Seriously: Can anyone look at these photos and NOT agree that New York is the greatest city in the world?

These are incredible photos. Impressive.

Incredible. I want to go to NYC again right now!

Fantastic. thank you for such great images.

So many great pictures. Thanks for posting them.

I love the shot of Central Park. I’m so thankful for the foresight of Olmstead to design such a place of beauty.

Totally incredible. I sincerely can’t thank you enough for sharing.

awesome photos. i live 15 min from the city and i looked at every photo.

its just tall buildings. NYC is great if you like to race to an early death.

@maria …its a fantastic city, but unfortunately it’s in America. Not the greatest city in the world.

Amazing photos

If I didn’t adore NYC enough already, then you’ve just made me fall in love with all over again. My heart is pounding here.
Thank you!

No flatiron? OK, I saw it in the corner of one shot, but it deserves a feature picture, doesn’t it?

Holy mother of god. Amazing photos…

So beautiful, wish I was there. Also there’s no time square pic :( I love that spot.

Great photos. Very beautiful.

It’s pretty from afar, but from first hand experience living there, it’s a really dirty city.

Impressive photos indeed. I like #33 most. Central park is an amazing place.

I can say that New York isn’t the greatest city in the world. It is great but not the greatest. It has only buildings, huge buildings, one park and some bridges. It cannot be compared with many cities in Europe or Asia. Each city is unique. The French people would say Paris is the greatest city in the world, the Chinese people would say Shanghai is the greatest and so on. Greatness isn’t measured in money or number of tall buildings, it is given by history, culture and people.

These photos make me, too, wish to visit New York.

In an airplane.

;-)

Brooklyn, Queens (not just the cemetery, airport and ball park) and Staten Island are also New York City. Manhattan is one of FIVE boroughs, knuckleheads! From a real (not tourist, not transplanted, not a trust fund hipster) New York!

I can disagree! I was in Shanghai, and it impressed me more!

This is a fantastic collection. Kudos to Daniel Acker and the other photographers and to the photo editor who put this together. I’ve seen lots of aerials of New York (including my own) but these stand out. Great.

Amazing photo set, thanks for publishing these DP.

wouaow… what a pollution!!!

Superbes ! ^^

Awesome

–>Maria
Just one of them. Rome is older, Mexico is bigger, Rio is more exotic, Shanghai is more impressive, Dubai is fantastic.

I’ve lived or done extensive business in all of the great cities of the world. For every reason New York is the greatest city in the world – for food, art, culture there is no were else in the world like it. New York is the melting pot of the world. You go to Rome you will only get Italian food, Italian music, etc. In New York you can eat any type of cuisine you want and it will compare to the best in the respective home country. The museums, concert halls, etc. are also incomparable. Though granted Lincoln Center needs to be torn down.

You think New York is polluted? Look at the visibility in these photos. I challenge anyone to do the same in most other major cities. Shanghai? Forget it. That’s pollution. On most days you can barely see across the street.

The only other places I might ever consider living is Vancouver, Singapore or Chicago in that order.

An amazing collection of amazing photographs of an amazing city!

absolutely magnificent. i would appreciated a peek at brooklyn and my favorite bridge, the Williamsburg bridge.

Great photos, some of these images would great tilt shift miniatures (fake miniatures)

I know I take for granted the beauty of this metropolis… At street level, I’m ready to go…but looking at these photographs I take a step back, and remember why I can here in the first place.

These images are truly stunning – amazing! Thanks for sharing!

These photos make my heart yearn for New York..they are INCREDIBLE! I can hear those taxis..smell the New York smell, feel the heat of the summer..you did an amazing job. VERY talented!

I grew up in Brooklyn and driving to Manhattan was just part of my life; I was never much of a public transportation person. Moved to Florida and now I line in NC; I am called a “Halfback,” meaning I’m half-way back. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll return for good.

I sat looking at these pictures with tears in my eyes thinking about how wonderful a place NYC really is and how so many will never know its glory and splendor because they just won’t have the opportunity (for myriad reason) to experience it. Zmey mentioned many other great cities, most of which I’ll probably never see; but, at least, New York in ingrained in me to the nth degree and, to me, nothing beats it!

When I was a kid I marveled at how anyone from anywhere, any country, could find something that reminded them of home. They could buy publications in most any language at a newsstand on so many streets in Manhattan. Any type of food was getable in NY. Not only in restaurants, but little markets as well. And, Zmey, no matter how great the other cities you mentioned may be, there is NO PLACE else in the world, that I know of, of which that can be said. The theatre district alone makes NY stand out for innumerable reasons; England may have its West End, but nothing can compare to the Broadway experience!

