Photohunt: View


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 and on Saturday at the home of the hunt here

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.

YTSL said...

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.

stan said...

i like the second one it is very interesting like it has a story to tell.

Gemma Wiseman said...

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!

tanabata said...

Those are lovely views! I'd really like to visit NY someday.

Kathy C. said...

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.

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! :)

Hootin Anni said...

Love the Autumn walkway!!!

Mine's up, it's a Cat's Eye View of fun.

Happy Hunting.

Sandy said...

mimi11460 said...

You probably had a great time in that beautiful place..

Gattina said...

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 !

 gmirage said...

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!

dixymiss said...

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.

Dragonstar said...

That first photo is stunning, with all the buildings and the trees as well. Love that design in the elevator.

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.

I am so glad that this is NOT true of you, My Friend.
