Greenwich village - NY

Diz-se que é uma zona de artistas, com lojas diferentes e ruas pequeninas, que consegue separar-se da confusão de outras partes da cidade. Não é a minha zona preferida de NY, mas é um óptimo sítio para um passeio de domingo!

(só a título de curiosidade: a Magnolia Bakery, popularizada na Série Sexo e a cidade fica nesta zona - na Bleecker Street)

After a snow storm...

...everything is so beautiful!

Colorful Necklaces!

Frozen Carnegie Lake

And this is the marvellous Carnegie Lake after the (very) cold weather of the previous weeks...It is an amazing experience being able to walk on the lake!

Literally on the lake

It is impressive: cheetahs can run 113 km/h (70 miles an hour) for a few hundred yards (1 yard = 0,91 m)!

American Museum of Natural History - NYC

When the weather is so cold that all you can do is to be indoors, a Museum is a great idea to spend some time. I went for the Natural History one, in NYC. It is huge (4 floors), with great exhibitions, real size animals, history and legends from several people around the world. It is amazing for kids and adults.

I am posting some of my best shots.

The Blue Whale - typically can grow to 23-27 m (70-90 ft)
