Manhattan skyline

Taken from Gantry Plaza State Park on the Long Island City side of the East River across from the United Nations building. When taking photos at sunset, you have to stick around for the best moment: this was quite a bit after the sun had "gone down", but this sky colour was more impressive than the rather disappointing sunset.

Autumn

Today I went up to Central Park to see how the leaves are doing, but they've still hardly started changing colour yet, so there's not a lot to photograph. After looking high and low, this is the best I could come up with!

Looking over photos I took last year, things should start happening in a week or two.

Grant's Tomb

Whenever I'm on Riverside Drive I'm always surprised to discover Grant's Tomb. Since I don't know the neighbourhood that well, somehow I'm never expecting it to be there.

The Cloisters

Last weekend I made a trip up to the Cloisters at the north end of Manhattan for the first time in a while. I'm always looking for chances to add a frame to a photo, here I was lucky to get two in one.

Horseshoe Falls at night

At night the falls at Niagara Falls are illuminated by coloured lights, but I this one better in black and white. The circles are caused by spotlights shining across from the other side of the gorge.
