New York - part 5

Hi!

How are you? Hope everything is fine.

Today's next part of NYC's description. More places and more attractions in this last part. So, let's continue!

New York Public Library

Impressive building with big stairs where many people take photos with Bryant Park at the back of the library. Those stairs are really popular because of its appearance and lions made of stone. Tourists can even go inside (for free) and, choose and read some old books, or, just use the free Wi-Fi.

Statue of Liberty

In the end, finally, the biggest attraction in NYC - a Statue of Liberty. Number one to see there. Millions visitor every year. To be in NYC without seeing this statue is like being in Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. A Liberty Enlightening the World. A colossal sculpture from XIX century on Liberty Island Manhattan . It's a gift from France, designed by Barthodi and even G. Eiffel! The statue presents a robed woman who is a symbol of Libertas, a Roman liberty goddess. Height of copper statue counts 46 meters, from the ground to torch the statue has 93 meters.

That's all about NYC from me. As you see, there is so many places which are worth to see but I haven't described everything yet. Hope it was interesting for you 😉

See you!

New York - part 4

Hello!

Happy New Year for You! Hope you are doing well.
Today's next part of New York City's description. I have prepared some more things to present you. So, let's go!

Rockefeller Center

It is a vast entertainment situated in the middle of Manhattan with a shopping complex. It's home to NBC-TV, radio and other media. What is interesting, there is an Art Deco skyscraper with a great views over New York City, especially Manhattan. The highest place on this skyscraper is called Top of The Rock Observation Deck which includes three floors.When it's Christmas Time, on Rockefeller Center we can admire a huge and lit up Christmas Tree every single year.

Empire State Building

The 381-meter-tall, 102-story in the middle of Manhattan Art Deco skyscraper, with unforgettable views. For many years it was the tallest building in New York. Your visit will not be completed without seeing this. This spectacular landmark is one of the most popular view in the world. There are two observatories. When the weather is favourable, you can see up to 80 miles, you can even see a neighboring states, like New Jersey or Massachussets.

Broadway 

Broadway and the Broadway Theater is one of the most popular street in New York City. Shows which  take place on Broadway are a must-see in NYC. To see one of those shows, we should buy a ticket in advance.

What is more, there is a Shubert Alley, popular alley only for pedestrians in the Theter District. In the past, young actors were walking there to look for a possibility to play. Some of them debutem on this street. And, of course, S.Shubert played there more than 6 thousand shows.

NYC will provide us unforgettable memories, that's for sure. In general, I don't like huge cities but  I think this city is worth to see. 

See you next time!

New York - part 3

 Hello again!  😊


What's up? I hope you had a happy Christmas time ;) It was very difficult to find some time to post something new but now, after Christmas, I am ready to continue. 😊 So, let's go!

Grand Central

An amazing railway station, one of the most impressive I think. Mostly, it is the first you will see when you will arrive to New York City. There you can feel like you're participating in some movie. Moreover, on this railway station a lot of movies were recorded. But it's not just a railway station, there is also a shopping centre and it's a perfect place for some meetings.

New York - Roosevelt Island Tram

 It's a very untypical tram on Roosevelt Island - a small island on East River. We can get there by "airtram" which is an attraction for tourists as well, biggest than this island, with a great view form the window of this hanging gondola, especially at night.

Wall Street

A very popular business quarter in New York City with impressive skyscrapers. The heart of economic system of all the world. A stock exchange on Wall Street with a giant american flag became one of the most recognisable symbol of New York City. This place is incessantly crowded by tourists and elegant businessmen.

That's all for today. See you next time!

New York - part 2

Hello again!

