Photo blog

Another round of blog with photos, since I have nothing to blog about in my life. This time I decided to put up photos of famous monuments or places that I've been to. Hehe. Must show off a bit. All photos put up are taken by me! I didn't cut and paste from other places. Just to make it clear.

This is Brooklyn Bridge in New York. It connects Manhattan with Brooklyn. This was taken while on a cruise around Manhattan. In the summer, it's supposed to be very popular for walking on the bridge but I've not had the chance to do that. This is Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, California. This is where the annual Academy (Oscars) Awards is held. We can't go inside the theatre itself, so lots of photo taking outside. On the pillars along the lobby are movies names that had won Best Picture over the many years. When the awards is held, they usually close off the roads in front and leading to this theatre.

This is Central Park in Manhattan, New York City. This is the view in summer time, when everyone would take the chance to picnic in the park. Because there's no beach within the city, people would also wear their beach wear (bikinis, etc) and sun-bathe at the park. It's very funny to see that because it just looks so silly that they're in swim wear but there's no water for them to swim in.

This is the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree. They put this up every Christmas until after the new year. You can see the tree in many movies if the setting in around Christmas, eg, Home Alone 2, etc. The people at the bottom of the tree should also let you know roughly how big the tree is. There's always a lot of people at Rockefeller Center around this period, from tourists and locals who are doing their Christmas shopping.

This is Capitol Building in Washington, DC. It's very majestic looking and anyone who gets to DC will think that this is the White House but it's actually not. The White House is actually a very normal looking building. The Capitol is where they have all those senate meetings, etc. When the Presidents take their oath of office, it was in front of this Capitol Building too.

This is the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, California. It was a bad day when I went, with fog covering the top part of the bridge. On a good day, one should be able to see the whole bridge. Although it was supposed to be summer, you can see that it's actually quite cold. That's San Francisco for you! Also, the Golden Gate bridge is not gold, it's red!

The very famous Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island, New York. Actually, from New York City itself, you can't see Miss Liberty very clearly. She is like a dot in the distance because the island is some distance away from the city. If you go to Liberty Island, you can't take very good picture also because she is too big. The trick is to take the whole statue when you passed by her on the ship to the island. I've seen her on twice when I went on cruises and only got on the island once to see Miss Liberty.
