The sunset on my first night in New York. The sun was glorious.
The Brooklyn Bridge at night from Empire-Fulton State Park with the Manhattan skyline.
The photo here isn't fantastic, mostly thanks to the crappy lighting, but the view was stunning. You are walking in the middle of the Financial District, and then all of a sudden, after passing the NYSE, you hit Wall Street. This is the view to the west. It's Trinity Church (the church in National Treasure where the stash of treasure is found underground). It's a good visual of the old and new structures that stand next to one another all across town.
This was on Sunday afternoon during the sunniest rain shower I've ever been in. I like that you can see the shine from the sun and the glare off the wet path. This is the Literary Walk in Central Park and is a frequent location for movies. The only one I'm coming up with right now, though, is Maid in Manhattan. Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes go for a walk here when she's wearing the borrowed suit.
My favorite view in New York City. This is from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade (as was the first), but on this night, there wasn't a visible sun and the sky was grey until after the sun set. All of a sudden, I looked up and realized the clouds behind the Financial District skyscrapers were turning cotton-candy pink. This is the sunset from Sunday night that was described in this week's column. My Austrian visitors and I had already stopped to take pictures of the view, but this was too good to pass up.

The pictures are just amazing! Maybe you should look into photography; you have a real knack.
