Aboard Bateaux New York‘s boat Celestial for a sunset dinner cruise
We’ve seen the Celestial cruising around the harbor many times from our kayaks, but this is quite a different experience ;-)
Plenty of opportunities for selfies with the Manhattan skyline
There go our kayaking buddies!
The Manhattan skyline in the dusk
… and round the Battery for more photo-ops in the East River

This week’s Photo Challenge is Two Subjects. I’ve already posted one response to this challenge, but I can’t resist having another go.
A few days ago we had occasion to take the Circle Line boat ride around Manhattan. The boat was packed. I came ready with my camera. But I couldn’t decide whether to focus (figuratively as well as literally) on the magnificent sights of the city coming into view one after another, or on the activities of other passengers. They, too, were snapping photos of the sights but even more of each other…
You just know what is to the left of the frame in the next photo, don’t you?
That’s right—the money shot!
