City of Contrasts

Sunlight, by rantoutloud.

A day spent in New York city is not enough, you’ll need at least a week to cover the basics and a lifetime, I guess, to get to grips with it.
I spent the day just walking around looking and trying to get a flavor of the the place doing the obvious, Empire State Building the Museum of Modern Art, MoMA’s as it’s affectionately known and the obligatory walk through Central Park.
The view from the observation deck, 86th floor, of the Empire State Building is quite spectacular and challenging to get a photograph that conveys the heights and size of the place. I was quite lucky with the weather and the photo I got with the shadow of the tower cast across the buildings below seems to do it justice.
The Best photo for me of the city is the one where just one of the buildings is highlighted by the evening sunshine. The contrast echoing the city.
