If you want the best view of Manhattan,
just come to Brooklyn!  Especially now that
you can enjoy that view from Brooklyn Bridge Park,
a waterside green space along the East River.
It's still a work in progress, but what's been completed
is wonderful (and the Brooklyn Philharmonic
is playing there this Saturday).

I don't care what shape the market is in,
this is always high-end real estate—
the 23 blocks along Fifth Avenue from
82nd Street south to 59th (seen here
from the roof of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art).

Some people think that these water towers
are no longer in use—not so! Found some info,
and—go figure—the one they picture is the same
one I shot! BTW, the silver-and-blue building
on the left is used as NYU housing (daughter
Lila lived there for part of her sophomore year).
Imagine a dorm room (more like a studio
apartment) that's this close to the
Brooklyn Bridge!

Skywatch Friday

I'm happy to report that this photo
was taken from a safe, dry place.
I do love a great stormy sky, though,
don't you? You're looking northeast
from 6th Ave., over some Greenwich
Village rooftops.

new york at night

Went to see my friends Elynn and David,

who live on the 39th floor of their cloud

and have 360° views of Manhattan and

beyond.  This is just part of their

spectacular view (looking south).
