New York City Skyline at Night with Mom

New York City Skyline at Night with Mom

New York City Skyline at Night with Mom

I was in awe of The New York City Skyline this trip. The unique weather conditions had blown out all the stuff normally floating in the Air around “The City”. This visit we enjoyed a totally unobstructed view of the city for the first time ever, Both Day and Night…

The sunset this night was incredible… (Photo’s to follow in a Day or Two)

This was the Last Photo of the Night. I was in the mood for an artsy shot. So I asked mom to Pose with her camera and that unbelievable skyline. In the Lower right is my shadow with the camera pointing towards the Empire State Building. Those long white streaks in the shot are passing Helicopters. If you look close at the railings you can see the graffiti…

This was my favorite Photo of the Trip…

New York City Skyline at Night… What can I say…

After Two weeks in the Hospital, Mom was in desperate need of some fresh Air. I thought a quiet dinner at the Charthouse in Weehawken, NJ then a few photo’s from the pier would be fun. It offers unobstructed views of the NYC skyline and especially The Empire State Building. Dinner with a View. what Fun… Click Here for Map.

I have never had the opportunity to work the NYC skyline at Night. After Dinner I took two Photographs, Both the same Photo, second one as a backup, just in case. Then we headed home. After all it was Mom’s first day out…

Sunset by the Dunes – Florida’s Forgotten Coast

Florida’s Dunes, Very beautiful, Picturesque, Mystical, and are just plain fun to be around. They are a Perfect and completely natural way for protecting Florida’s coasts from erosion and the tropical storm season. We need to restore and protect all of them.

While meandering along Florida’s Forgotten Coast we came across these awesome dunes at The Mexico City Beach, FL.

This weekend, a storm front had just passed before Sunset. In this panoramic photo you can see the front, to the left of the Sun. The clouds were of the billowy, stringy, Brightly colored variety. The Sea oats were waffling back and forth in the Breeze. Perfect for a relaxing sunset with mother nature. This particular night also had an eclipse of the Moon.

So we sat back in awe of the Dunes and Sunset, Then we turned around and watched the eclipse of the Moon from in front of the dunes…
