Here is a gallery of some photos we’ve taken in New York City
Below, click one image for larger photos in a gallery format!
It was such a gloomy day in the summer of 2005 when our Carnival cruise ship left New York City bound for Canada that even the water appears ominous. Well, in all fairness, it wasn’t the cleanest water even back then. We had a cloudy send-off as the ship passed the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Complex and you can see the stern of the aircraft carrier.
Debbie got this photo at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum on Dec. 9, 2016, while she and Allison visited New York City on a four-day trip. It shows an overall view of the memorial.
Here’s another shot of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Complex on New York City’s west side that I got as we left on cruise to Canada in the summer of 2005. You can also see the Concorde jetliner on display to the left of the USS Intrepid at the dock.
Debbie got this photo at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum on Dec. 9, 2016, while she and Allison visited New York City on a four-day trip. It is a close-up of a list of the terror victims at the memorial.
Here’s a photo Debbie got while and Allison visited New York City earlier this month. Debbie got this photo on Dec. 8, 2016, on the first day of their multi-day trip. It is at a performance of the Radio City Rockette’s annual Christmas Spectacular.
Debbie got a nice shot of this window washer in Manhattan at a Lord & Taylor store on the morning of Dec. 9, 2016. The color; the reflections; and the framing are all good work that contribute to a wonderful photo. Debbie and Allison were in New York City for four days on a pre-holiday getaway.
Debbie got this nice shot of the Wicked Playbill at the Broadway show when she and Allison saw a matinee performance on Dec. 10, 2016. They were in New York for a four-day visit.
Here’s a shot Debbie got while she and Allison visited the Westfield World Trade Center mall near the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City on Dec. 9, 2016. They were in Manhattan for a four-day visit including a show on Broadway and seeing all the sights.
Merry Christmas! Today is Christmas Day of 2016. Here’s a shot Debbie got of a Christmas decoration in New York City. She and Allison visited Manhattan earlier this month and Debbie got the photo on Dec. 8, 2016.
Times Square is garish during the day, but becomes outlandishly garish at night. Here’s an evening shot on Dec. 7, 2016, when Debbie and Allison were on a multi-day visit to New York City. This photo by Debbie shows a pop-up Christmas store in the middle of Times Square.
The Today show was the pioneer of putting its talent out on “the plaza” at its New York broadcasting headquarters. Now, most other shows have either a view outside behind the talent or have the talent go outside to interact with fans. Here’s a shot Debbie got Dec. 9, 2016, outside the Good Morning America studios in Manhattan. Selfies were the order of the day … but I can’t tell you who the talent is – I don’t watch GMA (or Today, either for that matter).
Debbie and Allison are visiting New York City and Debbie got this photo on Dec. 8, 2016, on the first day of their trip. It is the stage ready for the daily performance of the Radio City Rockette’s annual Christmas Spectacular.
Debbie and Allison are visiting New York City for a mother-daughter getaway this holiday season. Here’s the country’s most famous and most-viewed Christmas tree (at least that’s my opinion): the one at Rockefeller Center. Debbie got this photo on Dec. 8, 2016, on the first day of their trip. The tree lighting ceremony was on Nov. 30 and it is lit daily.
Look close at the temperature sign Debbie photographed on the morning of Dec. 9, 2016, in Manhattan. It appears one side says 38 degrees (left) and one says 36 degrees (right). However, unless there was two degrees difference between each side of the building, the visual is caused by burned-out lights. Look really close and you’ll see the right side 36 degrees is missing the bulb that makes an “8” look like a “6.” I say this because the other has a different bulb burned out on part of the “8” and both need to be the same, so it must have been 38 degrees. Of course the sign on the left has a bulb burned-out on the degree, too, so it’s just a typical New York sign.
In the concrete canyons of Manhattan, you see the sunlight first on the tops of buildings. Debbie got this shot in New York City on Dec. 9, 2016, while out in the early morning. She and Allison were in the city for a four-day visit including a show on Broadway and seeing all the sights.
