The Big Apple

My girlfriend Camilla and I went on a much-longed-for metropolis vacation to the one-and-only New York City in September 2011. We were busy little bees indeed, combining intense sightseeing and shopping sprees with culinary highlights, cultural extravaganzas, and birdwatching in Central Park. Doing Manhattan, mostly on foot, in 10 days proved to be the ultimate vacation. A selection of pictures from the above-mentioned categories can be found in this album.

Make sure you view the pictures in original size for the best quality. See size options under each photo. No pictures can be used without permission.
