An iconic shot of the New York City skyline taken front the top of the Rockefeller Centre.

 

The view from the Top Of The Rock is so amazing and it's one of my favourite places to visit in New York.

 

This is one of my favourite shots with the city skyline, cloudy skies and the sunrays shining through, hope you like it?

 

In order to get on the Brooklyn Bridge, you need to speak with the gate keeper...

If you want to get a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge & Lower Manhattan try the Brooklyn Bridge Park. The park spans 85 acres of the East River waterfront in the Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo neighbourhoods of Brooklyn and is a great place to visit.

through the lens, the lines blur between sky and architecture. here, at hudson yards, new york's vessel stands as a shimmering labyrinth of reflections and stories. the mirrored panels fragment reality, pulling the clouds down into the city’s heart while skyscrapers loom like guardians of an urban dreamscape. this frame holds a paradox: something massive, yet weightless; a place where the infinite sky touches the human-made grid. it’s not just a view, it’s an invitation to reflect—literally and figuratively.

The iconic Brooklyn Bridge, my favourite place in New York, hope you like it in black & white?

 

Brooklyn Bridge was the first fixed crossing of the East River opened in 1883. It was also the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its opening, with a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m) and a deck 127 ft (38.7 m) above mean high water. The span was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge or the East River Bridge but was officially renamed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1915.

The Brooklyn Bridge is the southernmost of four toll-free vehicular bridges connecting Manhattan Island and Long Island, with the Manhattan, Williamsburg, and Queensboro bridges to the north. Only passenger vehicles and pedestrian and bicycle traffic are permitted. A major tourist attraction since its opening, the Brooklyn Bridge has become an icon of New York City.

No better place to be at Christmas than New York visiting the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Centre 🎄

 

Happy holidays!!

 

A moody, long-exposure view of Midtown Manhattan from across the East River. The Empire State Building, the UN Headquarters, the Chrysler Building, and One Vanderbilt all glow against the cloudy sky, each asserting its identity in the iconic New York City skyline. The lights shimmer on the water, blending modern power with timeless presence.

The 200-foot water tower sits at the foot of the High Bridge on the Manhattan side and rises above all of Highbridge Park. It has been around since 1872 and was used in sync with the Old Croton Aqueduct and the Highbridge reservoir (now Highbridge Pool) to help supply water to northern Manhattan neighborhoods. The tower is no longer in use and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1967. Today, the water tower serves as a marker for reaching the High Bridge.

Shot in bold monochrome from the Brooklyn Bridge, this image captures the jagged Manhattan skyline behind a grid of suspension cables. The sun blazes through the haze, flattening the skyline into silhouette and casting the whole scene in stark contrasts. The convergence of structure and skyline creates a layered tension—geometry meets chaos, light meets shadow.

Managed to catch the Tribute in Lights being tested on 9/7/16. 15 years has gone by but it still feels just like yesterday, Never Forget.

A dramatic New York City sunset casting golden light behind the iconic Empire State Building and the leaning towers of the American Copper Buildings. Shot from the East River, the skyline forms a bold silhouette against the glowing sky, capturing the moment when architecture and atmosphere align.

Who loves walking across the Brooklyn Bridge?

 

I just love this view of Lower Manhattan enjoying the hustle and bustle and dicing with death with the cyclists.
