NYC Sunrise – Perspective, Part Two

             Sunrise Over Midtown – Lower Manhattan just left of Center

     From Eagle Rock Reservation,  N.J,  a Rescue Dog looks right

Perched on a remnant from the World Trade Center, his gaze is on lower Manhattan

Island Beach State Park, Early Morning

Yesterday, July 2nd, I crossed Barnegat Bay at sunrise to the boater’s access path on New Jersey’s “Island Beach State Park,” enjoying an early morning walk at the edge of the Atlantic.


The last two images display nicely under higher zoom.

As always, thanks for viewing, and comments are always welcome. M 🙂

 

 

The Marina Life – Fifteen Years Ago (Revised)

Quiet, Still – Pre-Dawn Solitude

April 27, 2001

It was grunge – it was heaven

Smelly fish – and hot chowder

Windy, wet and wild – and indescribably beautiful

Broken winches, faulty I/O’s, muddy lines – BBQ food, drinks and best of friends

Weekends were…. The Marina Life.

PROOF! Con Edison Sucking Energy from Sun!

 

DSC_00902/6/16, 7:06 AM Solar energy being sucked into one smokestack of the East River Generating Plant, Manhattan. Note the proximity of the Con Edison headquarters and its suspicious “Tower of Light” on the left.

At 7:02:40, just 4 minutes prior, the sun is seen right behind the Con Ed Building, a 26 story tower completed in 1928 serving as a testament to the company’s power and influence over New York City.

A few days later, 2/11/16,  a closer vantage point reveals the suspicious proximity of the so called smokestacks (actually a mile further) to Con Ed’s odd looking, bronze Tower of Light.

No issues here…whatever their methods, Consolidated Edison has served the needs of most of New York City and Westchester County for over 150 years providing steam, gas and electrical energy.

Oh, and yes…the first photo, in fact, shows an interesting optical refraction of the sun’s image by the heat rising from that one smokestack.
