Taken on the southern edge of Central Park in New York City, looking toward Midtown Manhattan from near The Pond.

From left to right, visible buildings include 111 West 57th Street (the thin, needle-like skyscraper), Central Park Tower (one of the world’s tallest residential buildings), and the historic Essex House hotel with its red rooftop sign. The green-roofed Plaza Hotel can also be seen near the center-right, just below the taller modern towers of Billionaires’ Row.

The Inscope Arch sits near the southeast corner of Central Park, close to Grand Army Plaza and 59th Street. At night, the stone passageway offers a calm, almost hidden route beneath the park’s trees.

The entrance of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan is seen at night. Several vehicles, including an NYPD patrol car, are parked outside the building along a marked bike lane.
