Manhattan On Fire
The bunny and I were still kind of jetlagged yesterday so we ended up waking up at about 5.30am and decided to wander down to the boardwalk and watch the sun rise.
What I certainly didn’t expect was to see the Manhattan skyline being crept up on from behind by such a furious red, and yet just before it was all but enveloped by it, the vermillion suddenly dissipated into clear blue skies, speckled with fluffy, cotton-wool-ly clouds.
So far, the Manhattan I’m seeing isn’t really the Manhattan I’ve imagined – yes, it’s my first time on the East coast – but it has already far surpassed my dreams. Until I venture into Times Square, I suspect the streets of this city will continue to be emptier than I had been prepared for, and the buildings will continue to loom higher than my neck can crane to see.
Right now, all I can say is this: Thank God I bought the 16-35mm. :p
