I grew up in lower New York – not far from Manhattan. My dad & step-mom still live down there, and when we visit, we try to take the kids into ‘the City’ (as New Yorkers refer to Manhattan). A few weeks ago we visited the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. If you’ve never heard of the Intrepid, it’s basically a “floating museum”, housed on a retired aircraft carrier. This post really isn’t about the Intrepid but I have to tell you – it’s really cool. The size of the ship alone is amazing, let alone what it takes to launch and land fighter planes off its deck. Really cool. Gives a whole new respect for the amazing men and women who serve aboard these ‘floating cities’.
Anyway, back to the sky…. I’m pleased with how crisp the photo came out; I shot it specifically to capture the NY skyline. It was very windy and cool, but a beautiful day to be on the New York harbor.
Lovely clouds above the city!
Have a wonderful week-end!

Thanks for visiting, Lea!
Beautiful clear day. I like the action and movement in the photo. – Margy
Thanks Margy!
‘Crisp’ is the perfect word to describe this photo – in both clarity and weather! Great variety all in one image.
It was definitely a crisp day, which helped!
We visited the Intrepid last summer. My boys loved it! And so did I actually. So much fun and a great view of the city too.
I totally loved it too – it was the second time I’ve been there. Can’t do the sub, though. I’m way claustrophobic.
