Photo of the Day: August 21, 2008

New York can look good from any number of vantage points. It looks even better when the clouds decide to package the skyline as the sun is first coming up. I took this shot while appearing live on NHK-TV in Japan, on a program dedicated to discussing the art of taking sunrises in urban areas. Even though the rest of the city had barely woken up, the show was on prime time in Japan, thanks to the time difference. For more photos of New York City, visit Paul Scharff Photography.com.
