Thursday Challenge—"flight"

This was the view from Flight 5164,
the last time I returned home 
from a trip down to Virginia.  (And if I'd
been on the other side of the plane
I could have seen my apartment building
just then as we flew over Brooklyn.)

ABC Wednesday—S is for "smoggy skyline"

Took this shot of the skyline of lower Manhattan 
shortly before we came in for a landing at 
LaGuardia Airport.  It's home and I think it's 
beautiful—even when it looks like this.

The Weekend in Black and White

Who knows what's missing from this skyline?
Hint: This photo was taken in 2011 from
a boat on the Hudson River, and there are
actually two correct answers.

Nice view

It's not my view, but I do get to enjoy
it from time to time—as long as
I'm willing to hang out this 10th-story
window, that is.

and to Skywatch Friday.]

L'heure bleu

One night last week it was finally warm enough
(i.e., just slightly above freezing) to walk
over the Brooklyn Bridge.  Though it was dark by the time
I got to the other side, it was my favorite time of 
day—the blue hour—when I started across.

Skywatch Friday

I'm still in the same neighborhood

 as yesterday's post—this time looking east 

from Park Avenue. The building

with the interesting slanted roofline

is the Citicorp Building.

abc wednesday - C is for "chimney pots"

—hundreds and hundreds of them, with a

bonus thrown in. If you've been to the

Beaubourg (Centre Pompidou), you'll

recognize that this photo (one of my faves)

was taken from there, with a pretty long lens.