This post has made my day. THANK YOU?!

Yes, here is my New York – the Gteatest City in the World! And I can show you my Home on the picture of Upper West Side and Central Park view. But…usually only birds can see Manhattan from this point of you. The real, human, everyday New York is on the level of it’s streets, parks and avenues. And it’s amazing, uncomparable and beautiful.
When you are here – you are in the center of our World.
All the rest – around…
New York, New York… Our beloved Big Apple.

To Sorin (July 15) and Ebiz (July 15):
O guys, I’m so sorry for you! You have to see it live, or you can only regret of that all your life.
Ebiz, if you want only “to die” here , so… even that much better than do it in any other place in the world.
Sorin, it’s not “only tall buildings”! It’s not “ONE park”(?) There are 80 parks in Manhattan only! And Central Park is one of the World’s Miracles, the Real Nature in the heart of the greatest City! There are nowhere something like that. And…when you live here you almost don’t see these “only tall” buildings. You are just happy, saying “Thank G-d, you let me to live here…”
So…all you said is just ignorance and envy, nothing more.

¡Amazing!

I am still overwhelmed for having seeing the best photos of NYC ever. That’s an amazing collection of photographs. I have shared with lots of friends in Brazil who loves NY. I love NY any time of the year for both business and fun. I just loved to all places I have been from different perspective. Congratulations!!

Fantastic photos, the detail is amazing and they are of the most beautiful city in the world.

wooow! It’s really awesome!!!

Brings back wonderful memories. Would take months to really get to know NYC. Was very accepted even with southern accent. More so than in Utah.

Amazing. Such a wonderful city. In my opinion there isn’t any other city in the world that can be compared to NYC.

An amazing collection of photos from the greatest city on earth. I’ve been to the other great cities of the world, but for food, culture, friendliness, museums, libraries, etc…New York City tops them all. Thank you for so many beautiful photographs.

Gracias a personas como vosotros se pueden admirar esas impresionantes vistas.

Impresionantes. Este reportaje es un lujo.

“Cyelo sonto ” que agobio…………………

Thank you so much for these phtos. I only missed one with Flatiron building.

From so far away (Australia), NYC has always been a dream destination! WILL get there soon.

I cant help admiring these pictures. New York is just an amazing city!

“It has only buildings, huge buildings, one park and some bridges.”

NYC has 1 park?

There are 4 parks larger than Central Park in NYC… such ignorance spouted with such confidence :/

Great images of a great city. Thank you!

A very good collection of photos. I feel like I’ve just been in NYC again, all buildings look so familiar!

Those pictures were great. However, if you really want to see New York City (all of its boroughs) as it is, you need to do it at street level. You need to see all the varieties of lifestyles available, from the sidewalks with piss trails leading from bums, to everyday beach scenes showing the wonderful variety of people doing what they like most on a bright sun-shiny day. Complete with the sounds and smells of that event. You need to see the train rides throughout the city, as well as the street levels for the tourist and native gawkers. Its just too bad someone didn’t invent the ability to smell all the food varieties available to be placed into scratch and sniff mode, for all the German, Indian, Greek, Italian, etc. restaurants.
Ah, well the photos were great despite all the above.
Thanks for the memories…it sure does a person good to see how NYC has progressed in the 40 years since I last enjoyed the scenery.

Absolutely marvelous collection of shots. I’ve usually seen NYC from high altitude enroute somewhere else and have always marveled at the city whether day or night. Thanks for some close-ups most would probably never experience from a plane or taxi.

The photographs brough tears to my eyes….I was only a visitor in this city, but love it like I grew up there…Bury me in Times Square, and I will be forever happy.

Spectacularly beautiful pictures – hats off to Daniel Acker!

What an amazing array of wonderful memories for anyone who knows and loves this city as I do and the greatest advertisement for anyone who does not.

Thank you.

I left Queens in 1976 to live in Utah. This is where my wife is from. I worked on Wall Street for 5 years.
Have been back “home” numerous times to see family.
Will be returning on Saturday 7/31 with Wife, daughter, son-in-law and 4 of our 8 grandkids.
Can’t wait to have them take in all the “Magic” of NY.
Thanks for posting these pictures.

I was born and raised on Long Island and I still haven’t seen ALL of NY–although I have been to NYC many many times–Nice pics!

