Jamaica Bay

The Birds

Ok, this post is way overdue but maybe a little bird has already informed you that as of end May, I have finally found a job - well no, actually, an internship in the fashion industry. But you'll probably read more on that subject later.

Speaking of little birds, a few weeks ago, we decided to escape the city for a while and took the subway to JFK airport to visit Jamaica Bay... This may sound very glamorous but let me disappoint you right away: Jamaica Bay is a wildlife refuge center/national park located near JFK airport. But still, a nice change from busy, noisy New York City. The park is a favorite of many bird lovers, so I had to see it myself. It's quite amazing to find the following scenery just one hour from the city center.





If you look closely, you can even see Manhattan at the horizon in this picture:



Well worth the one hour trip on the subway (even with the risk of another airco-cold)!
