My NYC photos - A Meeting of Minds

Nefermiw · May 14 2006, 10:53 AM

As some of you know, I'm in New York right now. I'm here for a total of 3½ weeks, and since I just love to take photos, i thought I would share some of my NYC photos with you.

Yesterday it was our anniversary (5 years since we met and 2 years married) and it is our tradition that we go to a zoo on that day. This year we went to the Bronx Zoo!
It's a huge zoo, and most of the animals have excellent "homes". I was very impressed with what they have made for the gorillas. We walked around for a bit over 4½ hours, and I took a total of 150 photos. I have uploaded 33 of the best to my flickr account. If you want to see them click here:

You'd never know you were in the middle of one of the largest cities in the country, would you? Absolute beautiful, Nef!

***Hans*** · May 14 2006, 05:38 PM

Figured it out too, wonderful pics indeed, Nef!

Nefermiw · May 14 2006, 05:56 PM

Glad you like the pictures.

Sorry if I posted a bad link - I guess I forgot to check them after I posted.

Thank you for sharing these with us. I enjoyed the kookaburra one.

Greenrider Tresa · May 14 2006, 09:39 PM

Nef, Thank you for sharing all of your aniversary pictures with all of us, we love going to the Zoo in San Diego, they are always great fun. Happy Aniversary.

Fantastic photos, Nef, I love the tiger one

But I feel sorry for a poor polar bear stuck in New York

Nefermiw · May 19 2006, 12:40 PM

The polar bear was one of the few animals that didn't have a nice exhibit. But of course with polar bears, it would be impossible to give them the amount of space that a wild polar bear has.

I've put some of the pictures that I took at The American museum of Natural History yesterday up on the internet. Most of them aren't sharp, and unfortunately it wasn't allowed to take pictures at the Darwin exhibition.

You'll find the pictures here:
