east river view

..a nice place to take in the view of the city and hear all the crazy drivers honking..

..flares were probably caused by dust bunnies on the filter, i just left it there.. it looked cool.. (and too much trouble to clean up too..)

cyber downtown

..five image stitch panorama of downtown manhattan taken from the staten island ferry.. i could’ve had the bridges on the right too if not for the crowd of tourists on the right side..

..this template’s not suited to panoramas so click the thumbnail below for the biggie sized version..

street view

..what do you do when you wanna capture manhattan a-la vincent laforet but can’t justify the moolah to get a ‘copter? get up the tallest building you can find and dangle your camera out the ledge, and voila.. (just make sure to wrap the strap around your wrist..)

..this here’s looking up the north face of the empire state building..

flatt’s inlet

..i remember the wind blowing so hard that water was churning under flatt’s bridge (it’s somewhere in the left part of the frame, i think i’ll post another one later..) and through the inlet pretty hard while i took this..

..we were figuring out how to get to the crystal caves.. it was a long walk, good thing the friendly locals pointed us to the right direction.. ride a bus.. 😀

a boat in a cave

..still from the keep, this is called the high cave.. this body of water doesn’t go anywhere.. the boat is probably for tourists falling in the water..

bay ridge shore

..for a landscape, i pretty much screwed up the settings for this one and wasn’t able to set the proper depth to attain the acceptable overall sharpness.. it still looked salvageable, so here it is.. distortion and all.. 😀

chug chug goes the tugboat

..how’s that for a title! 😀 now if only the chrysler was a bit taller, this’ll look like those AT&T “bars” advertisement, but the signal’s going down instead of up.. hmm..

something’s aglow

..here’s a UFO USO surfacing from the east river..

*after reading mike’s comment, i changed UFO to USO because it makes perfect sense.. why hadn’t i thought of it.. maybe it’s because i’m off to bermuda again this weekend.. lol! ;D

light of all

..it seems i’ve been bitten by the tweakies again.. the sun on the light post was just too good to pass up so i tweaked away (or at least attempted to.. 😀 )

..this here’s the arlington street church..

Arlington Street Church is a Unitarian Universalist church located in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1729 as the “Church of the Presbyterian Strangers”, it became independent in 1787, taking on a Congregational model. In 1803, it called William Ellery Channing as its minister who defined “Unitarian Christianity” and launched the Unitarian movement, making the Arlington Street Church one of the first to define itself as Unitarian. On May 17, 2004, the church was the site of the first state-sanctioned same-sex marriage in the United States. (more)

..and, if you were wondering about that blue cast.. yeah.. it’s deliberate..
