Still oh so tired and missing the Big Apple (big time). It's cold and overcast here (bah!) but I have some great memories from the last few days.

This one was looking over the Hudson River. Blue skies ahead!

Still oh so tired. Gotta back up the images I shot from the laptop onto DVDs and sit in front of photoshop for x amount of hours but I don't think that will be happening today.

So, here's one I prepared earlier. Today is going to be spent catching up on a little more snoozing, nipping into town and paying some bills and hoping that the post holiday blues will not be descending upon me.

I'm home, jetlagged and knackered. Sod the rules, I'm gonna grab a couple of hours of zzz's as some annoying tosser insisted on shifting her knees against the back of my seat for the entire duration of the flight. See you on the flipside.

I really don't want to come home. Seriously. I walked up from Battery Park to midtown but stopped off at the WTC site. It's changed a lot over the last few years but there is still a silence there that cannot be defined. I was wandering through the conduit in the Financial Centre and stopped for a moment. I heard a particularly mournful saxophone being played but then realised there was no tune, only random notes. It then hit me that it wasn't a sax but a noise coming off the metal work. I like to think that it was the voices of those lost, still trying to remind us and communicate but it was more scientific than that I guess.

Anyway, as an aside, this image would make David Lynch proud. This is situated off Roosevelt Island.

Spotted these guys in St. Mark's. They seemed pretty cool and were happy to be photographed.

The first few turned out a bit posed but after waiting for a while I got this one which seemed a little more relaxed and less forced.

The story on these guys is that they are travellers, heading across the USA and are hitching from Rochester NYC to Hawaii.

My view on Friday night.

It was a bit smoggy but you get the idea. Not sure what is happening today but must remember to use extra sunblock.
