McGlothlin_NYC-7McGlothlin_NYC-5It’s a good day when I can try something new. And when I can leap headfirst in a whole new world, it’s an even better day.

This Montana girl spent yesterday exploring New York City and just generally playing tourist. Lot of firsts—first train ride, first time on the subway, first time on a good-sized sailboat, first time on a metro bus, and, yeah, first time in New York. I spent most of the day wandering around by myself. Traveling with friends is fantastic, but sometime’s it’s pretty damn freeing to travel solo. Conversations start, I can stop and capture photographs whenever I want, and the destination is open to interpretation. That said, still pretty damn fun to meet up with friends for drinks at night!

https://space1026.com/2024/01/oa0qow0tehx Love visiting new places and just watching people. Realities are different everywhere you travel, and it’s hard to  beat the simple act of just sitting on a street corner and watching folks go about their days.

Dammit. Some of the best images of the city I’ve seen in years and years.

Check out the High Line in Chelsea if you get the chance. Very cool area. Also Chelsea Market is rife with color.

Glad you had a good time. Love the pictures!! I remember the first time I went to New York City. I felt like I had been there before. Just because so many movies and TV shows have been filmed there! Keep up the good work! I hope you get in some more fishing time!!

Thanks, Ray! Very fun place to explore; I am already excited to go back.

About to get ten days in Alaska, so will get some good fishing there. Hope you’re getting time on the water yourself.
