I had the chance tonight to briefly check out the views from the roof of a Sutton Place building along the river. This is the Queensboro Bridge, which links Manhattan at 59th Street to Queens and the rest of Long Island. The bridge runs over Roosevelt Island, which is where they used to keep the lepers, I think. This was a quick comp, shot once, so many elements (like bridge traffic) could be better—though the hazy night gave a nice glow to the more distant lights. Still, a different view of the bridge. I'm not sure if my Tokina is as sharp as it should be. I might send it in for servicing.

Superb shot. It's a lovely perspective on the bridge. I'm off to NYC next month and would love to get something similar - is this vantage point open to the public or easily accessible?

I love this. Especially the deep blues and oranges and the elegant span of the bridge. You are the Sutanto of NYC.
