24 Hours in NYC

This past Saturday, I decided to skip town and voyage up I-95 to New York City. It had been a month since I last visited my favorite city other than DC. While there, I did not capture as much as I wanted to. Actually, I did not really capture much at all. Other than standing on my friends balcony and snapping three quick shots, my camera did not join me while I perused the city's offerings. Next time up, I promise to give all a peek into what I like to do while in NYC.

Places

In my last post, I provided photographs of my favorite music artists. In this post, I want to share with all one of my favorite places to relax. You must do some searching to find it. It is located west of the Key Bridge along the Georgetown Waterfront in DC. If you are able to locate it, you will find a place that is peaceful, scenic, and quiet despite airplanes, boats, and automobile traffic all within a close proximity. Enjoy.

Daytime DC, Roaming Free

As noticed in my previous post, DC at night is bare, quiet, and unbothered. However, when the sun rises, DC traffic and commotion control the day. In a city with thousands of people on a mission to get from one place to the other, it is hard to find a quiet place to roam and get from point A to B...

so I stick to this...

and enjoy my day!

DC at Night

On a boring night last week, several of my friends and I decided to hit the road and go visit the monuments and the offerings of downtown DC at night. It was well past midnight and nobody was on the road, on the trails, or touring the sights. Here's a look into our adventures:
