Making A Miniature Sailboat

MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art in New York Harbor Road

Rockefeller Center Complex has many entertainment and dining options, but also saved a space for art in one of the most visited museums in the city, the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), or whatever it is, the Museum of Modern Art.



In this way, you can find updated information on schedules, prices, exhibitions ...
http://www.moma.org/visit/infoplans/spanish_plan

If you have done with the New York Pass, less and save you the price input as this card includes a visit to the museum. Otherwise, and if you want to pay, you can enter the museum free on Fridays between 16:00 and 20:00.

As you enter the museum, we found a large square room with large foam seats in that people use to relax or watch the images projected on the walls.


When we went in November 2008, had a temporary exhibition of Joan Miró, so we photographed before this patriotic box called "Swallow Love."


We also find a picture of the Austrian Gustav Klimt, as is this "Hope, II"


Picasso has a large representation in the museum, despite the large number of prints that we are, the picture that I would highlight is " Demoiselles d'Avignon. "


Another well-known and recognized artist is Vincent Van Gogh, which is exposed pictures like "The Starry Night", "Los Olivos" or the "Portrait of Joseph Roulin."


One of the best-known works of Andy Warhol is also at the MoMa. It's "Gold Marilyn Monroe."


"Campbell's Soup Cans" is another work of the father of Pop Art Andy Warhol.


Apart from this small sample that I shared with you in the MoMA also exhibit works by Monet, Dali, Marc Chagall, Mondrian, Kandinsky and Matisse.

way out, we get the photo of rigor in the museum's entrance to make it clear that not all leisure, shopping and binge eating in the city of skyscrapers.

View Circular Road 7 peaks in a larger map

At Puerto de Navacerrada, climb to the summits of peaks 7 to return from windy hill road by Schmid.


In winter, the degree of difficulty of this route can be increased enough, bearing in mind that there are little parts marked on the peaks of 7 peaks in which along with the snow and ice can be difficult to find the path safer.


To reach the Puerto de Navacerrada, which is where the route begins and ends, the two best options are to go by car or train.
If we go by car from Madrid, the shortest route is to take the A6 and take exit 39 towards Navacerrada (M601). Then we will be guided by indications Puerto de Navacerrada. It takes approximately 50 minutes to travel the 60 miles that separate him from Madrid, but to avoid parking problems, it is a bit early in the morning.

If we do not want to drive by the parking problems, it is best in close up (line C9), with great views of the mountains on their way from Cercedilla.


route began in the parking lot of the Puerto de Navacerrada. From here, cross the road by the pedestrian crossing and walk towards the lifts of Telegraph Hill climbing the metal ladder.


We're off to the left of the track and began a demanding low-rise towers of metal from the lifts that will take us to the Telegraph Hill.


Once here, we can enjoy incredible views of the Puerto de Navacerrada, the Ball of the World and, following the dirt path next to the building of the chairlift, we can see part of the profile route.


About 10 minutes later, we will meet a rock formation on which stands a statue of the Virgen de las Nieves, who welcomes us to this path and from where can we go back to recreate the landscape around us.




continue our way to a smooth upward path that leads to the meadow of seven points.


From this point, we leave this wide path and take some of the upward paths that go into the pines toward the first of the seven peaks.


The path that goes in a zigzag in various sections are well marked with stone markers that we should not lose sight, although the purpose of this part of the route is to the top of this hill .


Once up, we can see the ridge formed by the seven points that will accompany us on this stretch of the route.


In this part of the course, you can follow the path that runs along each of the seven peaks, or try to "crown" each of them.


There are some very simple, others more complicated or even one a little dangerous to have areas in which in case of fall, the stroke can be quite strong, so I leave it to your choice if you want to climb each of the peaks or if you conform to happen next.


In some areas, we will be playing surrounding the piles of stone on the right side of the same, but even in these cases, the trails are well marked.


In one of the peaks, you no longer need it bordeéis, I've already done the "dirty work" hehe.


After a ride or more simple objects "climbs" in the rocks, we reach the last peak.


This is a good place to stop and eat something and recreate in the surrounding landscape before the last part of the route.


From here, we can see perfectly the prairie and
Majalasna peak

and rugged silhouette of the seven peaks that we have been walking a few minutes earlier.


After this short break, we go back a few yards down the path that has brought us to this last peak and we find another path that goes to our left and that skirts to take us to another small path descends down the slope quite steeply in the first meters. I do not cosideraría the trail itself, it seems more the place along which streams at time of thaw but as you will see is quite simple and intuitive to decline.


Some 15 to 20 minutes later, you will pass a forest trail marked with yellow dots on trees. We follow her to our right as we got out.


Sometime you will find with these indications for which show us the path to follow if we want to go to the port of Fuenfría, or Schmid way that will bring us back to Puerto de Navacerrada, so we follow the direction of the latter.


From here, it is impossible lost, because the road is clearly marked by yellow dots on trees and a path fully equipped and with little obstacles.

In this section we will walk through pine forests that protect us from the sun, and almost without realizing it we would get a firewall or ski slope from which we can see to the left of the image the north face of the seven peaks, and just in the center, the top of the heap of wheat.


Shortly after we arrived at the residence near Cogorros, next to the ski slopes of The Showcase, where we take the paved road to the right to finish this route in where you start it, the Puerto de Navacerrada.

How Long Does A Eales Box Of Cigars Last

New York from the Top of the Rock

One of the best places to see New York as the crow flies is the Top Of The Rock, a viewpoint to 259 meters on the ground 70, one of the buildings of Rockefeller Center complex.


simply turning the head, we have a 360 degree view of Manhattan, which highlights the Empire State Building and Central Park.


If
You do not want to wait very long queues at the Empire State to see the city from the heights, you can get close to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, located between the 5 th and 6 th Avenue at 50 Street:
http://www.topoftherocknyc.com/visitor / multiLang.aspx? langId = 1

If you do not find the ticket office, look for the signs indicating complex "Deck Observatory.

The normal price is $ 21, but there are discounts for young people and over 65 years and free if you do you find the New York Pass. You can see the latest prices at:
https: / / secure.topoftherocknyc.com / ODTInternet / Web / BuyTicket / captureticket.aspx

After buying tickets and spend the usual security checks, do not expect more than 10 minutes to take the elevator. The first thing you notice when entering the lift, the roof is transparent in projecting images with music, and through which, once the projection, we can see the impressive height of the elevator shaft.


After leaving the first level of observation, we find that Central Park is slowly turning its lamps.



From one side of the terrace observation, we can guess the Chrysler Building, which is covered by the MetLife Building.


I recommend up at sunset to enjoy the sunset over the skyscrapers of Midtown and Downtown.


The sunset over the skyscrapers that make Times Square is spectacular:


Although the photo does not have much quality, this frame displayed in the Empire State and Chrysler Building (plus a spontaneous on the left), I think one of the best views of Manhattan's Top of The Rock:


As night falls, the visual spectacle of skyscrapers lit goes "in crescendo"


not think there's a better place to see the colors that "dress" the Empire State at Christmas:


Before we left, after almost 1:30 am, took one last look at the Chrysler Building, which overlooks the lighted tip after the office of Metlife mole:


If you have the opportunity to climb the Top of The Rock, I assure you that you will not disappoint, because the images the city you are going to see from this ideal vantage point, I will forget the excessive price of admission.

way out, we can see the majestic skyscrapers illuminated white highlighting on the other buildings surrounding it.


To end the day, we take a tour around the Rockefeller Center, a very lively area in which we can take something in one of the stalls fast food.
