procession of sailboats and military vessels on the hudson river - midtown
This picture turned sepia in honor of the 400th anniversaire of Henry Hudson's arrival at New Amsterdam, what is now New York City.
OK, back to 2009! You may have to enlarge this one as it is very small (taken from my office window).
You can learn more about this week's events:
• with this NYT article, where you'll learn that the Dutch invested 24 dollars to purchase the island of Manhattan and more great pieces of information
• and the site dedicated to the week-long celebrations: http://www.ny400.org

c'est beau toute ces voiles , il faut vraiment regarder la grande taille :)
Having moved the office from the 22nd floor to the 6th proves more and more disappointing
its pretty big on the news here and i was wondering how people felt about all this dutch stuff :) I hear you can eat poffertjes at wall street now. Is that true? O and the empire state building is orange?
love the golden hue. What a panorama your office must have!
