Walking New York – Day 8…
by Rodney Campbell on May.30, 2014, under Life, Photography
Having just walked the length of The High Line we figured we’d just keep going north east and head towards Times Square
On the way we stopped for lunch at Hells Kitchen and checked out the Flea Market there
After that it was onwards to Times Square so the the younger girls could visit places like the massive Disney Store and M&M’s World – chocaholic heaven
We then walked back into midtown and back through Central Park (so my wife and eldest daughter could have a chance to explore this time)
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.

The rest were all pretty tired by now having walked around half of Manhattan from below 14th street out to the western edge near 10th ave along the high line and then up to times square, through midtown and up through Central Park to 72nd street – they all left me and caught a cab home whilst I decided to continue through the park and eventually walk home
On my travels through Central Park I’ve ended up seeing a number of birds and animals we just don’t have here in Australia including a WoodPecker and quite a few Squirrels. As I only had my ideal wildlife lens on (jokes 🙂 – the 24-70) I did what I could (actually he seemed very interested in the seeds and quite unafraid so I was able to get very close)

It was the start of spring and whilst there were still many trees completely devoid of leaves on others things were really starting to bloom everywhere

and finally I’m on the home stretch – the beautiful tree lined walkway going along the side of the massive Reservoir between 86th and 96th
Nice Day for a Walk

and back home in plenty of time to watch another fantastic sunset from our room
