cjk Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 <p>Some photos from Manhattan taken yesterday and today. <br> iPhone photos mostly so apologies for the limited quality. <br> I have to say that going from Lower Manhattan (where we live) to Midtown feels like changing planets. <br> Most of Lower Manhattan has no power, empty and dark streets, no traffic lights, no street lights, no stores or restaurants open, no subway service, etc. <br> Midtown (and I imagine Uptown) feels totally normal... </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjk Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 <p>Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with no lights on. First time I see this in 13 years of living in New York. <br> Photos was taken around 9pm, in quasi total darkness. A 30 sec exposure is making this look like daylight! <br> Nikon D7000. </p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 <p>NYkers have a hard time with hurricanes because they rarely get any up there. When it comes to snowy blizzards they don't even bat an eyelash, but hurricanes forget about it !</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
