Summertime Sunset

Wiliamsburg is known as one of New York City's most vibrant "hipster" communities. Maybe it's the aura of creativity and freedom that consumes the streets, paved with non-mainstream boutiques, bars and restaurants.

But this unique region of West Brooklyn also contains a great view of the Manhattan skyline. Only a 15-minute walk from the Bedford Station, the East River Park unveils the rich beauty of rising buildings that span across the East River.

As I stood there snapping away, I lifted my gaze skyward and reveled in the colors of the horizon - a dusty pink mixed with with pale shades of blue and orange, and thought about how the sky resembled a large painting that hung over the city. As the sun slowly descended, I watched the colors melt into stronger shades.

God never fails to amaze.

Slices of New York City

Music Under The Ground

NYC's subway stations are platforms for talent shows. If you're lucky, you might catch these break dancers in action. Oh, and the dancer in the red jacket is an Asian girl. Asian pride, yo! :D

BBQ Block Party

It's almost impossible to get bored in New York City. There's always something exciting going on, like a major BBQ block party, for instance.

Several Saturdays ago, BBQ restaurants from all over the nation flocked to Madison Square Park for one of the biggest BBQ block parties New York had ever seen. The vendors occupied the entire park and spilled onto the surrounding streets. On that sweltering summer afternoon, the area was crowded and infused with the pungent smell of meat and beer.
