New York, New York! by taffy

New York, New York!

Taken as @jyokota and I were on approach to LaGuardia airport. The very cold weather made the skies as clear as I've ever seen them over the city. This is the southern tip of Manhattan and, in the foreground, I think it's Brooklyn. I like this image better than the b&w I posted yesterday, so am posting it on an open day (that happens to be the day before it actually took place) so there won't be holes in my b&w album.
Main album shot for today - Brooklyn Bridge - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-02-10
FAV! Of course. After all, I shared my window :) Love how you captured the buildings so they really pop out.
