NY Skyline Moonlit Blues

A view of the ful Worm Moon rising in a hazy, cloudy sky over New York City as the twilight hour begins The clouds and haze obsured the moon as it came over the skyscraper horizon, but then it briefly fought its way through the mist long enough to beam some light over the city, creating this pastel pallette of blue and mauve hues. Like many lovely, unusual moments in nature, it lasted for only a short few minutes, if that, before disappearing behind the low layers of blue hour clouds.

NYC Building Night Lights

When night falls on New York City, the builfding nightlights stretch across the island of Manhattan to create a skyline scene that has captured photographers' and painters' imaginations for years. As new buildings go up with new, more modern architecture with less than notable spires or rooftops, skyline adapts and eventrually the new blends with the old. That said, there are a few buildings of old that stand out and seem to defy the big and bold new structures. The Empire State Building, that will always be the symbol of the city; the Chrysler Building, Tthe Woolworth Bui8lding to name a few but this treasure is one of my favorites - the top of the Met Life Building. Seen here in a skyline vertical scene among other city structures as viewed from New Jersey.

A horizontal format night view of lower Manhattan on the Sept 11 Anniversary 2018. Cloud cover and fog had prevented the blue Tribute in Lights from being visible for most of the evening but the skies ckeared for a short time to allow the buildings and lights to be seen.
