It’s something that is not to be forgotten when the New York City is viewed high above the streets. The sound becomes softer at that height and the entire size of the city is seen. In one panoramic view of 360deg, rivers, bridges, parks and skyscrapers all come together in a single view. Rather than solitary landmarks, there is a living landscape in all directions coming together. The skyline is not just about the architecture, it is a narrative of history and ambition. The fact that the sunlight is reflected on glass towers or cloud vapor moving above the harbor makes the moment even more interesting. Even the old time dwellers will appreciate it when they see the view of the city in this new angle. It is a strong message of the huge, full-of-life, cross-linked New York.
The unmatched 360 views are important as they make sightseeing an experience. You are able to see the winding of the Hudson River and identify the well-known landmarks without making a single step. The opposition of old houses and new skyscrapers is made conspicuously vivid. The city is bathed in warm gold pink colors at sunset which seem to be rather movie-like. By night thousands of lights glitter like stars that have fallen on earth. In each of the directions, there is something different as there is no two moments that would be similar. The photos are just the beauty, but it is the experience to be on top of the whole thing that is remembered. During the day, daylight and the night, the panorama captivates the New York energy in its most purest form.
