This photo was captured 3 minutes after Sunset Over Throgs Neck Bridge, the sun dipped below the bridge and right above of the condo's rooftop, plus a bonus - a plane took off from the nearby LaGuardia Airport! ✈️
We arrived at Little Bay Park in the nick of time for the sunset.
We had driven 30 minutes to a beach park on Long Island which offered a partial Manhattan skyline view and Throgs Neck Bridge. Alas, no entry for us, the Outsiders, because that park (along with all the other beach parks in that area) were for "residents only"! 😡
We hopped back to the car and rushed over to this park (another 35 min drive), just in time to catch the last sun, how lucky was that?!?
We had a similar experience a few months ago when going to Galveston, TX for this Sunset Photoshoot. 😭
Thanks for stopping by, I wish you a pleasant day!!!

Standing under the massive sculpture hanging in Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport. By artist Sarah Sze, entitled "Shorter that the Day 2020 The fun thing was a woman security guard, seeing me with my camera, called down to me (I was on the lower level looking up.) She kept pointing to something, with our masks I couldn't make out what she was saying, but I kept moving and she kept shaking her head yes. When I got directly under the center, I got a nod of the head. She was right! It is a good shot.
Landing at Shannon in June 1997. This was one of a series of flights to commemorate Swissair's first transatlantic services. The first Swissair DC-4 flight to New York was routed via Shannon and Stephenville, Newfoundland, on May 2, 1947, although it actually ended in Washington, D.C., due to fog at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The total elapsed time was 20 hours and 55 minutes.
Having been established in 1931, Swissair ceased operations in April 2002 and further operations were conducted under the Swiss brand.

This huge sculpture "Shorter Than The Day" by artist Sarah Sze is composed of hundreds of phots taken of the New York City sky over the course of one day - from the pale colors of dawn, the bright blues and clouds of the day and the oranges and violets of sunset.
Let me tell you how it all happened. On the evening of April 13, 2020 I happened to look out of the window in to darkness of the night (for no good reason). I spotted a very bright light in the sky in North West direction in relation to my position in the apartment. I initially thought it was an airplane flying to land in nearby Laguardia Airport in Queens, New York. I kept looking at the bright light in the sky and realized that the light was not moving ! At that point, it occurred to me that I must take a photo ! ! I zoomed my camera lens to maximum and clicked and the picture I captured is what you see ! I think I captured a great image with point&shoot camera.
I wanted to know what this bright light is after ruling out that it is not an airplane.
I right away plunged in to google search. I was excited to get the result that we get to see Planet Venus in this month (April) in North West direction.
After calming down from excitement, I congratulated myself (just like our prez) for re-discovering a Planet ! I complimented my P&S camera for the good job it has done.
By the way, distance between my camera (on Planet Earth) and Planet Venus is 48.21 million miles !
Sorry for giving you all lengthy reading exercise.
New York Waste Management's newly aquired KLW SE23B numbered USWX 400, the accompanying slug USWX 010, and leased GMTX 2127 lead a cut of loaded trash cars from the Waste Management facility in Blissville down the Lower Montauk Branch back toward Fresh Pond yard. The train, New York & Atlantic Railway's RS-20, is passing through an old warehouse complex in Maspeth, NY, that relied on rail service many years ago as evidenced by the disconnected spur to the right. Part of Manhattan's skyline can be seen in the background as an American Airlines E170 prepares to land at LaGuardia Airport overhead.
This is the MTA station when you take the shuttle from the LaGuardia Airport into Manhattan. This brings me joy as I fly in and leaves me devastated when I have to leave.
LaGuardia Airport has a long and storied history. The airport site was first occupied by the Gala Amusement Park, a popular destination owned by the Steinway family. In 1929, the park was transformed into a 105-acre private flying field and first named Glenn H. Curtiss Airport after aviation pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss, and then re-named North Beach Airport.
In 1937, New York City took over the airport and enlarged the grounds with the purchase of adjoining land and by filling in 357 acres of waterfront along the east side. In 1939, it re-opened with a new name, New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field. Today, LaGuardia Airport is one of the busiest in the nation, handling more than 23 million passengers.
The aiport features two main runways. In a $40 million project completed in 1967, both runways were extended over water to their present length of 7,000 feet and width and 150 feet wide. It is an odd sight when taking off to see water on either side of the runway when your airplane has not yet lifted off from the ground.

Planes Across Sunset At New York LaGuardia Airport Birthday Week Before Pandemic - IMRAN™
(My 93rd photo in Flickr Explore!)
When I took this photo the week of my birthday, last year, I had no idea that something I was doing weekly, flying from one city to another in 2019, would become a distant memory and an almost once or twice a year thing for all of 2020. This was the scene at a New York airport last year, as planes got ready to depart LaGuardia at sunset. I often fly Southwest from Long Island, but out of other airports, I try to also give Delta my business. I had finished a long day of meetings at the Manhattan office and flew straight home to Tampa from New York City.

On January 15 2009 US Airways Flight 1549 crashed into the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey. All 155 people survived. There were no fatalities thanks to the quick response of the pilot, crew, and rescue workers. The water temp was aprox 40 degrees and the air temp was in the 20's. Many of the passengers exited the plane and climbed onto the wings until rescue boats came to lift them to safety. As passengers from the ill fated flight were being brought onto the numerous boats that responded, divers from the NYPD Scuba Unit deployed from a helicopter to assist with the rescue and search for potential victims still inside the plane. This plane left from Laguardia airport in Queens NY and was destined for North Carolina. It was truly a miracle that EVERYONE was able to walk away from such circumstances. (more pictures will follow)
