Capture taken during our last years visit to NYC. Leaving the hotel at Canal street, my plan was to see ground Zero at early hours. I liked the empty Church street with all these parcel cars and at the end the Oculus building with some fogs passing up from the subway station around there...gearing up for Chicago end of month..Thanks, Udo.
Wow! I found this in my photo stash. This photo was taken nine years ago in one my trips to the Big Apple. Shot using my first DSLR - a Sony Alpha-300.
The golden crowned building is the New York Life Building (1926).The New York Life Building was designed with Gothic Revival details. The tower is 40 stories tall, consisting of 34 office stories topped by a pyramidal, gilded six-story roof. At the time of the building's construction, many structures were being built in the Art Deco style, and so Gilbert's design incorporated Art Deco influences in its massing while retaining the older-style Gothic Revival detailing. The roof itself consists of 25,000 gold-leaf dipped terracotta tiles produced by Ludowici, with a fineness of 22 karats.The roof was originally gold leaf on a copper base, but due to copper corrosion, the roof was subsequently renovated in 1967 and 1995.At the top, a lantern rises another 57 feet (17 m) and serves as the ventilation outflow.
The black building behind is 41 Madison Avenue.
On the far right is the The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower (1909). The South Building's tower was designed by the architectural firm of Napoleon LeBrun & Sons and erected between 1905 and 1909. Inspired by St Mark's Campanile, the tower features four clock faces, four bells, and lighted beacons at its top, and was the tallest building in the world until 1913. The tower originally included Metropolitan Life's offices, and since 2015, it has contained a 273-room luxury hotel known as the New York Edition Hotel.

The Roosevelt Island Tramway is an aerial tramway in New York City that spans the East River and connects Roosevelt Island to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The tramway is the first commuter aerial tramway in North America, having opened in 1976. Since then, over 26 million passengers have ridden the tram.
The tram system was opened in July 1976 as a temporary solution for the island's commuting needs.[1] As the subway project fell further behind schedule, the "tram" became more popular and was converted into a permanent facility
The Roosevelt Island Tramway contains two cabins that each run back and forth, suspended from their own pair of cables. Each cabin has a capacity of up to 110 people and makes approximately 115 trips per day. The tram moves at about 17 mph (27 km/h) and travels 3,140 feet (960 m) in 3 minutes. At its peak it climbs to 230 feet (70 m)[25] above the East River as it follows its route on the north side of the Queensboro Bridge, providing views of the East Side of Midtown Manhattan. The tram runs every seven and half minutes from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. (3:30 a.m. on weekends) and runs continuously during rush hours
Rare is the virtuous response of man, whom enters the flames to save his fellow man. God bless and protect those who battle the flames, and all whom never returned from their duty.
From New Jersey, the view of Manhattan is breathtaking. The iconic skyline of skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty standing tall in the harbor create a stunning contrast against the Hudson River. The bustling cityscape is a sight to behold.
