Pictures of my trip to the US (it's not as dull as it sounds)
I just returned from a trip to the US where I visited New York, Washington and Atlanta. Fortunately I brought my digicam with me and I'd like to show a selection of the pictures I made. (I shot about 300-400 pictures, filling 3 flashcards, including one of DanS. Praise da man!  )
PS: I'm going to attach the pictures in posts, as I'm too tired to put them online somewhere so that I could show them in a single post.
Starting with the Rose Center, part of one or another museum in NYC.

I walked by that big sandstone colored building last time I was in Manhatten. It's really weird there aren't any windows or doors inside. It must be the World Zionist Evil Empire building or something.

Actually that building that isn't an office tower, it belongs to AT&T and it's filled exclusively with telco equipment. But you're right, it looks bizarre.

Nice pics Colon!  I especially like the one of the AT&T building with the flag in it.

Hey, great pics! I'll mail a CD to you and post some pics here from the flash card that you used. Some Washington, but mostly Atlanta.
