Back last year, while returning by ferry from a day-trip to Manhattan, the lighting was awesome. Being the busy Christmas season of 2016, these images were saved in my computer until… now! Storms to the north and the late afternoon sun brightly shinning in the south-west accentuated the stunning view.
As usual, click on the image for a closer look, and thanks for viewing. Comments and questions are always welcome. M 🙂

A small gem of a park atop the Palisades.
The view is awesome.
Across the Hudson River, midtown and north. Note the new and very tall “residential” skyscrapers now beginning to dominate the skyline to the left.
Cruise ships berth right against Manhattan, as seen from Hamilton Park.
A view slightly south: the Chrysler Building, left; Times Square area buried within, just to its right; and the Empire State Building.
Four miles down-river stands the Freedom Tower.
This wide view shows the tower in lower Manhattan; Jersey City to the right; and lower pathways and view spots in the park (foreground.) Jeanne is talking to a friend, Linda, on the bench.
Looking down river with my telephoto lens, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge is almost 12 miles to the south. Just beyond and left (out of sight,) the Atlantic Ocean.
It was a nice day for a visit to this special little place.
Thanks for viewing, and as usual, comments are always welcome.
