For this month’s 10 on 10 I want to share a collection of images from our recent trip to New York City with you. I’ve shared many images from the trip on my blog and in on social media sites, but most of these will be new to you, I hope.
My youngest son turned 6 in January. He loves all things numbers, and over the last year or so that has translated into a love of big buildings: how tall they are, how many floors they have, when they were built… it’s an all-round fascination with numerical facts. He has a real love of learning and thirst for knowledge, these facts light him up! Back in October at his first parent-teacher conference his Kindergarten teacher asked if it was true that we would be taking him to the Empire State Building for his birthday. I had mentioned it to him once, a vague possibility when the thought popped into my head, but he’d clearly taken to heart and after telling all his friends there we simply had to go! (He has since told his class that we’re moving to Dubai… because of the Burj Khalifa, obviously… which FYI is NOT happening).
So off we went to (a desperately cold) NYC!
Inside the Empire State Building
The Birthday Boy posing atop the Empire State Building, a dream come true! (This is his new posing for a photo face, a rare and beautiful thing)
Empire View
Top of the Rock (big building number two)
View from the Rockefeller Center
One World Trade Center (big building number three)
Manhattan : Liberty Island
Statue of Liberty (big building number four)
Walking, So Much Walking
Restricting my share to 10 was SO hard this month but I think heart strings and artistic stings have found an adequate balance this time!
Up next in the 10 on 10 Blog Circle is the immensely talented Jessie Wixon of Jessie Wixon Photography. CLICK HERE to see her 10 images for this month.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ceri these are stunning. I love seeing images of New York and one day I am going to go there. I want to see the city. Of course, Richard does not want to go, so I may have to go alone. I love the rich colors in the first image and the gorgeous sunflare in the one overlooking the city. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Sharleen! It really is quite a spectacular city, I think you would enjoy taking it all in with your camera.
These are fantastic! I love the color in the first one, the reflection and the walking one. So artistic and lovely!
Thank you so much, Janeen
These are all fantastic!!! Love the lighting and tones, in addition to all the moments you captured. Such a great set!
Thank you so much, Lexie. I really appreciate your kind words <3