How are you? Hope you're doing well. Today is a time for New York City's attractions. I think everyone knows most of them, but maybe you will learn something new 😊

Museums of Art

There are a few museum of art, just like Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art or Guggenheim Museum. The first one is the most significant museum in the world, often called "Met". This museum has about 2 millions of exhibits documenting the history, culture and art of all the world. We can admire many works created by Rembrandt, Rafael, van Gogh or Monet. Museum of Modern Art, known as MoMA, is one of the most prestigious collection of modern art. Guggenheim Museum has many works from XX century and, of course, modern art.  The building of this museum is very impressive - it's a work of art designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Guggenheim Museum

High Line

Oasis situated on the west side of Manhattan. This elevated linear public park is an exciting attraction in NYC. There is a variety of plants and trees with glass railings what gives a natural feel. Moreover, there's a great view at the city and Hudson River.

St Patrick's Cathedral

I couldn't miss this cathedral because I really like cathedrals like this one - impressive, high, big, in general - Gothic ones. In New York City it's a great example of Gothic Revival. The building was erected in 1879 and renovated in 2016

This is the end of this part but I will continue next time. Hope it's not boring and maybe you can learn something new about New York!

See you!

New York

Hi!

This time I'm writing about the most populous and the greatest city in USA - New York City. A global power city, cultural, financial and media capital of the world, with a significant impact upon entertainment, technology, commerce, education, politics, sports and research. That's a lot of "the most" I think. New York city is also famous of many great places, just like Empire State Building, Central Park, Brooklyn, Rockefeller Center, Metropolitan Museum of Art, High Line, Wall Street or, of course, a Statue of Liberty.

But what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think "New York"? For me the answer is obvious but it doesn't have to be the same things for everyone. So, New York brings to my mind, first of all, yellow taxis in the crowded street, traffic jams between very modern skyscrapers, people who are always in a hurry, running to work with a cup of coffee in their hand, additionally very well-dressed and stylish. New York brings to my mind also Central Park with people jogging or doing some different sport, as we can see in many movies shooted in New York. I can't forget about billboards which we can see anywhere in New York City, I think, and which gives a lot of light, especially when it comes to Times Square.
What is interesting, at Times Square was the first solar powered billboard which you can see below:

And what New York City brings to your mind up first? I'm waiting for your comments :)

Next time I will describe some of the biggest New York City's attractions 😊

See you soon,

Colorado & Arizona

Hello!

As you see, I will be writing about Colorado&Arizona this time. Colorado has a diverse geography - mountains, plains, deserts with big sand dunes and deep canyons. Because of that, the climate in more complex it this state. I think it is a perfect place for nature lovers ;) Sometimes  the earthquake occurs there because of its mountainous terrain.

Colorado Desert

Arizona has an upland terrain and in north part of is a Colorado Plateau the climate in Arizona is dry, tropical and subtropical.. The temperatures are very high. The desert steppes with cactuses  are creating a plant life.

One of the biggest tourist attraction in Arizona is, of course, The Grand Canyon. It's a steep-sided canyon by the Colorado River in Arizona. The Grand Canyon is 446 km long and 29 km wide. This terrain is a Grand Canyon National Park. There are different hypothesis when it comes to the creation of this canyon. The most popular says that it was a very long process who had commenced 17 millions years ago and the canyon was becoming deeper and deeper. There is also a completely different version which says that the canyon was formed in a few days. But the most important is that today we can see an impressive huge canyon in USA!

The Grand Canyon

I think it's the most noteworthy place when it comes to these regions, both very dry and desert. I think it's a great place for those who are passionate about nature.

That all for day. See you next time :)

The most popular inscription in the world

Hi!

Today's next part of California's description. So, let's continue this trip :)

Hollywood

Perfectly visible from the Lee mountain. We can only imagine how 9 white letters can create the most popular place in California where everyone would like to have a photo. In addition, this inscription is visible from almost every place in Beverly Hills. There is also the Avenue of Stars - a pavement with a brass stars with the names of famous and respected people. It's a tourist attraction since 1958.

Death Valley

The hottest place in America.A picturesque desert with the highest temperatures.The climate is very dry. The valley is situated in the south of California with the Panamint mountain range around. There are some rivers like Salt Creek or Furnace Creek and Badwater lake with unusual fauna. The valley became a National Park in 1994.

That's all for today.

See you next time!
