Looking south from Manhattan across the East River to Brooklyn and Queens.

Looking west across the Hudson towards Jersey City and Newark. Our Marina is right beside the tower block on the left ... behind some trees.

Looking north from the top of the World Trade Centre - out there somewhere is Times Square and Central Park and, further out, Harlem and The Bronx. L

Amongst the trees, there were open grassy places and squares. In this one, everything from a man blowing bubbles to a couple getting married.

I have no words ...

'Ground Zero ' was a sombre spot despite the tourist paraphernalia surrounding it.

Met this old girl at the Southport Maritime museum near the Brooklyn bridge. When the staff found out we were from the Falklands, we got a private look into the holds and work shop!

This is the view from the end of the marina across the Hudson at night.

There were lots of interesting artifacts in the Statue museum but this was striking. A life size replica of her face.

This is the entrance to the registration area and hospital complex and the sight that greeted millions of people from Europe.
