The prompt for today is “skyscape” but because yesterday I chose to post photographs of skies today I am changing my focus from rural to urban and from skyscape to skyscrapers (just add in two r r’s and an “s” and there you have it). The geometry, the light on the buildings and the contrast between landscape and hardscape attract my eye. Most of the photos, but not all, are of my hometown, NYC, the queen of skyscrapers.
Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn. I love to photograph this view because of the shapes, the ever changing light, and the reflections.The Chrysler Building (One of my favorite NYC skyscrapers) glimpsed between two buildings in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza.Hudson Yards, west side New York. So modern.Manhattan from Brooklyn Bridge Park. A classic skyline.New York City night skylineSee, didn’t I tell you, New York has the best skylines! (What a braggart!)Seen through Central Park trees.Caught a glimpse of this rainbow as I walked down the street after a city downpour. What a gift!
Let’s get away from New York for a bit even if our gull says it has the best skylines.
Redpath Museum MontrealPhilly at a street festival.Another in Philly near the museum.Minneapolis…love the colors and the reflection.Prague – old and new. Though not exactly skyscrapers I thought I’d sneak this one in.
And back to a few parting shots of ol’ NYC.
Through the rigging of the tall shipsTaken from the walkway by the East River looking under the Brooklyn Bridge.A quiet moment boating in Central Park.Disappearing in the mist like Brigadoon.
