photographyblog 2010/08/13 Roof Hopping Had an invitation to see the city from a new rooftop—an opportunity I rarely pass up. We were invited to a friend’s house for dinner, and adjourned to the roof before that to watch the sunset, and after our lovely dinner to see the city’s lights. The view from K's roof. The fountain at Lincoln Center from a different perspective. The gradient of colors paint the buildings around Columbus Circle. Sunset over the Hudson River and New Jersey. Criss-crossing contrails in the sunset over New Jersey. The last glimmer of light from this day. K and Mel looking toward Lincoln Center and the Upper West Side. The view from the west side of Manhattan with cars speeding up Amsterdam Avenue. The lights of Times Square radiate into the sky.
