New Year Wishes 2011

As we say goodbye to 2010 and open our arms to welcome 2011, I am wrapping up my memories, successes, happiness and learnings in a shrink-wrap (the picture above is also shrink wrapped for that purpose).

I hope that this year was a wonderful year for you too and the next year would be much better and bring in more prosperity, happiness and success to you and all in your family.

Street Performances are something that we are used to from our childhood. This one fascinated me a lot. The guy was performing some magic tricks outside Central Park and you can see that he must be very good at it as all the audience (young and the not-so-young) were all spell-bound. I thought of adding the effect to the picture to bring forth the "magical effect". The show went on for around 30 minutes and the only one moving was the magician; as everyone else was just rooted there.
Just in case you happen to be in NYC and want to see the street performances; check out this link (not an official link).

Enjoy the Magic!

Wheels


This time I thought that I will make an exception and do some cropping, PP (Post Processing), bordering, etc. to enhance the usual capture.

This was a typical scene outside Central Park in New York as I came out to catch the metro back to my abode. More than anything that stuckme were the variety of wheels - from a inline roller skate, to a bicycle, to tricycles and to 4 wheelers - you could see them all in a single view. The avenue down the road leads to the NJ side of NYC.
