I used to work in that area. You captured the shapes superbly!
I love the serenity. It’s not what I equate with New York. I don’t know the city at all, except through photographs. I’d love to include this in one of my future walks, if you wouldn’t mind, Jane? 🙂 🙂
Hi Jo, Happy you enjoyed this collection from my walks along the Hudson. What they’ve done to the waterfront over the years in NY is marvelous.
Of course, I’d love to be included in your walks series. Thanks so much. 🙂
That’s brilliant, Jane. Thanks so much for the link. I wouldn’t have minded if you hadn’t included it. 🙂 🙂
My favorite is the laid back, relaxed person on the bench with the skyline in the background. Looks like it might just be possible to relax in NY?
Thanks, Gunta. That shot was a great moment of light. The Hudson River Park is a fabulous place to relax with a book…yes, it is possible. 😉
these r gorgeous Jane!!! i am always missing manhattan….they give me a warm & fuzzy feeling….wonderful details..👍
Thanks, April. I agree and it’s so nice to go back for visits. Glad I brought back some good NY feelings… 😊
Absolutely gorgeous. You really have an eye for geometric patterns. 🙂 🙂 Hope all’s well with you!
Thanks so much, Patti. I love the challenge of finding architectural patterns. Enjoying springtime in SF- hope you are doing well, too.
Love the piers shot, a different view of the city.
Thanks, Lisa. I love those old piers… there are a few left in SF, too, that make a wonderful foreground.
This is a truly wonderful series of images, Jane.
I hope you enjoyed your time here in NY.
Have a fantastic holiday weekend!
Thank you so much, Lisa. Loved our long weekend in the city and all the new developments. Nothing like springtime in NY. Hope you are enjoying your holiday!
You’re bringing back memories, Jane! I used to work near there and many times I walked over after work to de-stress (not in the winter!). It’s a great place to photograph, too, between all the glass and the water vistas. “Branches” is my favorite!
Hi Lynn, Your old stomping grounds, how nice! Glad these brought back some good memories. The area is being transformed — it’s astounding the changes each time we go back. I love to study the architecture. Thanks so much!
Such a delight to see your amazing work, Jane
Thank you very much, Cornelia. Hope all is well with you.
Loved the piers Jane – and you definitely did the Oculus and Calatrava justice. If only it weren’t wedged in the middle of of of the such a busy and crowded area.
Thanks, Tina. It’s difficult to get a sense of it all in that area and there are more buildings going up all around it. Between that and the High Line it’s quite astounding.
Great tribute to a very special city.
Thanks, Jane. I love walking this route and studying the scenes. Miss you!
Fantastic depth of field in the first photo’s and the others have a wonderful patterns and lines. Love it!
Thanks so much, Noortje. I love urban landscapes and studying the patterns in architecture. Glad you enjoyed this series!

New York at its most beautiful. Each and every photo is gorgeous and together the tell a quieter story of the big metropol.
Hi Otto, This area of the city is fascinating to study- a lot of exciting development going on. I’m happy to read your kind thoughts on these images- thank you so much.
Lovely photos of the most photogenic city, Jane. I tried to keep your work in mind when in SLO last week, but have a long ways to go.
How nice of you to say, Susan. Thanks so much. I bet you got some great shots in SLO. Looking forward to taking a look.
Now I’m in a NY state of mind. I love the photos along the Hudson and the interior of the Occulus. Fabulous work today, Jane.

I have seen zillions of photos. Yours just take my breath away. Best “composition photographers” I can say. Voilå.

Beautiful images of New York…(Suzanne)
Thanks very much, Suzanne. I assume you have been in your well traveled life. 😊
Yes, I have many times, either for business or for vacation but it has been many years since I have set foot in New York. We hope to go this year…
I figured you had. You’ll be surprised by all the changes.
Lines, lines, and more lines…wonderful images and a great tour, Jane!

Worthy tribute to Tom Wolfe Jane. Not a little script
Thanks, Abrie. Thought it was a fitting time for these great quotes. Glad you enjoyed.
I know I commented on a previous post about your other Hudson Afternoon photo, but this similar photo in this post is again my favorite.
