Mother's Day NYC

May 20 2009

For Mother’s Day, we each got $1 bus tickets to New York and rode up in the morning. We were going to go have a day in the city and then my brother was going to meet us there on his drive back from school in Indiana. Turns out his car’s transmission broke and we had to limp the car back in the middle of the night. I only had my 300mm lens with me so I ended up getting some different shots.

We went to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked over it to have lunch in Brooklyn.

On the way back over, about two dozen police cars flew down the bridge. I don’t know what was happening. It generated a lot of interest from bridge walkers.

You can see people poking their heads over to see what was happening.

Visited a park on the NYC side of the bridge. New York City never fails to supply unique people.

Outside of B&H Photo. Got to test out the 400 2.8. Love it.
