Tribeca-ning. I'm eternally enamoured by the view that Brooklyn promenade provides! I first caught a glimpse of it back in 2003 sans the towers. Their absence though profound, does not lessen the seductive charm of the busy Lower Manhattan skyline. In fact their absence provides the stimulus for visioning the future of the Financial District and the hope it affords is antithetical to the despair that was brought on by the tragic events of September 11, 2001. This picture was taken on December 30, 2006 at 0115 hrs on a Canon Rebel xTi digital SLR. The provision of this high end photographic equipment was the generous consideration of my significant other. I don't consider myself being PC but thats how I prefer to address her. Clearly I'm not trying to be gender-blind in addressing her so!

The view of city is magical from across the river and the pic captures the sheer electricity of the moment. Great photo... Another spot with nearly as much 'atmosphere' is the Gantry Park on Long Island City. There you get Midtown and the 59th Street Bridge.
