The Brooklyn Bridge, New York
The Brooklyn Bridge is a bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. With a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), it was the longest suspension bridge in the world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire suspension bridge.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal
Renewal is Cheri Lucas’ challenge.
This word conjures a variety of images, from bright blossoms to meditating monks. When I think of “renewal”, I think of starting a new job, arriving in a new city that’s ripe for exploration, walking through a new apartment with white walls, and taking a hot shower after a challenging day. I
Share a picture that means RENEWAL to you!
I have chosen two photos for this week. The first one is quite obvious: a seemingly dead branch suddenly sprouts with life! 😀

First I’ll show you why I don’t like cities:
See what I mean? It’s gray, dirty, concrete and ugly. This photo was taken from the Brooklyn Bridge, New York, in 2010. The city of cities, some say.
But there are also things I love about New York. It is alive every minute of the day. And night! It bubbles and is energetic. And there are pretty sights too, like this one:
And this tower:
And now from a modern city to an ancient one. San Gimignano in Italy. This view is much more to my liking and is forever imprinted in my memories.
Which city do you like most? I also love the old part of Barcelona, and small English cities with their culture and ancient, historical buildings.

To be a King in Central Park – New York
This photo was taken on our trip to New York in 2010. Central Park is definitely my favorite place in the Big Apple. Perhaps because I need to have green around me 😉
What is yours?
