Hot ..Humid....Hazy

Well, I went sight seeing yesterday and the weather was crazy. It's as if it was the middle of summer. I believe it reached 88 degrees with a humidity of 95 and visibility .5 miles. It was really hard getting any good pictures. Not to mention that we were in downtown during the middle of the day. I did take some pictures and if you look through them, you will notice that I have added my comments. The pictures aren't the greatest, but I think their worth checking out. So what are you waiting for.....scroll down!







We stopped by Gray's Papaya and had a couple hot dogs for lunch. Nothing really special about them. They're OK but I still like the Chicago hot dogs more. Probably had to have grown up here to appreciate them.







This is just a random picture taken at a random intersection just to let you see the mass of humanity walking through the streets.




A bridge walkway in Central park





A squirrels eye view of Central Park. Really nice park. Kudos to whoever decided to put a park in the middle of Manhattan.






A Lilly patch in Central Park









Looking down the street with large buildings on both sides.





There were street vendors all over.




This fire truck was trying to get through traffic. It had its lights and horn going full blast. Good luck, there was traffic and people everywhere.






This poster was actually right above Gray's Papaya restaurant. Really funny show.




In Rockefeller square, there are flags all around it from different countries. There are 200 flags displayed and they get rotated periodically. I looked all around for the Lithuanian flag and lo and behold, it was next to the American flag(the yellow, green, red colored flag is the Lithuanian flag). Wow, that was kind of wild seeing it next to Old Glory.





This is a corner of a bottom side of a bridge going through Central park. I loved the coloring and the ceiling was gorgeous. It appeared to be made out of tile, mosaic looking. These pictures really don't do it justice. How do they manage to keep graffiti off of it?





Had to post a picture of what it looks like in New York on garbage day.








This is one entrance to Central Park near 59Th street. Again, a lot of haze which makes the picture look washed out.











Here is that bridge that I mentioned in my previous picture which had the mosaic pictures
