PICTURE GALLERY - AMERICA
In the following pages you'll find some of the pictures I took during my American holidays.
This page is dedicated
to New York, a must-see place for all visitors coming in the States.
Some useful tips for your pictures:
Go on top
of the Empire State Building before sunset, so that you'll be able to
take pictures of the skyscrpers lights while the sky is still pink-colored;
Visit Central
Park on sunday: you will not only see a crowd of fitness lovers, but you
will also take a look at the many funny persons who show off their curious
personality or their particular clothes...

This place, less then ordinary during the day, becomes at night an irresistible sight for tourists, because of the plethora of advertisements that cover the sorrounding skyscrapers and cast their light on the street below (see last picture). | |||
