Another picture from last year. This one was shot from Manhattan Bridge. Next weekend I'll be back in NYC for two days. A good friend asked me the other day if I'm missing my weekend trips to New York. The answer is no. I have lots of good memories of this dirty, noisy and overpriced concrete jungle. But fact is, I'm perfectly happy in California, which is by far the nicest place I have ever lived in. Except my real home in Germany I don't miss anything here, and I'm convinced that from now on my locations can only get worse. Anybody who knows me and does not come to visit me must either be broke or a big fool. Sorry guys, it's the truth. Take it as an invitation.
Anyway, after two days in New York, I'll take off to Iceland. My plan is to do a one week road trip exploring the incredible landscapes over there. There will be lots of hiking going on and most likely it is going to rain most of the time. I have to visit an outdoor store and get proper shoes etc. I'm still a bit challenged when being on my own outside of cities. Looking forward.

it's more than a concrete jungle...you just have to know where to go...but alas...either you love ny or you misunderstand ny. :)
Of course it is more than that. I can understand someone loving it, but I can also understand everybody who dislikes this place. I think I do both. Do you know this one? :)

Love this photo! takes your eye to explore everywhere!
No, you didn't! You didn't just direct me to that website.
Well, if our paths ever cross in NYC, you WILL see a different NY. beyond what "white people" like. :)
*shakes head*
Anyway, on another note, thanks for directing to Matt Webser. wow. awesome all around. talk about someone channelizing nyc's energy through photographs like that. love it. love it.
thanks,

Nice shot Oliver! Have fun in Iceland I'd recommend hiking shoes from Keen, been using mine for almost a year now and I love them - very comfortable!
Sorry Annie, I thought it was funny ;)
Are Keen shoes pricey? Iceland is not very friendly to travelers with a more than low budget. I have to save where I can.
Probably you know it already, but if not, here's a website to increase your anticipation of Iceland: http://www.typolover.com/_travel/iceland_2009/day_0.htm. This site was created by a french guy who went on a 23 days long journey through Iceland and posted something like 2000 pictures...
Have a great trip! I'm already looking forward to your pictures. :)
Oh I didn't know it. Are you expecting me to post 600 pictures then? :)
Actually, that's what I was hoping for, yes... ;-)
