There was fog by the bridge on Wednesday. Overcast over the city, and starry skies overhead. This was an "overview" shot I did before a few closeups, and then it socked in. Tricky to shoot because the sky blows out when exposing the foreground fog.

24-70 @ 38mm, f/8, 54-203s ISO 100 plus 160s ISO 400.

Another New York shot. In the foreground, the Port Authority Bus Terminal as featured in Bourne Ultimatum. To the right is 11 Times Square (2010) and just a bit of the New York Times Building (2007). Times Square itself is a block behind them.

17-40 @ 32mm, f/8, 1-30s.

Reminiscing about fog and clouds. We're all getting antsy about this dry winter. This was taken on the evening of July 5th, 2011. Earlier, at sunset: www.flickr.com/photos/exxonvaldez/5917451806/ . I remember they were repaving Conzelman so I walked from the newly built roundabout to get closer -- this why there is hillside on the left in both shots. Walked into a bench footing at one point and almost fell, no wonder the road was closed. :)

70-200 @ 89mm, f/7.1, 20s.

Just an aerial snapshot of the Union Square tree. It is not easy to spot among the buildings. I was wondering what it would look like from above and this is an answer.

My last minute shooting plan fell through at the literal last minute, so Plan B was a random spot at Twin Peaks.
