At the end of the day shooting into the sun gave a lovely glow to the images.

    I’m going to have to add this to my list of places I want to visit. Absolutely lovely.

      It is lovely. Pity Governors Island isn’t open all year, I’d love to do some snow shots there.

        Rats. It looks like I missed it for this year. I guess snow shots are a long shot. Do you ever get snow here in May? I moved here from Wisconsin and we did, but it seems unlikely here.

          I don’t recall getting snow in May in NYC. You never know with this wacky weather these days.

    NY harbor has so many different “faces” and your image in the late afternoon is stunning!

    Great photos, I particularly like the third one as it looks very much like an English village 🙂
