Lower Manhattan 2-19-2014
Taking a cruise out of New York Harbor always provides an unmistakable vantage point of the Financial District. Looking back from the upper deck under an overcast Autumn sky, the sheer scale of the skyscrapers crowding the tip of Lower Manhattan stands out in sharp relief across the dark open water.
Captured in high-contrast black and white, this skyline composition centers on One World Trade Center rising high above the dense downtown towers. A small passenger ferry churns through the rippled water in the lower left, providing scale against the massive architectural wall and textured cloud cover overhead.
