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.

Old wooden pilings rise from the East River with the Manhattan skyline glowing in the background. Viewed from Brooklyn Bridge Park
