Sandra and I visited the city of New York last week for birthday treat. We had an amazing time walking, looking up, photographing, and just enjoying the city. We discovered that we were only five minutes walk from Grand Central Terminal, and on the first evening I grabbed this photo from the bridge on the downtown side.

Sandra and I drove up for an overnight in the historic townlet of Hawkshead. The gaggle of streets nestle under the gaze of Hawkshead parish church, perched on a hill, overseeing the tourists and travellers.
