When in New York the first thing you need to do is to buy yourself a Metro card so that you can travel by the local subway which is the nervous system of the city. It links every inch of the five boroughs – Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Brooklyn that make the city and you can travel to any part of them. I spent most of my time in Manhattan which was supposed to be the origin of the present New York City and you will see that my images reflect that. Besides the metro card, arm yourself with a coffee or a hot chocolate , honey roasted nuts ,a good camera and loads of energy, for you have to walk to see every aspect of the city. The streets, the subway and the shows are as much fodder for your lens as the monuments and the statues..

Entertaining visitors in the Battery Park, in Manhattan. The park which has several memorials and statues is so called as this was where the artillery battery was parked by the colonial rulers – Dutch and British. Facing the New York harbour, the ferries to Statue of Liberty leaves from the remnants of an old fort called Castle Clinton .

There streets of New York reverberate with energy and music that cannot be explained..there is always something that is happenning here..A TV programme and some performers caught my attention


Most tourists visit the site of the World Trade Centre which is now being rebuilt. The Trinity Church and the St Paul’s Chapel which is the oldest surviving church of the area is another landmark there. Today it is a memorial for all those who died in the tragedy .


Times square – The most buzzling square which is a montage of malls, broadway shows, restaurants and the massive neon signs. There are live web cams here and this is the place where the famous New Year ‘s Eve celebrations are held.

And finally the lights of Manhattan
