Silver Reflection

Windows at Silver Towers reflected in a window across the street - at the border of Noho / Soho on W. Houston Street, NYC.

No Entry

Taken thru the plastic window of a NYC bus. Subway exit and entrance at the Delancey Street / Essex Street station outside the south building of the Essex Street Market

George Washington Bridge

The George Washington Bridge seen from Hudson Heights, one of the highest land elevations in Manhattan. The bridge opened in 1931 and connects Manhattan with New Jersey, spanning the mighty Hudson River. The high land elevations on both sides of the GW Bridge offers some unique perspectives compared to other suspension bridges. While the towers rise above street level the suspended portion of the bridge is at or slightly above street level. This shot was taken from street level just north of the bridge.

Phipps - Kips Bay

The apartments formerly called Phipps Plaza West - originally built as "affordable" housing on 2nd Avenue in the Bellevue/Kips Bay area of Manhattan. The buildings pulled out of the affordable housing program a few years ago and are renamed Kips Bay Court.

NYPost Jet Skiing

Jet Skiing on the East River past the Two Bridges section of Manhattan's Lower East Side. The long, light-colored low-rise building is the former home of the New York Post daily newspaper. It is now (I believe) a self-storage facility. The apartment buildings immediately behind that are Knickerbocker Village. Confucius Plaza is the tall apartment tower in the left background. And, of course, the skyscraper at the distant right background is the Empire State Building. From June 2012 taken from an East River ferry.

Manhattan Skyline East

Midtown Manhattan skyline seen from across the East River. The tall slender skyscrapers at either side are the Empire State Building (left) and the Chrysler Building (right). The shorter building at the extreme right is the new MetLife Building (formerly the Pan Am Building).

Looking across the East River to the Vinegar Hill / Metrotech section of Brooklyn,  between apartment buildings in the Corlears Hook/Lower East Side area of Manhattan

Ssssssssteam Essssscaping

Steam escaping from a manhole cover at 1st Avenue & E 18th Street on the perimeter of Stuyvesant Town. FDNY and Con Edison crews are on the scene. There were a couple of similar events in the Gramercy Park/Stuyvesant Town area over the weekend.

1WTC Progress

The siding is almost all the way up the side of the new One World Trade Center building and the spire is partially constructed up on top. To the left of 1WTC in the distance is the top of the Municipal Building and the Woolworth Building. Seen from Henry Street, Lower East Side, Manhattan.

Manhattan Bridge Peek

A peek at the Brooklyn end of the Manhattan Bridge between some Lower East Side apartment towers on a dreary, overcast day.

Stuy Stacks

Smokestacks at the Con Ed steam plant on Avenue C & E. 14th Street, behind Stuyvesant Town. This is the plant where a huge explosion during the height of Hurricane Sandy shook the residents in neighboring Stuy Town apartment buildings.
