I've tried to capture Manhattanhenge a few times over the past few years and was never successful in any attempt. It's always cloudy right when the sun hits the horizon and it's a wash. After many failed attempts, I gave up, unless I just happened to be in Manhattan on the right day…

A NYC Bike Ride Home From Photo Plus
After attending the Photo Plus expo the other weekend, you see so many amazing huge prints, new gear, and hear free seminars that you can't help but want to go out and shoot photos right away.

For whatever reason, you really get a sense of scale with these things over the typical jaw dropping Freedom Tower and Empire State Building...

I'm taking a break from the air and am back on the ground now for this weeks photo of the week. I took advantage of a brief hour or so that I had to wander around downtown and almost forgot how much there is to photograph in this little area. Usually, photos are taken inside of the Oculus but it looks nearly as cool from the outside...
