This is what Manhattan looks like if you were to be hanging roughly 1,776 feet in the air from a crane. Via camera footage from the Port Authority, h/t @verge
The Statue of Liberty will re-open on July 4 for the first time since Hurricane Sandy, officials announced today.
I took this photo from Battery Park early last year.
There’s apparently another huge snow storm that will batter the East coast, but luckily New York will miss most of it. I think the last storm was good enough for me for this year. I haven’t even finished sorting through all the photos I took while walking around “Nemo”-night.
The photo here is from that night in Nolita on Prince Street. The color has been substantially shifted, though…the real color is a yellowish-orange tinge from the streetlights. But I have enough of those photos so I wanted to see what it’d look like with the white balance shifted.
While walking up Midtown during the storm commercially known as “Nemo”, I stopped by the Rockefeller Center to see what the view was like. The attendant told me I was only the 10th person he’d seen the entire night and that there was zero visibility. It was definitely pretty windy up there but you could catch a view of the well-lighted areas, such as Times Square. The last photo in this series is from another night when it really was “zero-visibility”

Apparently, it’s always been hard to find a cab during New York blizzards.
