Went to New York City recently. It was very photogenic in general, but this might be the most epic pic of it I took this trip.
Taken from across the river in NJ.
10.) My first sweater of a city skyline. Made it after 9/11 as a tribute and as a reaction to the news, inspired by images from the paper on 9/12 that I purchased. Picture taken in 2017. I have no plans on making this sweater into a T-shirt because my other New York skyline sweater is available as one. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorkskyline #NY #NYC #newyorkcityskyline #hudson #hudsonriver
Nostalgic cinematic montage of the Twin Towers of World Trade Center in New York City, U.S. It's so beautiful to see these gigantic towers. For me, the Twin Towers are the most impressive and astonishing buildings I have ever known. These towers had some magic around them, love it.
A night view from the Queens side of the Queensborough Bridge, January 12, 1951. It shows the new United Nations Building (rectangular structure, left). The tall buildings from the center of picture to the right are the Daily News building with its television tower, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building (with the needle-sharp spire).
In the foreground is what was then called Welfare (now Roosevelt) Island. In the early 20th century, when it was called Blackwell's Island, it housed prisons, almshouses, and a lunatic asylum. In 1921 it was renamed Welfare Island and in 1934 the old institutions were replaced by city hospitals. Today, as Roosevelt Island, it contains moderate-income housing and shopping complexes.
The angle of vision leads to some confusion. The Empire State Building is actually not between the Daily News and Chrysler Building. It is at 34th Street. The U.N., Daily News, and Chrysler Buildings are all along 42nd Street. The view is along a diagonal line which accounts for the distortion.
