A close up view of Horse Shoe Fall

Niagara Falls : The horse shoe fall

Here comes the famous Horse Shoe fall - with its famous mist. See how the mist is going up in the air. And yes, this mist started around 170 feet below the land you see. The buildings you see behind are in Canada.

Niagara Falls : Few views of American Falls

You can see small Horse shoe of American falls. As the falls are flowing, they are eroding the soil below, taking falls deeper in the island. You can also see "humans" roaming around the fall to appreciate size of the falls.

Chrysler Building

Building which I like. Its top is very decorative and not like other "Box" shaped buildings.

Visit to NY 3 - Inside GCT

The Dome above the Main Hall in GCT is with pictures for all "Raashis" drawn. In picture you can see "Mithun" and "Karka".

Visit to NY 3 - NY - Inside GCT

GCT (Grand Central Terminal) - Good piece of architecure - though as usual in america - is not well lit. Had many problems while trying to take photos inside the GCT :).

Visit to NY 3 - NY Grand Central Terminus

This is Grand Central Terminal Entrance. One of the biggest train stations in world. I have boarded a train from Platform No. 106 here :) Dunno total how many are there... Frankly I was more mesmerized by seeing CST, Mumbai than the GCT :D

Visit to NY 3 - NY at night

This is NY at night. At center is Empire State Building. I took photo from "Top of the Rock" observatory from Rockefeller Center. Khoop try kela tari pahije tasa photo yet navhta - so got in Tv mode (Shutter Priority) and with shutter speed of 4 seconds - was able to get this after atleast 5 attempts. :) Long shutter speed definitely asked for Steady hand - so just put the camera on the wall - and clicked.
