My buddy Carlos brought his bike. Here he is riding in the shadows underneath a public art display. This tunnel is built out of milk crates and there are plants growing out of each one of them. A little something different for Shadow Shot Sunday.
My friend and I wanted to get in on the bike riding so we rented a couple of these cruisers for an hour (free on Fridays!)
We had a beautiful picnic and took in the amazing views of New York Harbor. (and of course played around with some iPhoneography)
I loved these benches with the tires on them--looking out towards Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty...
And this old rusty tower...
We also played miniature golf and of course, had the beautiful ferry ride there and back. Woohoo, a great stay-cation day!
I am also playing "Sundays In My City" again this week. A fun way to get a glimpse of what's going on around the world. Check it out at Unknown Mami.

Super photos - I think even I would have a go on one of those bikes!
What fun! Love the milk crate tunnel and the wheel benches.
These are so beautiful...or incredible...or great...no seriously, I love these shots.
You did those effects with your phone!!!!
Amazing photos - I love your activities this week - it is inspiring me to play tourist when I'm at home.
Great shots! The fifth one is my favourite :) Is it Ellis Island to the right?

It sounds like you had a wonderful day :-)
Those wheeled benches are great, I love a bit of quirk in everyday objects.
Beautiful shots! Sounds like a great find - we'll have to check it out next time we're in NYC!
You are really taking advantage of your surroundings. I love riding cruisers; they're so much fun. And that art display is pretty cool.
what's up GIBNITTY? love the photos... especially the harbor... the weather still hot there for you? it's still cold here for me in LA? what's new at your farmer's market? corn and corn and more corn here.
What a great little spot filled with so much character! I love the milk crate tunnel, those cool benches and FREE Friday bike hire! Geez I want to visit! Still lovin' your iphoneography too! Enjoy your week ahead :)
Looks like you had a great time.
Beautiful shots...
Happy SSS & SIMC greetings from Casa! :)
My goodness, you got some nice captures. I'm in love with that shady spot/public art. I could sit there for hours...
Nice variety of pics! That first "grass bridge" is very cool. I've never seen anything like that before.
Happy SIMC,

The milk crate arch is just fantastic. That bike is cool too. And free? Fantastic. Your staycation sounds so fun.
I usually participate in Sunday's in my city. I don't know how I never met you before.
