Displaced fruit and other New York oddities

Summer's over and so is the travelling for another year. In the last of the New York blogs ( I promise, I promise) I wanted to share a type of image you may not always consider taking. 

I've seen owners detach their rear wheel to deter thieves before, but I've never seen a selection 5 left waiting...?

Like the funnels of a pavement passenger liner, I love the way the third one is leaning in for a bit of support.

Manhattan is all about the skyline until you just look at the midline; then it can be just rows upon rows of vertical lines.

The big highlight for my eldest son this trip was to see the Statue of Liberty. Not for any historical or cultural reasons you understand, no; it's because it was a giant 'weeping angel' in his favourite Doctor Who episode. I'd discussed it and watched it so many times with him, that when I saw this knitwear dropped on 5th Avenue, I immediately thought of the iconic landmark.

Although this doesn't capture the grandeur of Grand Central Station, it is actually quite gloomily lit inside. 

Till next time...
