One the most characteristics on the streets of New York are the fire escapes ….which I really like and even prefer over the modern architecture. Funny story but when I first visited New York I just had to chill on the fire escape and enjoy the view…and so I did, bought some burgers and a coke sat down and just enjoyed the sounds of this beautiful city.

Details of New York: Lights at night

Obvious one of the most characteristic details of New York ….the lights at night. The name ‘City of Light’ may be refer to Paris, but in my opinion it’s way more suitable for New York. I mean not only it’s skyline at night, also the streets and even alleys can be light so nicely. That’s why shooting the streets at night with its ambient light can results into amazing photographs.

New York streets: Helmets on bicycle

One thing that I noticed ..something I don’t see in Amsterdam is the use of helmets on bicycles in New York. By that I don’t mean fashionable ones but the real deal. I do have to say that it’s New York we’re talking about so it’s kinda logical because of the traffic ….I’ve seen it, cycling on those streets could be quite the challenge!
