Happy Valentine’s Day from New York City. Above is a shot of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge…taken from a walk I took around the DUMBO area (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). More shots to follow from the walk in coming weeks.

The Lincoln Tunnel & Streets of New York City
To my loyal Portsmouth followers…thanks for visiting today and allowing me to humor you with another guest city post…Portsmouth will return tomorrow!
On the way into New York City on New Year’s Day, we took the Lincoln Tunnel…which was pleasantly quiet thanks to everyone having the day off from work. After we parked near our destination for dinner on the Upper West Side, I had to run and get some cash from an ATM when I saw the newsstand and the characters below, and had to snap a shot.

New York City by Night (and Snow)
Today’s post features two of Manhattan’s iconic buildings. Above the Chrysler Building can be seen looming over the streetscape, illuminated by the street lamps and cabs all reflecting off the wet streets thanks to the evening’s flurries. Below, the Empire State Building is wearing its Christmas colors and illuminating the surrounding flurries in contrast to the dark streetscape below.
I rang in the new year with my sweetheart in the New York/New Jersey area. After getting dinner on New Year’s Day in the city with friends, I asked (pleaded) for a quick drive past some landmarks to snap a few shots. Always happy to have the chance to shoot!

New York City Fireworks | West Side Highway
New York City closed down its West Side Highway for spectators to take in the fireworks shot over the Hudson River in honor of the 400th anniversary of its discovery. They had 4 or 5 barges shooting fireworks simultaneously up the river…quite a spectacle! There were 10s of thousands of people along the highway (a guesstimate)…and the city did an excellent job keeping it orderly and enjoyable for all. Will post a gallery to my FLICKR soon. Tomorrow afternoon’s post will feature fireworks from Portsmouth as taken from South Mill Pond.

July 4th | New York City
In New York City for the weekend and tonight’s fireworks! Happy birthday America! (And happy 400th birthday to the discovery of the Hudson River!) We’ll be watching from that little strip of highway at the bottom of the frame…they’re closing it down for the night, should be quite a scene.
