Brill. The water and the sky hold all the gold. Very special effect.

It was one of those days… possibly the air pollution had something to do with the golden light ;-)

Will be in Central Park area tomorrow….searching the internet for good locations for a sunset shot, I came across your blog. If you see this, I would love a suggestions as to where might be a good location. Thanks!

Well, I like a bit of open space, preferably water, to the west or southwest of me for that sunset shot. So the eastern edge of the Central Park reservoir, looking west, is good—
Farther south in the Park, the Lake, e.g. by the Boathouse Restaurant, is also good, although probably less good in winter when the sun sets farther south.
Of course, if you can get to the roof or a high floor of a tall building near the Park, or in fact almost anywhere in the city, facing west—
