NYC and Christmas revisited

Because I’ve been in the mood for photo housekeeping, here’s the remainder of the photographs from our trip to Manhattan last Christmas. They’re mostly concerned with a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge which occurred on the very morning of Christmas day.

Bicycle lane!” will stay impressed on my memory.
