “reflection” photos are almost left as they were (I’ve made them a bit lighter). However I decided to reduce the saturation of the three bridge photos in order to put more focus on the construction.
