New York welcomed us with a sunny blue sky the first day (Dec 22) we landed. As if the sun were brought with us from California, it disappeared the next days we were there. But the heat stayed on：）) New York turned out to be much warmer than we thought.
Our four days’ trip there was fully packed. We walked on an average of more than 20,000 steps, getting in and out of the old subways over a dozen times. We strolled along busily thronged streets, looking up at skyscrapers that look like clusters of shining jungles made by steel and glass. We visited museums and parks in the daytime, and watched glistering light shows at night. The famous Central Park impresses us with its sprawling open land. It must be a gem for Manhattaners, who work and live in high-rise buildings, dine in a tiny squeezed restaurant. This must be a place they could always retreat to breathe in fresh air and get away from the city’s hustle and bustle for a while.
To travelers like us, while the leafless trees under the sunny or gloomy skies are a true winter sight, the light show on Saks 5th Ave felt like a fantasy. It’s the best light show we‘ve ever seen, a lavish feast for eyes set to lively music. A bird’s view from the tram overlooking the city gives us a glimpse of the city intersected by the Hudson River, while the night at Times Square thrilled us with its overwhelmingly flaring billboards and its clamorous crowds. Jostling through them, we smelled the sweet food as well as the stirring wisps of marijuana.
On the train, we met a blue-collar worker sitting with a cart by his side, who in his broken English told us that he is from Mexico and has lived in New York for twenty years. We came across a white guy at Little Island, who stopped to talk to us in Chinese, telling us that he has been to China more than twenty times. His first visit was made in 1973, and he knew of Premier Zhou and Chairman Mao. At Manhattan, we invited a girl to dinner, listening to her stories at Columbia. On the day of our departure, we had lunch with old friends, who came from Northern CA to see their daughter in New York. Our trip to New York is enriched by these encounters.
From the boisterous crowds who cheerfully wriggle to the music beat, to an Indian playing sad flute music at the Central, to the filthy homeless people who sleep on the cold subway ground, New York may have many untold stories.
New York is a metropolis that appeals to young people around the globe. People with dreams come here in an attempt to find their places. New York welcomes and accomodates them, rich or poor. It's a vibrant city that beams with a beconing light.
在2024的雲端，聽著遠方有你，看暖mm穿梭在紐約的大街小巷，不由再一次怦然心動。感謝時光的善待，讓我們在2023的年尾有過這麽一場相擁相逢和相遇相知。暖mm，好喜歡你這篇，一字一句都動人心弦。也超喜歡你拍的照片，這些畫麵雖然無數次從我眼前掠過，但你拍攝的視角給人一種全新的震撼。昨晚看著Empire State Building的紅配綠和燈火輝煌的Brooklyn大橋上絡繹不絕的人流，還在想不知你有沒有都上去走一回。想說的話很多，語短情長，暖mm，我們雲端有約！
一千人就有一千真相， 一千個人眼中就有一千個紐約。 暖冬來旅遊的時間不長，但是看了這個城市的經典。 照片拍得都非常漂亮。 “People with dreams come here in an attempt to find their places. New York welcomes and accomodates them, rich or poor.”， “一座比萬花筒還迷幻多彩的城市，也讓我們看到它的破落和生活其中的艱辛”。 暖冬眼中、筆下和鏡頭裏的紐約， 何其夢幻又真實， 何其華彩又沉重。 謝謝你的好文。
喜歡你的這篇博文，寫的感情充沛，畫麵感很強，也很感人。喜歡你拍的所有的照片，每一張都好，水平不一般，景點選的好，視角也不錯。特喜歡第一張，想象力豐富，不乏幽默感，對現實的憂慮和恐懼也快要溢出畫麵來，一切盡在不言中，滿滿的藝術感。A picture is worth a thousand words. 繼續節日快樂！
