Early morning in NYC
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 4 November 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
Earlier this week I didnt have meetings as early as usual so stopped at Exchange place for a little while to take some shots of the NYC Skyline
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Colorful architectural vista. I like the contrast of complexity of the buildings to the serenity and simplicity of the water.

So impressive. The London skyline is just starting to sprout interesting new architectural shapes, but not a patch on this.

I love this shot. It made me think of some night shots I did in Hong Kong looking across the harbor. I like the early morning light you've captured here. Good work.

I don't I ever got up in time to see the city at dawn, very strange to see the lights of the buildings on and it being daylight out.

There you are again, up early, taking fantastic photos. It amazes me, everytime i see a photo like this that the sea doesn't just wash into the city in great gulps.
