i couldn’t get a good photo of the city (side note: to me the city will always mean new york city) so i photographed the inner city lights.
a day late and a dollar short, but be sure to check out the other peeps doing the darn thing on time.

fascinating photo of the city lights.
thanks pat.i would have loved a photo of the city itself, but didn’t have time to climb my mountain.
the city is always NY to me too
pretty shot
yay, dianne, you too. i’ve been places, but nyc will always be the greatest city in the world to me.
Great bokeh! I’d save it for a rainy day when I was feeling like playing with layers.
The city of my heart will always be NYC but the city in my part of the world will always be Boston. Stay safe down there, Val.
cheryl, you’ll have to teach me photoshop and layers. i can see though how this photo would work well with another photo though.
boston woman,eh? well that’s cool. i haven’t been there in forever!! or wait, have i been? what the?
Is it always that foggy in your city?
yes, nonamedufus, all day, every day when viewed through my lens. i rather not look at the people anyway. very disturbing bunch.
I like this take on city lights. I hope that you keep your lights through the storm!
i hope so too, laughingmom. i think tonight will be worse and we’ll wake up to nothing or screams.
I love pics like this!!!!
thanks, barb!
Valerie, this is an excellent take on the theme. And NYC is the only “city” to me too.
yeah, yeah. NYC all the way. the best city ever (to me). thanks, mel.
Val, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this photo!
WOW! It’s soooooooooo cool!
The next time we getting together, I have to ask you HOW you got this shot because it’s so AWESOME!
“side note: to me the city will always mean new york city”
TOTALLY agree! NYC is the greatest city!
Take care and stay safe…..X
thanks ron. it’s every easy, but you need a camera lens you can manual focus and a large aperture. that is all.
yes, and are we ever going to meet up in the city. i have an idea. will email yall.
I love the surreal, mysterious quality of this photo. And the shiny colors. Shiny, shiny! Also, I’m jealous that you have a view of NYC, the world’s greatest city, a city that is simultaneously decaying and being reborn every day.
thanks mike. i do have some pretty good views of the city, mostly on my way to work, but still can get some great views from different parks too. we’re very close to the city, about a 22 minute train ride, not long by car either. decaying and being reborn is just about right. i love it, dirt, crime, crazy peeps and all! okay i don’t like the crime.
My god, I want to go back to NYC… I loved it. This is a beautiful photo, V, definitely says “the city” to me.
well if you come back for a visit, z, please do let me know i could show you around the city. i mean i will get your behind so lost you’ll hate me for days.
May not be the shot you wanted but it’s awesome, nonetheless.
thanks, jamie. i would love to see NY now. underwater i’m sure.
This is a SUPER NEAT shot and idea! I love the colors especially!
thanks, katherine.
What a great idea. Love that it’s minimalist yet colorful.
Thanks, mike.
