Undisputed capital of the world. In their respective times of glory, London and Rome are probably the only ones close.

Why do people insist on saying things like this?

Even the non-impressive stuff is impressive. I'm impressed.

To revel in our glory.

The view in the 3rd pic is going to be ungodly when the WTC complex, 50 West, and 99 Church are completed.

Just a bit too much more for this mind to absorb.

NYC may be the only place on earth to have tall buildings visible only from an airplane.

Gosh darn NYC is overwhelmingly enormous

That BofA is even fatter from above...

That last one is awesome. The pic of Times Square made me cringe though. Can't stand that place avoid it like the plague especially around the holidays.

The City!

I've discovered a most mind-blowing aerial of the lower end of the Tappan Zee, looking south along the Hudson Valley. Photo is by Pierre Beautrais

Check out the Pallisades Parkway! One of the most beautiful highways in the country.

Whenever I want a new desktop, I come here.

Thanks for the photos.

It's gonna be even more mind boggling if or should I say more likely when DT Brooklyn starts getting higher and LIC and more generally the whole waterfront really get going, that last shot shows the beginnings and potential for that.

:previous:Yankeesfan please post these last pics on the general "Aerial" photos thread too! More people should see these last series...awesome!:notacrook:
