Postcards from NY?

Well you will see from the following photos that Fiona and I have escaped the hot weather and rain of Maleny to holiday and celebrate my birthday in New York. We have had a couple excellent blue sky days, then a cloudy-drizzly day and today a bit rainy. So we have walked and done as much outside stuff as we can just in case the rain and/or snow hits and we can then head indoors to the galleries.

So just a few images (postcards) from NY....... all taken on iPhone.

Barry Smith© Hot dogs in Central Park NY
Barry Smith © Chrysler Building in the drizzling rain
Barry Smith © Chrysler Building in the sun
Barry Smith © Top of Empire State building in cloud
Barry Smith © Statue of Liberty in morning fog
And of course some of these photos were chosen because they offered better opportunities for alteration as can be seen below.

Barry Smith © A soft altered look at the Chrysler Building 1
Barry Smith © A different look at the Chrysler Building 2
Barry Smith © Altered detail of Cloisters arch
Barry Smith © Empire State - altered
Barry Smith © Statue of Liberty in fog - altered
So as we are away from home my art on Friday, and other days, will be play with my iPhone and iPhonegraphic alterations.

    Hey there, you're practically down the street! Have a great time in NY, hope you don;'t get this ice, snow and rain we've been getting in Massachusetts. Makes getting around rather slow going!

    P, AM, K, VA, N, S/R, V, JM & CM - thanks for the birthday wishes - what a way to celebrate the event!!! VA - because of our poor sense of geography we did not realise that some folk were close by - be good to catch up next time?? CM - we continue to be mesmerised and enjoy ourselves. V - since we can't get up to see you maybe you can get to see us whilst in Aust??? B
