Rising into the fog
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 1 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
This is a shot of the Rockerfeller centre in the fog one morning in NYC
I though an appropriate shot to start the year, hoping we can climb out of the fog of the troubled economy and all the strife and war in the world at peace, lets hope for a better year and things to improve globally
Hope the new year is starting well for everyone
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

Happy new year JJ. This is great shot, raising into the sky, like the proportion and balance at the base.

This is such a great concept and capture! I love all the lights visible through the fog. lights will guide us home!
It might be merely a fantasy - specially in our times- but I wish PEACE, EQUALITY, JUSTICE, HOPE and LOVE for ALL.
Happy New Year JJ :)

Happy New Year, JJ!
A wonderful composition and moody shot! I love how the colour is so vibrant at the bottom of the frame and then fades into the fog as it nears the top.

I always find it amazing when buildings disappear up into the fog or indeed clouds sometimes. I hear your sentiments behind it too and echo them.

Hope you have a safe year JJ.
But I have a feeling that you more than most will see how futile the peace and love wishes are.
Unfortunately there seems to be a few of the worlds tribes that just refuse to play nicely !!
