This was our first time going out of the port of New York with our cruise line. As we started to head out to sea, I was admiring the architect around us, and yes, the camera was in hand.

One of the nice things with large cities is the time taken with the architect—seeing all the different lines and how they react to the other structures around them.

As our ship kept moving, I kept looking at what I felt were opportunities for a photo. Yes, even the landmarks that we all know.

Such a great city to see. I could not help thinking that possibly my ancestors came across this waterway at one time.
