Fishing @ Holmes Run Park

There wasn't a need for this blog, but wrote it as photos appear better here than in Picasa.

Started towards the Holmes Run Park Stream at 5.15 am; reached by 5.45.

In the beginning, there was water......

Mustafa, the fisherman, preparing the line.

This is the entrance from where we came towards the stream

Finally Fishing

Still places like these usually have fishes.

Surrounding forests.

Bilateral symmetry: Perfect reflection captured.

Somebody likes these flowers.

There is a jogging/cycling path alongside the stream......

......and it crosses the stream at many places like these.

50% Sunlight : 50% shadowed.

Just posing for camera. This is no place to catch fishes.

Forests

This is the last photo. But no photo of fish caught???? Well, I didn't catch any though Mustafa did catch 3 Blue Gills. The rules here are different. You have to catch and immediatley release the fish. Can't take it home; you can only practise here. And on top of it, no live baits. So as soon he caught the fish got too involved in releasing it back.

Left the place at around 10.15.

The Time of my Life @ NYC - Day 2

Brooklyn
A 150 year old engineering marvel.

Verizon building nearby:

Central Park

Near central park:

The only green area in Manhattan. There is not a single tree on any road. I mean you will walk a Km and not come across a tree. So this rectangular huge garden has been kept for the same. It has a zoo, a pond, a cycling track, gardens and a golf field.

Rockfeller/ Empire State

There were two option to view NYC from top. Empire State from 86th floor and Rockfeller from 70th floor. We chose Rockfeller because we wanted to see the tallest building from a height. I mean if we go onto the Empire State, we can't see Empire State.