Absolutely amazing – Been 6 times and NEED to live there one day! I left my heart somewhere in the upper west side and need to find it again!
xx

These photos are awesome and remind me why NYC is such a fantastic place to live. Thanks!

Awesome pictures!
I’ve never been to NY but it’s like a dream for me… Maybe I’m still to afraid of the 8 hours flight :) But it’s something i gotta do once in my lifetime!
New Yooork New Yooork… ;)

A huge collection of the most amazing and beautiful pictures of NYC. I spent some great time there long time ago and those pictures made me miss the city and it’s people.

Thanks for the pictures and the memories!

Before 911, I used to fly to NY in my private plane and fly low over the Hudson below the top of the trade centers and make a circle over the Statue and Ellis and fly over the Verazzano and land in Teterboro. It always impressed my guests. I don,t think they would let you do that now. Too bad.

Photos are dope but would never want to live there. Overrated

Fantastic pictures made by talented photographers. I’d like to know what equipment they used (camera, lenses) to make these.

I am blessed to live in this paradise. I have 2 friends coming up from Virginia this week and i can’t wait to show them the city that i love. i never take it for granted. thanks for the post denver post. i came here from neatorama.com, the best site on the web!.

Wow, great bird’s eye over NYC!

I guess they’re nice pictures if you like the city. Personally, I think NY-and any other city- is dirty, ugly, and way over-rated. Not to mention over-priced. Thanks, but I’ll take country living any day.

How was permission granted to shoot these remarkable images?

Fabulous, made me homesick- am from the Catskills, near Cooperstown–been to NYC many times–lived in 6 states, & 2 continents-there’s NO place like it. Sinatra said it all–New York, New York!!!

Having been to a majority of the “great” cities of the world, nothing can compare to NYC, not merely Manhattan Island (I lived there for 20 years), but the whole vibrant mass of the unbound ethnicity of the City – but nevertheless all Americans. I back to the City from the southwest once or twice per year and its like getting a “fix” on Americana – the City has it all. By the way on Photo 45 from top to bottom are (1) the NYC municipal building [1 Centre Street]; (2) the United States Court of Appeals (2nd Circuit)[40 Centre Street]; (3) to the left the United States District Court; (4) the six sided building is the NY County Supreme Courthouse [60 Centre Street].

Wonder what would happen if everyone would flush their toilets at the same time?

I Grew up on Staten Island and would like to see it from above also. These pictures brought back memories of riding the ferry every day, working on Wall street,seeing Broadway shows, watching events at Madison Square Garden and catching trains from Grand Central Station. I still visit my East Coast sister and brothers every chance I get. Seeing “New York from Above” is so good, and seeing Central Park reminded me of when my sister took me for the carriage ride. She brought lunch and we spoke about “the old times”. I’ll save this sight as a bookmark and visit it often. Thank you.

no words…..par excellent.

and it would be even more glorious if all of that was forest again… ashame

Fantastic pictures!

OMG the memories of living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan!
I love it, love it, love it! I wish they showed the names of the cemeteries in Queens where my family is buried.

Thank you, thank you.

Great pics, I live in NC but I was born and raised in upstate N.Y. (Ulster county). I spent most of my youth involved in Drum corps and spent many a summer day marching down the streets of New York city. As an adult I visited the city every several times a year. It’s been five years since I was there and oh how I miss it. It’s still the greatest city in the world.

WOW WOW from Toronto canada ” I LOVE NEW YORK ” awsome pictures.//

Born in Brooklyn, grew up in the Bronx, been living in western NY state for 11 years, and still love seeing pics of home. Since a lot of my family still lives there, I do get down several times a year, and these are terrific shots.

Note to katie: You’re a Luddite. No, it wouldn’t be better if it were all forest again. This is why the Adirondacks and Catskills are still here for our enjoyment.

New Yorker living in Cape Town, South Africa. What amazing pictures. Makes me very homesick. The diversity of the infrastructure and architecture are reflective of the diversity amongst the people who buzz along its colorful streets. What an amazing view ! I heart NY. x

Fantastic!! some really good shots

GM posts $1.33 billion profit. It’s easy to turn a profit when the federal government via taxpayer dollars is your backdrop. Now how about all of us that pay taxes get a cut of these profits? I know the government, union, and GM trolls will say we will get our money back when the company goes public, but that’s a lie.

I miss home, BUT, I get angry EVERY time I see a picture of our skyline without the twin towers. F- ALL Terrorists!!

