I always wonder how many shoots you do, before you got the perfect picture.
Thank you for sharing!

First I must say great moody shot. What strikes me is how many changes this view of the city has gone through since I first rode the Staten Island Ferry in the early 1960’s. At one time I would get all cranky about how they were ruining the skyline with glass boxes and so on but now in my mellow, lower back pain years I enjoy the almost biological evolution.

Thanks for sharing your work. This one is my present computer wallpaper for one of my desktops.
Breathtaking, Joe. Absolutely breathtaking. And it’s nice to be able to start enjoying this view again post-9/11.

Great shot indeed. Still a great skyline. An uncommon view (from the brand new Brooklyn Bridge Park I suppose).
Singe : I personnally enjoy the glass boxes over the concrete ones. But I understand the sense of loss when the old brick buildings were going away. It’s amazing when you think about this : on Manhattan, there are more buildings gone than remaining. New York is known to be renewing itself fast and intensively. There’s not much room for history to be contemplated, although more and more now with some of the historical neighborhoods. It’s a city for the going-ahead, really.

Lovely, Joe! It’s as if I’m gazing out my window at the city I love, though I’m oh so far away.
