Life's Moments: New York City! 21st Nov

2007-11-21. A trip to New York City, followed by Woodbury Commons, Nigara Falls, Nigara by the lake, Boston, back to New York City.

Wenhui busy at the airport getting the roaming going. Note the x'mas decorations, pretty well done but still lacking the x'mas feel...

Totally enjoyed the SQ21 flight! It was less than half full and so I had full privilage to run left/right to capture any nice views. Here's Orion!! It was a full moon and hence you can see the clouds 'glowing' white....

I like this shot better than the previous one though it doesn't have any constellations in it. One can see the curvature of the Earth! I'm like.wow..this is how Space feels like! The moon was really bright and we were really lucky to have flown when the moon was high and bright!

Waking up to a carebear's land....

Macy's parade! Blowing up the balloons is one of the great things to see, or was it? Traffic was so bad that we didn't get down the car to take a look. Anyway, a sneak of Shrek from here is good enough.

Ahh, a one key ingredient of getting to NYC is to have some of our pre-wedding photographs taken! Here's a perfect autumn day at Central Park!

Wenhui looking lovely in a Kai's gown in muted autum colours!

Pretending to wave to people arriving from Statue of Liberty tour

Stopping traffic in the middle of downtown, Manhattan!

After midnight shopping at Woodbury, one of many inns/lodges we stayed in, will put pictures of woodbury soon.

Finally got to Niagara Falls from Buffalo after picking up Diana. We were late for the fireworks..sigh, this is what I could pull off with frozen fingertips! Panicked a little at first as the battery just dieded, then quick thinking got me to take out the battery to warm it, and viola, another several moments missed, but overall an OK fireworks.

Morning from our hotel, (not our room though). Stayed at The Oakes. Really cloudy, and didn't expect much photographically.

The only touristy thing we did at the Falls, the journey behind the falls!

Didn't really get wet though.

The grandeur of the Falls. Wasn't that awed anyway. It's not as 'big' nor 'tall' as I anticipated it to be. The weather was also too cold to see the Falls in good view, the air was below freezing and hence the mist would hang in the air for too long a period plus cloudy weather = poor images.

On the way to Niagara on the lake! This part of the trip was in fact more enjoyable! Here an impression from a frozen canadian imaple leaf!

Brought my old Converse and wanted to dump it there, but didn't get to buy any new shoes from Woodbury commons and was perpectually fighting cold feet! Brrrr!!

Wenhui & Winne. Went around different Vinyards, and Inniskillin was one of them! We also tried Icewine from Trius and it was.....Fantastic! We bought a bottle...and..have not opened it!! *I can smell the 'lychee' aroma already!