I am French,
shame on who is ready to accept a 13 stories high mosq over this beauty .

What amazing and great pictures. Fantastic.!!!

Awesome shots but I didn’t see St Patricks cathedral :(

Great pictures, makes me want to pack up and go.

You’ve (almost) completely forgotten about the other 4 boroughs of NYC. There are zero photos of Brooklyn and too many of the Citigroup building. This should be titled “Midtown Manhattan from Above.”

I have to tell you that these photos have brought tears of beauty and sadness to my eyes. I have never experienced NYC but I hope to some day. I am a small town girl from northern California and when I see photos such as these it just blows me away to see the beauty that stands in all areas of the United States. Thank for sharing those aerial photos. I especially like the first photo Of Manhattan, the beautiful Statue of Liberty and the photos taken at night time the lights just gave me an aw ha moment.

Having been to many of the big cities of the world,i can truly say nothing can compare to NYC!!! There is nothing like the energy and beauty of the city of Manhattan.I lived there for 43 years. The city is an open book of personal histories,human suffering and achievements.

A bit daunting from a man who lives on Whidbey Island in Washington State, a very rural place with a slow and peaceful pace. I like it that way.

Nice shots.

Respect everyone’s right and desire to live where they want but I am clearly not a city person. When I stood in times square during a shopping trip I marveled at the spectacle while at the same time wanting to quickly go for a walk in the deep woods somewhere.

Different folks…..

c superb New York is. j vacancy twice has deja has New York. j love USAs and Canada

having taken joe hess to the heavyweight karate championship to madison square garden in the late 70′s, brought back so many good memories of nyc. the greatest city in the world.

Amazing photographs!! Thank you for the tour.

Living in wide open spaces, I can’t imagine what it would be like to live or work in a place where the only time you can see the sky is when you look straight up. No moon, no stars, no eclipses. Concrete jungle is an understatement.

As for the air… How can people breathe there?

nice pictures, but if you seen one city, you seen them all. i stay away from em.

nice pictures but if you seen one city, you seen em all. i stay away from the rat infested, crime breeding places.

C’est la 1e fois que je vois autant de belles photos de New-York… Bravo

I start crying when I see these pictures, because I want me so much to be there, but I can’t.

I’ve been to Manhattan a couple of times since 9/11/01. I’ve seen the obscene gash cut in its heart. I think it’s very significant that from most angles in these pictures, ground zero isn’t visible. It’s as if the rest of the city has wrapped itself around the wound. It’s dazzling and defiant! Kudos to the photographers for capturing such beauty.

I am retired now and have worked in this City for 38 years. I was fortunate enough to have seen many of these images live, from the upper floors of many of those buildings. Of all the cities of this world, I feel blessed to have been born and brought up here. There is no other city quite like it.

Bob B.

what wonderful photos,Iam a native New Yorker whois very familiar with Manhattan, Looking at these aerial views I can easily say that a mosque 2 blocks away would have no impact of any kind on the WTC site.You wouldn’t even know it was there
Thanks to the rabble rousers for making it an issue

Fabulous photos! I enjoyed seeing them so much, but, as someone else mentioned, a few too many of Citigroup, etc. Personally, I would have loved to have seen the old GE building (570 Lex) and St. Bartholomew’s as well as St. Patrick’s Cathedral. If you go back again, how about showing the WHOLE of Manhattan focusing in on its connections to the other boroughs and to New Jersey (George Washington Bridge)? Admittedly, the other boroughs themselves lack appeal for aerial photography but their connections to Manhattan would be fun to see especially the Bronx which is the only part of NYC on the mainland of the USA) .

IMAGENES MUY BELLAS, BONITO, GRANDES EDIFICIOS MUY BIEN COMERCIAL Y RESIDENCIAL, FELICITACIONES AL FOTOGRAFO Y PUBLICACION DE ESTAS IMAGENES. OK.

Lived in Manhattan for 5 years on E. 60th St. Worked on Madison Ave. Loved every second of it. Hated to leave.
Got to go back ofter, but lately only once in a while.
WOW! Fanatastic pics. Wish I were there right now.
I frequented the World Trade Center often. A close colleague of mine lost his life there on that horrible day from hell.
NOW A MOSQUE? What is wrong with this PICTURE?
Thank you so very much for the memories.
WONDERFUL JOB!

