Little island

Need a little cash?
Back in New York, a city with a different kind of vibe and unique urban ambiance. Look at this charming 24 hour ATM machine… nothing wrong with it, fully functioning and well positioned 😉 I wonder who is using those and if it’s just me being superstitious as to me, this looks like a data…

I attended my friend’s wedding celebration yesterday and it was truly wonderful. Everything took place outdoors surrounded by beautiful native plants and trees, the weather was ideal (not too hot, a slight breeze), and the birds sung beautifully accompanied by the soothing background sound of burbling water from the residential pond…
