From Sea to Shining Sea - New York


Over July/August this year I traveled through America, visiting four cities and staying about a week in each one

Fourth and final stop - New York



Times Square.
A heaving sea of tourists and touts.

Coffee and donuts - so New York.
You can tell who the locals are as they avoid the crowded sidewalks and stroll on the street!








  
My stereotypical shot of New York - Yellow Cab, Orange and white steam vent and an American flag