IT ALWAYS PLEASURE SEEN PICTURES OF MANHATTAN
IMISSED A LOT .
GOD BLESS AMERICA

THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS THE GREAT NEW YORK
THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS LOVIN LOVIN LOVIN IT :::

With such fabulous shots, I am very disappointed that at least one was not of Lincoln Center, the cultural center of NYC and perhaps the world.

Dor,

New York has never looked better. Of course, now there is something missing……The Twin Towers. Thanks for sharing.

im from NYC and that is the place to be. no where else is like it. nothing can compare.

Born in Manhattan in 1951, Beth David Hospital, Moved to Long Island with parents/sisters till I was 17. Grandparents lived on 72nd & West End Ave. since the ’20′s and I moved in with Granny (Grandpa died) to take care of her and advance my acting career. My sister moved in with us and is still living in their apt. under rent control. I moved to 3 other apts, all within a 5 block radius cause I love the upper West side, the parks both Central & Riverside park where I took photos of other actors while doing Godspell on B’Way @ Prominade theatre. I have been living in the Santa Cruz redwoods of CA so. of SF since 1978 when I made a major life shift. Traded tall buildings for tall trees and only miss the city when I want deli late @ nite, want to see a show like non-other on B’way, take a dance class in a room with a smell like non-other, see 1000′s of people just by taking a walk and seeing pics like this. Brings such warmth to my heart. I got views like this when I did the movie of Godspell and danced on the tops of many great tall buildings, including @ that time the yet to be finished World Trade Towers. More pics of the upper west side from Riverside park, please. 72nd subway is sooo famous, in lots of movies and merits a pic, don’t ya think? The cloisters, etc. thank you xxoo JJ

I was born in Jamaica Hospital, Queens, Dad in Brooklyn and Mom in Bari, Italy. I now live in Western NC. I’ve only been back four times. Once to go to the top of the WTC in 1982. Unbelieveable. I could actually look down on the ESB. Nothing like a Broadway Show.
There is only one NY

Yikes….makes me glad I live in Miami.
Too big, too much, too everything. No thanks.
Y’all can have NYC.

Impresionantes fotos. nunca he visto tal cantidad de edificios juntos y de que dimensionos . Cada cual mas alto

I know the subjects are inanimate, but these photos give them life.

Outstanding technical achievement, and an artistic triumph!

Many thanks!!

Was it THAT difficult to come up with a few synonyms for the dozens of times STAND was used in the captions (this building STANDS in this photograph)?! Jeez…

Fantastic….makes me homesick!!! Not sure how anyone could have negative things to say about these photos. I appreciate you taking them and sharing them. It’s many birdseye views of NYC and not ordinarily seen this way. Too bad no close up of Times Square at night and South Street Seaport. Thank you!!

Living in “Upstate” NY I have visitied the Big Apple several times in my life. Your “great” photos have let me know what I missed……Next time :)
Thans for sharing!

Fantasic pictures, but..why not all of New York City..from downtown to uptown, east side to west side..all of Manhatten.

Bueno NY es NY

Born in Brooklyn, raised in The Bronx. Now living overseas in Australia for the past several years. There’s only one New York, and I’ll always have it close to my heart. Great photos!

Sinceramente cuando estuve en New York hace unos 20 anos, la vi bonita y grande, pero la verdad desde el aire se ve mas grande y mas bonita. NO ES EN VANO QUE LE DICEN “LA CAPITAL DEL MUNDO” Julio

Merci! Your pictures are amazing; Manhattan is immense and alive!

OMG!! What awesome pics!! Living in KS – everything is soooo flat! I visited NYC in Sept 2008.. fell in love! The city gets the blood flowing through my veins… seeing these pics makes me miss the city soooo much!!

all beautiful

great stuff – great city; as a Bronx guy (also lived in
Whitestone Queens)I am a bit disappointed not to see the rest of the city. after all, New York has five boroughs…
the aerial views do have an awe inspiring effect regardless of one’s attitude towards the big apple

GREAT Photos. Unbelievable what can be done on such a small slice of land.

Nothing like NYC in the world, that’s for sure. Whatever you need, we’ve got it…

It’s a great place. :)

What a wonderful city. There is not one city in the world can compare, it’s alive, it’s exciting, it’s magnifique
IT’S NEW YORK!!!
Once you visit, a piece remains.

I love NY! I don’t live there anymore but visit everytime I can.