Today on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States on 9/11/2001, I’m reposting this photo I got in 2007 of a display of law enforcement and rescue personnel’s badges, button and logos at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City. We were on vacation when I took the photo. The souvenirs were left by members of all departments and agencies who helped in rescue and recovery efforts in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001. The rear of the chapel faced the Twin Towers property.
I got this shot in 2005 as our Carnival cruise ship left New York City bound for Canada. It was a cloudy send-off as the ship passed the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Complex (you can see the stern of the aircraft carrier).
I got this shot of a display of law enforcement and rescue personnel’s badges, button and logos in New York City in 2007. The souvenirs left by members of all departments and agencies who helped efforts in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001. I believe the display was at St. Paul’s Chapel, where rescue workers took rest break from their efforts.
Passengers certainly got a good look at the Statue of Liberty on our cruise to Canada aboard a Carnival ship in 2005. This shot has a bit of haze highlighted by the sun.
After a couple of days away, I’m back posting photos from our visit in 2007 to St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City. Here’s a shot of the “Bell of Hope” at St. Paul’s Chapel. It was presented to New Yorkers by the Lord Mayor of London and was cast in the same foundry as the Liberty Bell and London’s Big Ben. The chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers.
As this backlit shot of a sailboat shows, you really have no poor views while on a cruise ship. I shot this one while we were on a cruise to Canada in 2005.
Here’s a view of the lower Manhattan skyline on a cloudy afternoon as we left on a cruise to Canada in 2005. The dull gray of the clouds nicely matches the dull gray of the water. In the center of the frame is the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum at Pier 89. The museum was closed the next year for renovations to the displays, including the USS Intrepid.
Here’s another shot I got of a display of law enforcement and rescue personnel’s badges, button and logos at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City. The souvenirs were left by members of all departments and agencies who helped in rescue and recovery efforts in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001. The rear of the chapel faced the Twin Towers property and it became a focal point for emergency crews. I got the shot when we visited the city in 2007.
Here’s another shot of dark clouds over Manhattan during the start of our cruise to Canada aboard the Carnival Victory in 2005. I grabbed this one as we were leaving New York City.
Here’s a back-lit view of the Statue of Liberty from the balcony of our stateroom as we were leaving on a cruise to Canada out of New York City in 2005. You can see all the photos you want of the Statue of Liberty, but seeing it in person is much better.
Here’s a shot of the street sign at Broadway and Reade Street in New York City. I got it when we visited in 2007 before our cruise to Canada. If you look closely, you’ll find the designation “African Burial Ground and the Commons Historic District.”
It wasn’t a good late afternoon (note rain on window) as we left for a cruise to Canada aboard the Carnival Triumph. I believe the cruise was in 2003, but the digital record isn’t clear.
Passengers were certainly get a good look at the Statue of Liberty on our cruise to Canada aboard the Carnival Victory in 2005. I grabbed this one as we were leaving New York City.
The American flag pops out with a splash of color in this shot of the Manhattan skyline in 2003 as we prepared to leave on a cruise to Canada from the city’s west side docks.
Here’s another shot I got at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City in 2003. St. Paul’s Chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers. The photo shows the chapel’s historical designation marker.
Here’s a photo of the stump of a 100-year-old Sycamore at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City in 2007. St. Paul’s Chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers. The tree was destroyed when debris from the Twin Towers rained down on it. However, the chapel’s trees protected it and not one pane of glass was damaged. The stump commemorates the heroism in the tragedy of that day. Also, you cannot escape seeing advertising just about wherever you go.
The buildings of Manhattan give every photographer a chance to get some interesting angles for photographs. I like this one, although it really isn’t special by any means. I took it in 2007 when we visited New York on our way to Canada on a cruise.
Here’s an exterior shot St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City from our visit in 2007. I used a very wide angle lens and that’s why you see the distortion in the photo. The chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers.
Here’s the marker for “the fence” at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City from our visit in 2007. In the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001, the chapel was used by rescuers and emergency workers and its wrought iron fence became a place to hang memorials and mementoes.
