Evening view from Brooklyn across the East River to the Brooklyn Bridge. The illuminated skyline of Lower Manhattan can be seen in the background.
Since September 2011, this view looks a little different and shows the restored historic wooden carousel "Jane's Carousel" in a protective glass pavilion at the foot of the bridge.
A little later, One World Trade Center was completed, adding to the Manhattan skyline in an impressive way.
So it is worthwhile for me to take another photo tour in NY...
Lower Manhattan from the Goldman building on the Jersey City side of the river. Finally a bright and sunny day.

Manhattan is the most densely populated and geographically smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. The borough is also coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. Located near the southern tip of the State of New York, Manhattan is based in the Eastern Time Zone and constitutes both the geographical and demographic center of the Northeast megalopolis and the urban core of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. Over 58 million people live within 250 miles of Manhattan, which serves as New York City's economic and administrative center, cultural identifier, and the city's historical birthplace. Residents of the outer boroughs of New York City often refer to Manhattan as "the City". Manhattan has been described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world, and hosts the United Nations headquarters. Manhattan also serves as the headquarters of the global art market, with numerous art galleries and auction houses collectively hosting half of the world's art auctions.
Manhattan Beach is a city in southwestern Los Angeles County, California. Beach itself is sandy, spacious and offers great views… There are boardwalk, restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Parking was difficult, after several rounds, found a parking spot near the Pier. Stayed under the Pier over two hours during sunset, enjoyed the pure air and the strong water waves hitting the pillars.

"Manhattan Twilight" is an HDR image constructed from 3 separate shots, with a differential of 2 stops between images.
The resulting HDR image was processed using a combination of ACR, Photomatix, and Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, Glow and LensFX).
Giant reflections glimmer in the Hudson river providing an extra dimension to the colossal nature of the architecture of Lower Manhattan. The site of the original colony of New Amsterdam, that eventually became New York City, Lower Manhattan is now most frequently associated with wall street and the financial district.
