So much better now! Cool to see where it came from though. Midtown was basically 1 skyscraper, Empire State Building lol

Crazy how different the skyline is now.

That's the New York I remember from my days of visiting family in Brooklyn. We used go to up the WTC all the time but I was always mad because we never went up the ESB.

And I still have never been up the ESB (I've been up all the other ones including the new ones).

The NY of my childhood, seeing it on TV and all the "old" media forms.

This is what I think of when I think of the New York skyline. Outstanding.

I like the shot from the bridge the best.
