Photo Of The Day: June 3, 2008

Last week, I was settling in to do some photo processing when I saw this wonderful view out my window of the skyline of Manhattan. It always looks a little different, and this particular day, the setting sun and dwindling light made for a nice combination of color, contrast, and openess. The obvious landmarks include the Empire State Building, the MetLife building, the Chrysler Building, and the Citicorp building. Harder to discern is the gold-topped New York Life building -- I'll show that in a future photo when the sun is illuminating that top to a brilliant shine. If your curiosity has overtaken you and can't wait until then, it's just at the bottom of the Empire State Building in the right 50% of the building's view from this perspective.
