Explanations of the last four pictures

I said the picture from the post on 1 July is in NYC because this texture can be seen in at least two other places in the world. This is a section of the Sibelius statue that sits outside the UN complex in NYC. It is a piece that matches the pipes of the original organ sculpture in Helsinki. Another similar sculpture is in Canada.

The next texture is from a building that stands all the way at the end of the island of Manhattan. It is the gateway to one of NYC's greatest history and architectural treasures, Governor's Island. This building is the Battery Maritime Building where the fairy takes people to and from the island. The building has recently been refurbished or at least repainted because the exterior is so fresh with brilliant colors. Much of the building's beauty really is on the back so be sure to take the free ferry over to Governor's Island so you can at least see the back of the building if not to see some great buildings and learn some amazing history.

The next texture is kind of obvious as a mosaic in the subway but I found this station particular unique and interesting. This is the N-train station at 23rd Street and the hat is Scott Joplin's, he was a composer. All along the wall are hats that were worn by famous people. The hats are placed in a way that it may be fun to take pictures looking like you are wearing them as they are at many different heights.

The last texture is kind of obvious too. It is the thickness of two pennies and was molded over hand-made wooden frames. It is the Statue of Liberty from the inside. I had the great opportunity to visit the crown of the statue on 4 July, the first day it was open to the public since 11 Sept. 2001.I loved it and encourage everyone to do it if they can. You have to book the tour at least 6 months in advance so plan now.
