Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Misty.
I recall a misty paddle through New York Harbor back in April 2010…
This was actually a paddle from Manhattan around Staten Island, past the Graveyard of Ships
and many still-living ships
back to Manhattan, still misty in the evening…
More photos are here.

I was thinking you would have lots of great misty shots Vlad. Love the graveyard ones.

Actually I don’t have as many as you might think. We don’t have all that much fog and mist around here—not like Maine, for instance :-)

really cool – and love the first one the most – the city looks so small in that view – and the mood of the mist is neat….

The city is small once you get out into the expanse of the harbor. Looking at that picture, I notice, too, the absence of the new World Trade Center tower. Today the skyline looks quite different…

These are great, and I’m with Y, I like the photo of the skyline … Manhattan looks as if it’s sailing away …

I especially love the two with the red and the green buoys! Unless I’m mistaken, that’s the Verrazano Bridge in the background, isn’t it? That bridge has captured my imagination since the first time I saw it oh so many, many years ago. To me, it ranks right up there with the Golden Gate. The pops of color in each photo add such a great dimension. And the first picture of Manhattan – that’s my third favorite :D All great shots!

Yes, that’s the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. We pass under it all the time, and so have countless photos of it on this blog… Glad to have brought back happy memories! Thanks so much!!
