A chunk out of the Big Apple

Six views on Chinatown plus what Ms Holga wants out of NYC.

First: West 84th Street - straight out of Breakfast at Tiffany's or Sex and the City your choice (I chose the former).

Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece "Falling Water" in Millrun, PA - it was a perfect sunny crisp day too

a rainy walk from Bloomfield, detour (by accident) into Shadyside on my way to Oakland to find the Carnegie library - never did find it but had a nice walk. I love this photo

One of the best parts was the Carnegie International "Life on Mars" and this piece was fabulous by Thomas Hirschorn. It's up till 11 January so if you haven't been you should run out and see it - quick!!
