midterm

The pictures I've chosen were taken from each trip I've made back to New York. New York through out the seasons is beautiful.

The first photo is of the Verazzano Bridge as seen from the boardwalk, located in Staten Island. This bridge connects Staten Island to Brooklyn. Taken in late September, these two people walking were enjoying the cool, night air. This boardwalk, which overlooks the Atlantic ocean, is featured in the movie How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days.

The second and third pictures were taken in Manhattan in December. The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is a must-see for visitors to the city. Every year, Saks Fifth Avenue displays lights in snowflake designs on the front of their building. The lights flash when the Carol of the Bells song is played.

Baseball is the true sign of summer in New York. New Yorkers are lucky enough to have two options when choosing a baseball team. The fourth picture is of Yankee Stadium, located in the Bronx. The sun shining in June is shown in this photo. The fifth picture was taken in mid July at Shea Stadium in Queens. Both historical stadiums will no longer be used come the 2009 season.

The last photo is of the Brooklyn Bridge, as taken from a highway in Brooklyn. The bridge, which connects Brooklyn to Manhattan, is a landmark and is found in many pictures showing the city skyline. One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, I thought it would make a great photo for the conclusion of this assignment.
