Did you know that even though it is an iconic symbol of New York, the Statue of Liberty (and Liberty Island) is actually located within in the state of New Jersey and surrounded by it’s waters??? Apparently, it is all complicated and involved some legal and jurisdictional disputes but it has been agreed that the …
This was shot at the tiny Pebble Beach (yes it’s called that) in the DUMBO area where you can see the city skyline against the famous Brooklyn Bridge. Found this while doing a very pleasant, albeit freezing cold, walk along the river starting off from the Main Street Park near the Manhattan Bridge and going …
I was hoping to get a beautiful sunset from this bridge but it was so cloudy that the sun was hidden and the colours muted. So settled for the blue hour and some light trails. Needless to say, it was freezing cold and wind on the bridge was not helping one bit. It was also …
The famous 22 story building, resembling a clothes iron, on 5th Avenue, New York, is an impressive structure. The clock is a 19 foot cast iron clock from 1909. Right opposite the building, across 5th Avenue, was the famous sandwich place called Eisenberg’s. I had their fantastic Reuben, which was out of this world!

After a long day’s walking around New York, we stopped over this cool restaurant / bar for some refreshments. This apple cider was delicious and being hot was perfect for the cold day!
It was a beautiful sunshiny day on the last day of my trip to Innsbruck, Austria. We went up Nordkette mountain, which has been referred to the Jewel of the Alps. The journey itself, on a cable car through beautifully designed stations was an experience in itself, but the view from the top was just …
This was shot 1,965m above sea level from the top of Patscherkofel Mountain in Austria, looking across at the Nordkette mountain range on the other side of Innsbruck. Right after taking this picture, I got a call to say that the lift cars had been closed down due to high winds and I had no …
I have been wanting to get some balloons, go to a nice open field and do this shot for the last few weeks but given the weather here (it was snowing last night!), it has been almost impossible to go out and take pictures without being frozen! I tried a few other ideas for the …
Another one from the Lumiere London Light Festival. The cinema kept changing into different colours and it was a nice backdrop against the busses whizzing past.
