New York Pics

Apparently Flickr lets you create only 3 sets if you are a freeloader - which is kind of an aaaagh feeling. I guess I have to rejig my sets. I am placing a few pics below, the full slideshow can be started from here.


Times Square.


Grand Central Station.


St. Patrick's Cathedral.


Atlas holds up the world.


A stealthfighter above Liberty Island.


That statue.


A view from the ferry.

    Nice pictures :)

    Who is the bull? Is it some sort of significant symbol to New Yorkers or is it just there? It reminds me of those big moose we had all over Toronto a long time ago. I wonder what happened to those..

    Liya: thanx.

    That's the New York Stock Exchange Bull on Wall Street. I think it's some kind of symbol for the exchange. It's quite famous (when they put the NYSE numbers up you can see the emblem of a bull in the graphics).

    Some of the Toronto moose are still there. I know for example in Scarborough outside Chapters on Kennedy commons, downtown near Spadina and Front on the east side, and so on.

    Samiha: Thanx.

    My favourite is this one. I got a few others I should probably compress and put up on flickr.

    Shirazi: Thanx. Do you have a blog? I clicked on your name in the comments and was unable to access a profile.

    Salaam. Great pics! Nothing from up on the Empire State Building, though? Didn't go up?

    In investing nomenclature, bulls and bears refer to types of markets: stock prices are expected to rise in a bull market and fall in a bear market. Hence the bull on Wall St to represent market prosperity.

    Maliha: Truly the city that never sleeps. Another strange sensation was to see a continuous stream of people emerge from the underground at EVERY intersection in Manhattan, on and on!

    Isheeta: Thanx, had a very, very enjoyable and fun trip.

    Nice Pics! I thought the Bull refered to a Bull market (as opposed to a Bear market). So just things going well and good fortune on wall street, etc.