Here’s another shot I got in 2007 of the stump of a 100-year-old Sycamore at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City in 2007. St. Paul’s Chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers. The tree was destroyed when debris from the Twin Towers rained down on it. However, the chapel’s trees protected it and not one pane of glass was damaged. The stump commemorates the heroism in the tragedy of that day.
Here is the Memorial Altar at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City. I got it in 2007 and the altar was created in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001. I used a friend’s extreme wide-angle lens on my Nikon to get the shot.
Here is another of my shots at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City from 2007. The chapel became a key symbol in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001.
I got this shot of street signs in Manhattan when we visited in 2007. The sign for Broadway indicates “Canyon of Heroes” and it is the area where ticker-tape parades are held. The other is a sign designating Vesey Street.
Just like Disney World, it’s impossible not to get an interesting photo while walking the streets of Manhattan. I got this one of a building’s clock when we visited in 2007.
I got this shot of visitors looking at a presentation board at at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City from our visit in 2007. In the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001, the chapel was used by rescuers and emergency workers.
Just as I posted yesterday, it’s impossible not to get an interesting photo while walking the streets of Manhattan. I got this one of a street streetlight with a building in the background when we visited in 2007.

The tree was destroyed when debris from the Twin Towers rained down on it. However, the chapel’s trees protected it and not one pane of glass was damaged. The stump commemorates the heroism in the tragedy of that day. The detail in this shot is some of the stones on the stump.

The chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers.
The historic Sun Building in Manhattan has a traditional temperature clock. Even at modern suburban banks do you see the traditional clock anymore; much less a temperature report. I got this shot (sorry for the poor framing) when we visited New York City in 2007 to leave on a cruise to Canada.
New York City’s historic structures, such as the Sun Building in Manhattan, make a nice backdrop for even a photo of a traffic signal. I got this one when we visited New York City in 2007 to leave on a cruise to Canada.
You only have to look up to see “Broadway” on buildings in New York City. Of course this one is a bit more permanent. I got this one when we visited New York City in 2007 to leave on a cruise to Canada.
Take a close look at the woman posing in front of the construction screen at the Millenium Hilton in 2007. It appears that the woman with her back to my camera is showing the other woman how to pose. It’s funny what you can get in a photo – I was shooting the front of the building and didn’t notice the women … honest! I believe the hotel, which is adjacent to Ground Zero from the 9-11 terrorist attacks in New York City, was having some construction done when we were visiting the area. It was extensively removed after sustaining major damage in the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers and reopened in 2003, according to Wiki.

Here is the grave marker of William James MacNeven, who was an Irish-American physician and writer. MacNeven is buried at St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City. I got this shot during our visit in 2007. In the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001, the chapel was used by rescuers and emergency workers.
Here’s a shot I got inside St. Paul’s Chapel during our visit to New York City in the mid-2000s. The chapel was used by many departments and agencies that helped in rescue and recovery efforts in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001. The rear of the chapel faced the Twin Towers property.
Here’s a close-up of the Ten Commandments behind the altar. I got the shots during our visit in June of 2007. In the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001, the chapel was used by rescuers and emergency workers and its wrought iron fence became a place to hang memorials and mementos.

Just about every person who views the Statue of Liberty photographs this most iconic American symbol. Here’s a shot I got of another tourist taking a photo of it as we began a cruise out of New York City – headed to Canada – in July 2005.
Here’s a look back at an auspicious start to a cruise out of New York City in June 2005. We were early on board and so there’s few vacationers topside. Also, it was a dreary afternoon as you can see by the clouds. We were off to Canada on a five-day cruise.
Here’s another view looking back: Tourists beginning a cruise to Canada get a look at New York City’s skyline up close. I got this shot in the summer of 2005 as we headed off on the cruise.
Here’s another photo of St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City from one of our visits to the city in the 2000s. I used a friend’s wide angle lens in this shot. I believe it was taken in 2003. The chapel was used in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 by rescuers and emergency workers.
I’ve posted 17 other photos of St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City. It was the site of being a rallying point for first responders during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I photographed it during several visits to the city in the 2000s. This shot of the chapel’s municipal sign was taken in June 2007.
