Spent my 65th birthday in NYC this year in September – had a fantastic time, I can’t say I love NYC but I always enjoyed every visit so far.
I guess it we were at the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge on our way to JFK airport for homebound, not totally sure – but when I turned around to the left this was the view I had and this is my last photo I took of Manhattan. Now looking at the photo I get a bittersweet feeling. I don’t think I will go back (been 10 times), there is so many other places to visit – but I don’t want to say goodbye for good. I left a piece of my heart behind, have such fantastic memories with NYC!
Why not join the challenge … or at least check out everybody else’s horizons; Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon

Love the music, Vivi. And the quote 🙂
Jo, thank you so much …. but what about the photo *laughing.
You caught me out! I’ve looked at some spectacular shots tonight and yours wasn’t what I expected. (but that’s not a bad thing- you would never want to be predictable 🙂 ) Hugs, Vivi.
Jo, there is more to life than …. beautiful views of sunsets, sunrise .. and mountians. *laughter.
Oh, no there isn’t! Is there? 🙂 Smiling.
Are we having our first argument, Vivi? Laughing.
No, I don’t think so … !!!!
I will give you a some sunset …. tomorrow.
it is such a huge city!!
Yes, it truly is … and this is only a part of Manhatten.
I like your horizon picture. It is so NY 🙂
Have a very good start into the weekend xo 🙂
Dia, I read your post this morning in a rush …. delight yourself …. I’m so envy. Never been, but have friends that goes every year. On my bucket list.
Thank you, dear Viveka! I am and I will 🙂 Been in the ocean today…warm temperatures and everything wonderfully relaxed 🙂 xo
My friends are going there next months for …. 3 weeks.
They do that every year. Are you alone???? .. I know you have a very good friend there.
Meeting friends here and surprise for another one 😉
Wow, what a fantastic long weekend … enjoy and be good to yourself. I’m sure there will be some posts and photos.
I know you will get a fantastic weekend … just spoil yourself.
Thank you so much! Yes, I am having such a wonderful time and with my friends here and the fantastic weather…what more can I wish for?!?! 🙂 xo
I always see this place in the movies, but I can imagine your surreal feeling as you say goodbye for sometime 🙂
Yes, it felt like I left a bit of my heart … behind – becuase I been there so many times, but there so many ohter places I want to visit. Have to hurry up … roughtly only 25 years left. *smile
Many more to come still! 🙂 where’s the next stop?
No, I don’t think I will have more then 25 years … and that is a lot. *smile
Hopefully Florence, Italy … in the spring.
Ah..beautiful sights 🙂 looking forward to reading your post! 🙂
Andy, I don’t know if will be blogging .. all those years to come, but I hope so.
Did you have a second post, Vivi? The link won’t open. (I bet I like that photo better 🙂 ) Teasing 🙂
I put it on draft … because it was a bit heavy … about 9/11. It’s probably a better photo, but no.
Ok 🙂 I like this one anyway. How is the pain tonight?
The pain is not so tough on me anymore, the medicine works – 6 days left of it .. but I feel some discomfort tonight, so I will go under the duvet and look at some TV.
See you tomorrow … and a hug for later on. *smile
Ok. I’m off to the bath with my book and wine. Take care till then. 🙂
Good Morning, Sunshine – I hope you kept the head about the water … *smile
Wish a fantastic day.
Just over my shoulder is the most beautiful sunrise. I’m looking at it and thinking of you. Thank you. I’m off to a great start 🙂 And to you too. Enormous hug!
Sunrise now ????? Has you sun slept in ???!!!!
I wish you a fanstastic day, Jo.
He’s lazy in Hartlepool! Just peeping over the rooftops. Must be because we’re further south, and the time difference? And you, hon. 🙂

Belated birthday wishes Viveka!
Thank you so much, Julie …. now I’m an official pensioner of Sweden. I made it !!!! *laughing.
It is often quick snapshots like these that with no real setup or thought that bring back the sweetest memories of visits… and it is photos like this one that I love… it will say so much to you in years to come, and bring back special little aspects of your visit… I have some photos from NYC that have very little composure or thought, in fact I’m not even sure where it was taken, but it does strike a memory of a wonderful meal we had at one of the restaurants… where I felt so sorry for this little old lady that I nearly offered to pay for her meal when she left at the same time as us… then promptly got into a new Corvette and drove off wheels spinning and all… hell she should have offered to pay for my meal…
NYC is a city full of contrasts … exciting, inviting, amazing … but also very brutal, bold and raw.
I have been so many times in NYC through my work and also private – but I think this time … I enjoyed it more, because I wasn’t that captured by the buildings … kept my eyes on the street level.
Can you imagine what would have happen if you offered to pay for her meal or maybe that was the meaning of it .. so she could afford buy that Corvette.

THaaaaAAanks!
Thanks for the visit. I have seen so many beautiful images of New York City. I’d love to find those same spots and take my own photos.
Happy late birthday.
P.S. Going out and taking pictures will keep you young. ;0)
NYC is like a candy store .. with objects to put the camera against – absolute everywhere is the things to caupture.-
I think it’s more important that you find your own spots – there isn’t 1000’s of already. That is the magic .. in NYC.
Yes, the camera keeps me young … I hope, even if my feet cries in the evening.
If I may suggest …
My feet used to hurt. I went to a podiatrist and my chiropractor. My feet are like new.
Nice to know, I will investigate … but it’s the aftermath from my chemo than has effected my feet – driving me mental at times.
I can imagine. Some days I was almost in tears. I pray you find a solution.
Thank you so much for your kind support – had a bad week passed … I hope that they will find out soon what is wrong with me. *smile
Blessings to you.
Phyllis

Thanks for the plingback!
Another layer of NYC – if you look closely, the nitty gritty parts of the city add to its character.
Yes, I totally agree with you … that is what makes the city so interesting. *smile
Love your photo Vivika.
Thanks, Linda!