Somehow, I see a crooked city that has wreaked financial havoc around the world. They seem to be making a living on other people’s money.

most gangsta city to ever rise!

beautiful pictures. the best i’ve ever seen. there was a common thread for me, the financial center and the corporations are alive and well in nyc. goldman sachs recently completed their new building, surrounded by the american express building and other financial buildings, and in the background, barely visable is ground zero. it is more significant now that i look at that site from this perspective. great photos of peter cooper village. i could see the building i lived in for 36 years. thank you for sharing these with us.

NEW YORK CITY. THE ONE AND ONLY.
ALWAYS WITH CAPITAL LETTERS

[...] via denverpost [...]

new york….as unique as ever…

Its sad to see people asking why this or that wasn’t photographed?? If you don’t like the photos or think something is missing take your own **** photos. I am glad they are posted and the photographer has chosen to share them. People always seem to have something negative to say sitting behind there computers in the comfort of their own home. And for the posters who said parts of Manhattan are missing, rent a helicopter for a day, take photos of the buildings etc that have been left out, use your own money, post them, and then let us critique your work??? Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it.

I was born and raised in New York City. I am a retired member of the NYC Transit Police Department. I have seen this city from many angles. However, the aerial views are outstanding and beautiful and present an entirely different perspective. Thanks for the beautiful photos.

FANTASTIC PHOTOS.. Much appreciated.. Thank you

I miss NYC and you.

3rd generation New Yorker. No matter where I live, I always have to return to my city. I’m a New Yorker through and through. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

Oh my God! The photos are very beautiful!!!!

Amazing city.

I was born and raised in the Bronx. NY will always be my home. My children were born there. My son lives there now and just loves it too. I have lived in Tulsa, Ok for over 40 years and NYC still calls to me. This is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is truly “the city that never sleeps”. Thank you for the gorgeous pictures. It is fun trying to pinpoint places that I remember.

Born and raised in NY ….Brooklyn to be exact. Now living in Colombia SA. I miss NYC too and try to make it back every summer. Great photos …..much appreciated.

[...] under social studies “New York City from Above” is the title of a series of pretty neat photos from The Denver [...]

Truly amazing work. The best pictures of one of the greatest cities in the world. Had to wipe a tear out of my eye.

This is my HOME:-)

Born there. Raised there and proud to be from there.
I have lived in many cities New Orleans Oklahoma City Austin Texas and Houston Texas and now Miami.
I think about the City all the time and visit from time to time.
I have visited lots of great cities they are wonderful but New York City is the Capital of the world

Awesome view from above….I’ve only seen it from ground level looking up at the tall buildings…a truly beautiful city…

I love my second home town–New York ever!!

Graduated from Fordham University June 1959.Born on Governors Island, raised in upper Manhattan. I have lived all over the US from VA,NJ, NC, PA, MA, CA and now AZ. The photos of lowerand midtown are fantastic. Missing were the neighborhoods. Would have appreciated some of the GW bridge, cloisters and Inwood Hill park.Inwood Hill Park is larger than Central Park. Electric and crazy city. Not unlike a bad habit. Once you leave you are relieved but still long for the nostalgia of living in that place.

Born in Queens, lived on 78th and East River in early 60s. I will never forget the magic of NYC, being young and living the life. Live on West Coast now, but these photos make me want to go visit and soak it all in again. Thank you for the these memories.

Theses pictures are beautifull and reflexs on new yorkers , got family there and really miss them and new york..

No wonder it’s called the center of the world. Even only having been there a handful of times I’m homesick for the deli’s. Going out now to buy a slab of corned beef and French bread.

That’s MY HOMETOWN been away too long. Thanks so much for the memories. You either love us, or hate us, but are what we are. “Cliff Dwellers” Thank you so v er much.

Absolutely spectacular!

I was born,raised and educated in NYC and I rnjoyed it all (1940-1968) but would not want to live there. Too many people and an insane pace of life.

As a resident of this great city, I found the photos both beautiful and well framed. The focus of the essay was from midtown to lower Manhattan. It did feature two shots of the other boroughs, Queens (the Long Island Expressway) and the Bronx (Yankee Stadium at night). New York is a diverse and vibrant city and not limited to large buildings and stadiums. Images of upper Manhattan which include very photographic structures such as the George Washington bridge, the region of Hells Gate (where the RFK bridge units the Bronx, Queens and Manhattan) and our shore lines (i.e. the Rockaways, City Island) are just some examples.

There are many attractions for visitors to New York City to see and plenty of things to do in New York City. From famous buildings and landmarks to parks and festivals. To be honest i like it all and at the same time I like Metropolitan Museum of Art the most

I loved the pictures, and one day I hope to visit NYC. I am Very Happy that I live in Oregon and that I have my Mt. Hood to look at, my trees and all the green areas and of course the coast.

