My sister took this photo on my last vacation in New York City, USA. This photo shows the Big Apple from the roof of Empire State Building, and me with my iPhone capturing the same landscape. This spectacular picture was taken in February 2013, after having been in Las Vegas and Ohio on the same vacation with my family. In that vacation, I was in the United States of America for one month

New York, has many possible scenarios to photograph, and I believe the Empire State is one of the most beautiful building in the all world. 

This picture is one of my favorites and one of the most beautiful picture in my life, due to the experience and the feeling at that moment. It was great!!! I hope you like it and enjoy the picture, because I love it!

If you have the chance to go, don't hesitate!!

Thanks for the comments, see you in your blogs!

Sample

Well, my favorite holiday is December 25th. It's Christmas, of course, although here in Chile it's usually very hot and sunny because summer is just starting. No snow, no snowmen, but thousands of very warm-clothed Santa Clauses populate the streets of Santiago. It's crazy. I like it a lot because I have a big family and it's the only time we all get together. I get to see my cousins and their children. We usually have a good time around a barbecue. Some of the kids are swimming in the pool, while others run around playing soccer or other games. The adults talk a lot, catching up and drinking my great-aunt's famous pisco sour. In the evening, it's time for opening presents. They put them all in the middle of the garden and call out the names. I don't get a lot of presents nowadays, but that's OK. It's mainly for the children.
The best Christmas was when I was a kid. We sang a lot of Christmas carols and had a great time! I remember listening to Santa Claus' bells. I like Christmas better than the 18th of September, for instance, because it's more relaxed and I spend more time with family.

Level 3 Post 3: Write about your favourite piece of technology


Say:

What it is.
When you got it.
How you use it.
How often you use it.
Why you like it.
What life would be like without it.

Sample: 


My favorite piece of technology is my old record player. I know it sounds out of date, but there's nothing like listening to my vynil records, which I have bought in several flea markets around Santiago, in true stereo mode. CDs and mp3 really don't cut it. The quality of the sound is far beneath analog. That's why I enjoy listening to music in my house rather than wearing earphones in the street. I'm planning on buying some big speakers soon, but they're a little expensive, so I'm still saving money to get them. Without my record player my life would be so much duller. I would have to listen to music on an Mp3 player which really is terrible for me. I wouldn't be able to listen to any vynil records at all! Luckily, that's not the case.
My newest record is an original The Who LP I bought online for just ten dollars. I can't wait to put it on!!
