Daily Photo #38

So, feeling better today physically after a visit to the doc's. After a health scare last year I was pushed through a shed load of medical tests due to family history stuff (I won't go into detail on that as I don't want to bore you all) but liver, kidneys, thyroid and cholesterol are all fine. BMI could do with improvement but come the warmer weather I can start my walking regime again which is good.

So, off work until Thursday due to a viral infection of ears/throat/upper chest which is far from fun as all I can do is sleep or lie down due to not being able to hear or stay awake for more than one hour at a time.

So, at times like this my thoughts turn to good things like holidays! Now, US trip to Las Vegas is not too far away but I feel a bit of a sell out not going back to Manhattan so to cheer myself I went through some of my old pics and found something that makes me smile/brings back good memories. We've been to NYC six times now and it gets better and better on each visit. The place is like an onion, everytime you pull back a skin something new is revealed. We spent a lot of time on locations below 25th this time and the outer boroughs. Coney Island was an utter blast and this one sums it up for me.

Coney Island, even out of season just exudes this atmosphere that cannot be put into words. It's just wonderful, think Brighton multiplied by a bit of David Lynch via a 70's Grindhouse movie and you're there.
