New York part II

Am now a little better.

Had a tourist day. Which mostly involved getting stuck in 'train jams' on the subway (no pictures because not even I'm that depressing), but also going out to Liberty island and checking out Times Square.

NYC from Liberty Island. Taken by a very kind french dude.
Times square is where the nightmare-ish visuals from cyber-punk come from. Except more annoying and less Spider Jerusalem running around on top of cars.

I tried to take an arty shot here. Didn't really work.


Liberty Island doesn't really have much on it. The infrastructure, especially for an area that seems to be entirely about tourism is kinda poor. Very patriotic, but really a huge tent for your airport security gear, old broken docks and poorly maintained boats...

I suppose that's most of NYC though. Lots of money floating around over the top of struggling barely coping infrastructure and loads of people all ignoring each other.
