New York, Day III

A short visit to the beautiful Columbia University campus was followed by a short trip to Central Park and therefore a visit to the famous Strawberry Fields. Huge Beatles fan here. Huge. No photos from Columbia, at least not any digital ones. I will get around to scanning the prints...eventually.

Surprisingly the lineup for the Empire State Building Observatory wasn't that long. I don't understand why there isn't any cell reception up there. None of my 'signature' night shots here. Got there a bit too early and wasn't willing to wait four hours for the sun to set.

Only in New York will you find an elevated park made from an abandoned railroad. That would have been demolished or left to rot had that been located anywhere in the Philippines (a bit mean of me to say, but it's true). Free concerts, jazz and classical musicians here and there, food, interesting people and amazing views of the river and the city.
