I live near the waterfront, along the East River, just before Brooklyn hooks and bends. I run this route very often, over and over again, to the Brooklyn Bridge and back. It is hard to tire of the Manhattan skyline. There is nothing like it. When I come home from time away, when I sit in traffic on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway or dip down into Laguardia or Kennedy airport, this is what I see. It never fails to take my breath away.
This morning, when I ran, I decided to bring my camera and stop for a photograph. Because it is official. On Tuesday the Freedom Tower became the tallest building in Manhattan. It has crept past the Empire State Building and it will grow taller still.
This, I think, is progress. Slow. Steady. Unseen. And then, one day, a day like any other, chin-yanking, heart-stopping tall.
What a great picture! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteYeah, sweet picture. I find the Manhattan skyline to be breathtaking, especially when atop the Empire State building. Every time I spend a couple of weeks in NYC the time flies by, but I always have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! That's a beautiful picture (and a perfect place to run!).
ReplyDeletethat's an awesome pic. I wish I had views like this when I exercise. It's usually just my Just Dance screen :)
ReplyDeleteYou went jogging with your camera? You are my hero. But awesome picture. I do love that skyline. I love your inventiveness to help us find it. :D
ReplyDeleteI know you say you aren't a photographer, but you should be! Seriously. I love how the tree branches frame the shot. BYW how is the wedding planning going?
ReplyDeleteAmazing, my sister lived in New York and will not stop talking about going back :)
