Back to New York. Part II

After the long weekend flying and walking around the upper side of Manhattan and Brooklyn, I spent the next Monday wandering around one of the prettiest parts of the city: the Greenwich Village. The first time I went to New York I didn’t pay much attention to this neighborhoood, but this time I discovered a beautiful area plagued with little houses, tree-lined streets, parks full of colourful tulips and giant peonies and pretty little shops, cozy cafes and restaurants. A proper village inside the huge city.
The day started a bit moody and foogy but as the hours passed, the sun came out and it was a delight to walk on those beautiful streets. I also visited the Union Square Market and the famous High Line, which was crowded with tourists.
At sunset I went to the Brooklyn Bridge Park. The first time I went to New York I tried to take a long exposure photo of Lower Manhattan from there, but I didn’t know exactly how to take it and I didn’t have a tripod then. So I returned to the same place, this time with a bit more of practice and a tripod, and finally I could take the photo that I wanted two years ago!

      Me encantó este barrio!!! La primera vez estuve más en las zonas típicas, Empire State, 5th Ave… impresionada por los edificios altísimos. Esta vez he querido explorar un poco más los barrios residenciales, más auténticos… Y me ha encantadooo!!!! 🙂
      Habrá que planear algun viaje para explorar algún sitio juntas! 🙂
