I do love New York, but more than anything I miss being around other people. Looks like it will be awhile before we are back outside among our friends, until then stay inside!

Stopping Traffic
Taxis run the show when it comes to traffic in NYC. Sometimes they even stop front and center in the middle of the action.
A Ray of Light for New York City
The World Trade Center Transportation Hub was just getting the final touches when I visited in 2016. Through the last of the construction I caught a purple ray of light in my lens that I thought fit this place just perfectly.
Locks and Stuff
Apparently it is a thing to put a lock on a public structure to profess your love. NYC is officially not in favor of the practice of people putting stuff on their structures, but I believe it makes for an interesting photo.
By Bridge, Tram or Subway…
…You can get from here to Manhattan in a hurry. This was taken from the exclusive rooftop of a friend’s apartment on Roosevelt Island looking towards Manhattan. The bright lights may look peaceful from here, but the buzz of the city is just across the river.
From the High Line
The High Line in New York City is a great way to take a break from the city. While walking above it all you get to appreciate the pace of everyone moving below.
Manhattan Sunset
My original plan was to go to the top of Rockefeller Center to catch the sunset. Then it started raining, and then it started pouring. I was sure sunset was not going to happen. When the storm cleared right before sunset we were with our gracious hosts on Roosevelt Island and rushed to the roof. The sunset was super bright, and the leftover storm clouds were dramatic. Since it was just a few days past Manhattanhenge, where the direction of the sunset lines up with the corridors of the city, I was able to get the sun between two buildings right before it disappeared. Sometimes missed plans work out after all.
NYC in the Sun
The sun was harsh but the city was beautiful. Black and white was the only way to properly capture the very edge of the city.
NYC in the Spring
New York is fantastic in the spring. I was lucky enough to be there when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom on Roosevelt Island, offering a colorful border to the Manhattan skyline.
