You have to love New York. Clear day is't it. The boarder is not so great. 7

A great shot of the tightness of the Big Apple, it really feels crowded and massive in this.

Looking N from the Empire State Building in the early morning. The light does a great job on some of the buildings. Too bad the Silver on the top of the Chrysler building looks brown / grey - that is a beautiful building. This is a very nice shot.

Another great shot of NYC. Having worked here for a few years down at street level, it's great to get above the complexity below.

A nice "fly over" view of the city. Everything is nice and sharp, no major complaints... nothing too spectacular though.

I've taken the same photo but yours is so much better. Granted the only day I've ever been in the Empire State Building was on an low overcast day.

  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like a view from the Empire State Building. Nice time of day with the evening shadows. I wish it would get clearer there to get rid of the distant haze.