Fabulous pics of the city that never sleeps. Great view of the apartment buiding on 21st across the street from the VA Hospital. Friends and family live there. A great place to go for a visit. Love it, and can’t wait to go back

I was born in the Bronx almost 50 years ago. I love “the city” and I am blown away by the photos! Thanks to David, Mario, and Saul who took such wonderful shots at viewpoints that are breathtaking! And thanks to pblog for posting. Beautiful!

Born Beth Israel Hospital, LES, 1961. Left when I was 6. Have lived back there on and off. Now in Boston. Whenever I go back (or “home”) I feel instantly a part of the place, like I never left. These pictures explain why: energy. Pure urban energy like nowhere else on the planet that I’ve been to.

Very lovely pictures, but I view them as someone who goes into NY regularly looking at a tourist’s album. The part of New York that enderes itself to me is where I have memories of things rather than what things look like from far away (I’m a lifelong Mets fan and find it normal though sad that there is no picture of rotten old Shea Stadium where I saw my first major league game and where I first took my boys). Very few of your pictures have people in them and it is truly the people that make (in both senses of the word) New York.

As a long-time New Yorker (Manhattanite) I guess it’s appropriate to be reviewing pictures of the city here (even sites I’m familiar with), particularly – given here on the 9th Anniversary of the WTC Disaster – you never know what’s going to be here today or gone tomorrow. Speaking of “here today, gone tomorrow, my favorite pic” is of the old Yankee Stadium from 1923…the one that was torn down last year.

Fantastic pics!!! (Almost as good as my own from trip to
NY in March-2010 ;-)

Even we have retired in California, we are always in New York State of Mind. The Big Apple and the Hudson Valley, truly one of a kind.

I lived in NYC from 1978 to 1984 on 51st & 1st on Beekman Hill and also on CPW and 72nd Street. I worked downtown in the financial district. You photos are absolutely amazing! They bring back wonderful memories. I could see my apartment buildings, office building, and my old neighborhood. Thank you!

What a wonderful selection of amazing photographs from the most incredible city in this world, I moved to NYC as a young immigrant, worked there, got married there and raised our family there before returning to live in Ireland, still love to visit this great city every chance we get, which is quite often.
Love all New Yorkers they are an amazing people, God Bless them all

Breathtaking, like the city itself. I’m glad I’ll be heading there soon or I’d be very sad!

Thank you for the wonderful photographs. For those who wonder which ones show the world Trade Center site, they are photos 48, 51 and 56. The best is photo 48, where the construction cranes can be clearly seen behind the World Financial Center.

Born and raised in lower Manhattan. The housing project we lived in until we moved to Bellport, L.I. is still visible just to the north of the Brooklyn Bridge. No matter how often we go back the city continues to evolve. There is always something new and exciting.

Born in Brooklyn in 1923, Completed H.S in Manhattan, on 3rd Avenue and E 63rd st. Police officer in 1950 after 8 yrs USMC loved the sights of NYC from day one, no other city as beautiful as NYC , gripers are always making some untoward remarks ..Quit it please, get a life .!

This brings back many wonderful memories. I once lived across the street from the arch in the Village. Now live in North Carolina and do not miss NY anymore. Too big for me. This city is for the young.

The capital of the world has never been better photographed, a wonderful place to be and to visit, a city I love and wish I could go back to much more often. Excellent photos.

Lived in New York from september 1999 to february 2000 . New year’s Eve in Times Square, simply gorgeous !!!!! I miss so much the Twin Towers and the faboulous restaurant at 106 floor ” Windows on the world ” . I hope to be back in NY for Christmas 2010 . Pictures are really fantastic !!!

Pictures are beautiful! Seeing them just after 9/11/2010 does make me a little nervous though! I wonder if we’ll ever feel safe again!

AMAZING photos of NYC… Photographer Daniel Acker, your works are great!Thank you very much!

nice shots… my family set and topped out most of these….four generations of IRONWORKERS

GREAT PHOTO’S GREW UP IN FLUSHING QUEENS RIGHT BY THAT CEMETERY. BORN IN FRESH MEADOWS. I HAD A DYSFUNCTIONAL HOME LIFE BUT THE CITY SAVED ME I COULD GO ANYWHERE AND SO MUCH TO DO. I LEFT SOME 45 YEARS AGO BACK ONCE. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND LOVE THE WARM WEATHER. I WILL COME BACK AND VISIT. YOUR PICTURE BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES WHEN I WENT ALL OVER THE CITY. THE CULTURE AND ART WERE ENDLESS. I HAD SOME HAPPY TIMES, YOUR PICTURES BROUGHT THEM BACK. THESE DAYS ARE HARD NOW DEALING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, NEW YORK NEW YOUR GAVE ME SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT.

