In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, I’m running a post link-up on my blog so the world remembers all the amazing things there still are to do and see in New York State. If you have a blog post about a trip you enjoyed anywhere in the state, please link up at: http://gobigorgohomeblog.com/2553

Hello all,

I have an ongoing feature on my blog called Travel Photo Friday, where I post one of my own photos, or someone elses photos to get everyone in the mood for the weekend through travel. 

I'd love your input, so if you have a photo you'd like featured, all you need to do is contact me on the following email address:  travellightbulb@hotmail.co.uk and tell me where your photo was taken, and a little bit about the place - just a small paragraph. I'll also link to your own blog if you so wish.

Below is a link to a New York City contribution to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:

Travel Photo Friday: Manhattan Madness

Thanks in advance for any contributions.

Mandy

New Post: Things You Discover Walking – Clifton Hill Shot Tower

Have you ever wondered how they made those little round balls that passed as bullets in the olden days? You know the type I mean. Small, round, lead balls that had to be rammed down the barrels of primitive muskets and pistols, before they could be fired at an assailant or enemy combatant. Well, today’s Things You Discover Walking entry provides the answer.

A couple of kilometres from the home I am currently house sitting (in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy North), is a tall chimney-like structure that towers high over the neighbourhood of Clifton Hill. A little research reveals the column to be the Clifton Hill Shot Tower, a structure that was first erected in 1882.

New Post: Musicians Below New York

One of the many things I love about New York City is the range of amazing musicians and singers who eke out a living performing across the city’s subway network. Actually, ‘eke out’ may be the wrong expression. Judging by the amount of money some of these musicians are able to earn in tips (based on my observations), they may in fact be making quite a good living.

Of course, this only applies to the best of the performers, but then to survive as a performer on New York’s subway stations you have to be more than good, you have to be very good. So today, I thought I’d feature some short films that focus on a few of these subway singers.

New Post: Make Your Dream a Reality

In my first post for 2012, I mentioned that many people have found ways to indulge their love of travel, often for extended periods of time, and that if you are prepared to make the commitment and sacrifice, you too can travel sooner rather than later. What I didn't include in that post, however, were links to some of the many blogs and websites from these travellers. So today, I have decided to address that omission.

All the travellers highlighted have embarked on amazing personal journey's that often defy logic, logistics, money, and maybe even common sense.

New Blog Post: Zuccotti Park, New York City

On both my trips to New York City in 2008 and 2010, I have at various times found myself wandering through Zuccotti Park. Strictly speaking, it is more of a plaza than a traditional park, and in fact it used to be known as Liberty Plaza Park. Created in 1968, the park was one of the few open spaces with tables and seats in the Financial District. It is located just one block from the World Trade Center. Following the events of September 11, 2001 it was left covered with debris, and subsequently used as a staging area during the ensuing recovery efforts.

Woo hoo, the new year is finally here, and now the countdown to my next New York City visit can start in earnest. Mind you, it is still six months away, but given the way the months and years seem to fly by nowadays, I'm sure I will be booking tickets and boarding flights before I know it.

Stay well, New York.

Jim

We spent much of this holiday season celebrating in NYC, where I seem to have developed a dangerous obsession with gingerbread!

We're off to Montreal later to spend the week! Should be fun! Happy holidays, everyone!
