Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum

Last time I went to see Intrepid was over twenty years ago. I don't have much memory of it then except that it was the largest ship I've ever seen. It's been renovated since then. I finally had a chance to bring my family to see it again. It didn't disappoint at all. My children loved the place too. This is a great museum for the whole family.

It's shooting objects this size that I wish I have a wide angle lens.

There were about twenty old air crafts on the flight deck. There were a few more on the hangar deck too. I only had my 35mm 1.8 lens. I wished I had bought 17-50mm lens instead.







The interior of the "Island", aka control tower, was quite cramped. I wonder how the personnel move about without having to squeeze thru each other.



There were a few models of the carrier on the hangar deck. The lego one is my favorite.


That's a lot of lego pieces.

Another angle


The details are unbelievable.

Toy or Just Weird Looking Vintage Camera?

I found this one in Chris The King HS in Middle Village. It looks like a good camera to take photo for Instagram. It's square after all :-) I don't know if this is a real camera or just a toy.
