We went by Ferry from Battery Park City at Vesey Street for a photoshoot at Paulus Hook, Jersey City in November with Sierra Photo of New York City to photograph the moon over the Freedom Tower in Manhattan.
As the sky changed colors so did the light and color on the buildings in Manhattan.
We spent a lot of time waiting for the moon to peak out of the clouds. It finally did. I was amused by the moon creating a moonsicle on the antenna on top of the Freedom Tower.

That looks like a nice outing. Was that with a photography club?
Nature organization https://www.linnaeannewyork.org/ We do a lot of bird centric outings. Next Tuesday we have a monthly free Zoom meeting if you are interested.
Awesome skyline, the shots with the moon are great too.
🙂 Thanks
Well done for patiently waiting for the moon. All great shots but my favourite is the first one.
Thank you 🌕
Excellent pics!! That was a very nice evening. First time I had the opportunity to take pictures from that perspective. Nice getting together with you and other club members who participated.
It was a lovely evening.
“Moonsicle” is one of the best words — and metaphors — ever! And I’m always stirred by photos like these. Given all the news about NYC these days, it’s good to be reminded of how beautiful it can be.
Thanks. I made up the word.
Today at work I suddenly imagined Cat Stevens singing a parody of “Moon Shadow” — “Oh, I’ve been licking on a moonsicle, moonsicle, moonsicle…”
Ah! so, someone thought of it before I did. LOL
I never get tired of seeing that skyline, Sherry. Great sequence with the moon and the Freedom Tower.
I remember seeing the NYC skyline at night from an ocean liner when we sailed in from the UK when I was fourteen.
That had to be an amazing sight.
Splendid use of the light and the moon – congratulations on your patience for the latter
Thanks. Always brings back memories of seeing it from a ship when I was fourteen.
