Sky Lines

It's been a rough patch for getting any photography in. Posting a few random pics from recent weeks.

Early Snow

Total chaos in NYC on Thursday. Snow didn't start till early afternoon and city did nothing to diminish possibility of traffic problems by closing government offices early or shutting down schools. Just a regular rush hour traffic fiasco on top of heavy snow and poor preparation by road crews. Trees still holding on to fall foliage toppled under the weight. Otherwise it was real pretty :-/

Snowy Barriers

Same snow day. Thursday.

Tarrytown Lighthouse

And foot bridge.

Under Construction

Assignment: Checkered pattern.

Walkway is along Pier 26. The city has put a lot of money and effort into revitalizing the waterfronts around the New York. Old abandoned piers are repurposed for recreational activities, parks, restaurants, performance spaces. Across the street anoter new high rise under construction.

Empire State Building

As seen from Hoboken, NJ. Clouds are lingering this week, along with rain-forest humidity and heat.
