Among the Giants, Lower Manhattan, NYC

Downtown from 23 stories up. Some great history here. The tortuous streets create fantastic layering, and the centuries-old houses of Pearl Street and Stone Street sit among the mega-buildings. Clouds blowing through in the aftermath of this weekend's rain, reflecting orange from the city lights below. Trying out the Tokina 12-24.

Single exposure / 15s / 12mm (18mm=) / f/8 / ISO 200
