May 2021 – Golden Sunrise over NYC
If you have your Picture This Photography NYC Calendar this is your May 2021 image "Golden Sunrise over NYC"
Early morning Sunrise is my favourite time of day that I don't get see anywhere near as much as I would like to. The kaleidoscope of colours make every sunrise a surprise palette of dreams while the calm & emptiness of the streets before the awakening of The City makes it my own secret world that I love to live in.
This image was taken during a special sunrise event at The Empire State Building where I was lucky enough to snag a ticket. Getting up early enough to arrive prior to sunrise, pass through security and up to the 86th floor prior to 6am is no easy task but the excitement and thrill of unique photos to capture made it so worthwhile!
I love the directional view south-west giving perfect golden glow over Lower Manhattan from the eastern sunrise. View finders are one of my favourite things to photograph or atleast incorporate into a photograph as I love their shape, features & movability.
Golden Sunrise evokes feelings of warmth, optimism, a fresh start, endless possibility, a new day & hope of feeling good (as the song says) and has never been a truer necessity than right now May 2021.
