The photohunt theme this week is view. Since I am always showing the view from North Carolina, both the part where I live as well as the mountains to the west and the beaches to the east, I thought I'd show you a different view.
For my fiftieth birthday last fall, my family gathered in New York City where one of my sisters lives. The shot above is the view from my bedroom at the Washington Square Hotel. When I'm in a city, I enjoy looking out over all the buildings, especially when there is a lot of variety as I got from this view.
When we stepped out into the hall, I enjoyed viewing the elevator markers. I'm not used to elevator numbers that look like the one above.
The view across the street from the hotel includes Washington Park which is lovely. I always enjoy city parks. They are so important in the middle of the buildings and concrete. Garibaldi below has a good view of the park.
If you have time, please visit the views which SabineM and I are showing in parallel shots on Snap2Days.To find other photohunters you can browse on technorati for early birds here

Congratulations on being fifty and fabulous.

Bah, I miss New York! Hehe.
Cool views you got here. A nice from your hotel room is what I always wish for when I travel.
some beautiful shots there Miss Carver, the big 50 huh, I will be 71 in december
Pretty view entries my friend nice. Happy weekend.
A lovely park right in the middle of busy New York city! It should be relaxing for the busy people.
Happy weekend!
Thanks for taking us from your hotel room down to the park. Nice views indeed.
Your New York-hotel themed entry got me thinking about how I've visited New York several times but never stayed in a hotel there (thanks to having New Yorker friends to stay with, etc.)! ;b
I love the elevator marker. What a lovely way to brighten up what could be an everyday thing.
We agree that city parks are important. They help keep you grounded.
nice walk in the woods. I would love to be there!
These are all great views and I can hardly wait to go to NY one day. :D Mine's up now, too.
That's a nice elevator marker. It's the best I have ever seen! :P
lovely lovely lovely shots. so nice.
Happy weekend.
Those elevator markers are special, Carver!
i like the second one it is very interesting like it has a story to tell.
Interesting pics as I have never seen New York! But, I must admit, I love that Art Nouveau elevator marker! It looks like Audrey Beardsley's style! Quite unique for an elevator!
Those are lovely views! I'd really like to visit NY someday.
I am such a country loving person, but there is something about city parks that attracts me - very nice photos. :)
The verdant face of the city. I am a sucker for Art Nouveau or Deco.
Neat shots... very cool elevator door!
Wonderful views! I'm hungering for such lush greenery, as summer has scorched everything and we haven't had enough rain yet to "paint" the world green...
Happy Weekend! :)
Love the Autumn walkway!!!
Mine's up, it's a Cat's Eye View of fun.
Happy Hunting.
This are great shots...love the Art Deco elevator.
Thanks for reminding us that there is so much more to NYC than Wall Street! Great photos.
These definitely are lovely views. I remember that NY trip because you blogged about it :)
have a fun weekend, Carver :)
You probably had a great time in that beautiful place..
At least that was an interesting view ! when we stayed in NY, the view was on a wall and the whole night we heard the firemen sirenes !
Like you I only have views of the east and thats what I have on my post! Thanks for sharing great views today, happy weekend!
Great views, Carver. Looks like a fun and eXciting setting for a birthday celebration. I love city parks too ~ especially those with history, statuary, stone and ironwork. They're such a welcome reprieve amongst the concrete and glass.
I've never been to NYC before. Nice view. :) This is a perfect view isn't it? Here is my view.
That first photo is stunning, with all the buildings and the trees as well. Love that design in the elevator.
Beautiful views, Carver. I like photo #4 best. :-)
I have never been to New York City. I enjoyed seeing some of the views of this city from your eyes. The park looks so peaceful. Great choices for the theme this week!!
Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I am so glad that this is NOT true of you, My Friend.
Love, K.
Thanks so much to everyone for visiting my photohunt post.
Great shots all but I particularly enjoyed the elevator numbers! Hope you have a great weekend!
thanks for sharing all those lovely photos...have a geart week ahead
That's a lovely view from the room. I like the creative elevator markers.
applause for art deco! :)
Love seeing the VIEWS of NC especially the park, I love the trees amongst the city buildings.
Hope you are having a good weekend
Oh I love these views! I love to visit NYC.
Thanks for visiting mine. I had a nice unplugged weekend at Topsail. Have a good week!
i guess this is one favourite theme for me.
lovely views!
