That's a great collection!

New York City is not an old city. Certainly not by European standards. But even by American standards, New York has always been a place where it was deemed okay to tear down the old and replace it with something new. So it is true that we just don't...

Everyone is familiar with Washington DC's fabulous monuments and museums. GeorgeG takes us on a walk through the side streets and quiet beautiful neighborhoods of Georgetown.

The exhibit was called:           "Stars of the Big and Small Screen.               See the Cars that were the Stars"....   and it was an interesting collection of American Steel....

DrFumblefinger cruises down the stretch of the Beagle Channel known as Glacier Alley, wherein several large and impressive glaciers extend to the sea.

We were just in New York a few weeks ago and really enjoyed walking around lower Manhattan area. Spent a lot of time in Battery Park. Looks forward to going back and exploring this area more soon. Thanks for the happy memories