THANKS FOR THE MEMEORY

MICHAEL

I was born and raied in The Bronx and loved looking at these wonderful pictures. All I was able to say to myself was “WOW”.

There is so much beauty to the buildings at the tops which one rarely gets to see. These pictures are gems and hopefully will be available to everyone to enjoy the wonders of New York way above the street.

Fantastic pictures of a beautiful city,great place to live

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC PICTURES, NO PLACE CAN COMPARE TO N.Y. LOVE IT.THANK YOU

I too was born and raised in New York. There is only one New York and I am proud to be a New Yorker. The airal photos where spectacular. Thanks for sharing. I will be certain to save them.

Little did I know the visits I made to the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, at the Restaurant up top, another couple and me, both childless then, would one day both parent, see these towers crash down, and now each of us is widowed. I remember when the Towers were first built. Empire State Bldg. was then the tallest until then, and now again! So many memories gone with our existences whose memories fade long before our bodies deteriorate and die. Nothing else compares to NYC whether you love it or hate it. I will hope to have pix always to share with generations to come, long after I’m gone forever….
Wendy

there is know place lke the big apple–its the place where i grew up and left but my heart remains there–its the only city where a saloon is a bar –i know that you that i–cc

Fantastic! Wonderful eye candy! Born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens, live on the west coast now & miss NYC often: the architecture, the food, the history. I tell the hubby if we win the lottery we will become bi-coastal, keeping a fantastic apartment in the neighborhood where I lived the first two years of my life: Brooklyn Heights! Took him there 5 years ago and he liked it too.

What is striking is how many of these buildings are downright ordinary or even ugly. Take away the Empire State, Chrysler and a few other buildings, and you’re left with thousands of really nondescript structures. Then the cityscape looks like Sao Paulo or a dozen other overgrown megalopolises. I don’t know if we’ll ever recover from the architecture inflicted on us in the last half of the 20th century.

Congratulations for the photo tour in tribute the integrity of early Dutch Traders whose business practices made their little Island of Manhattan the center of New Amsterdam and now The Little Island at the Center of the World. Frank

Amazing photos, thanks a million for sharing. I was born in the Bronx but moved away many yrs ago. I visit often but not enough for me. I am a New Yorker and although I moved away my heart is there and always will be. There is no place that beats this city, the arts, culture, food, history, architecture, the fun there is just so much to name it all. Some day I will be back for good or if I just win the lottery or come into alot of money I will have a place there for the summers or any other time I want to fly in. Thanks again for sharing… Go Yankees!!

Connie, KS

I live in NY and I’m stunned! Thanks

born in bklyn,,grew up in flushing,,,grandparents had a farm in staten island,,,went to college in the bronx and lived in manhattan for over 30 years on the west side….now retired to florida….thanks for the breathtaking photos of the worlds greatest city you brought back wonderful memories…even saw the high school i taught in for 25 years…..WOW

cant believe iv never been to n.y. hope to remedy dat in my lifetime..wow..cork city in the emerald isle..home of the 2010 all-ireland football champions…corcaigh abu..

THANK FOR THIS SIDE I LOVE IT…

Concrete canyons a far cry from my local redrock Utah canyons. Would hate to be an endangered species there, dependant on some remnant of the natural world that ultimately sustains us all, even those in skyscrapers who need food, clean water, uncontaminated air, etc. Seems like a very fragile and vulnerable magic kingdom.

Wow,these are amazing slides, great job!

Being a Manhattan resident, I know the dates of many of the pictures are incorrect. Between building’s be built, or certain antenna arrays, there are a bunch of inaccuracies. Not to mention some of the shots say July, but the foliage (and rooftops) look more winter like.

Otherwise, great group of shots!

ONE OF OUR GREAT AMERICAN CITIES,POPULATED BY GREAT AMERICANS.

This really is incredible, fantastic pictures, im dying to go to New York!!

Born in Harlem, raised in NJ and back to The Bronx for College. How beautiful is my city. Live in Florida now, but will be visiting NYC this week.

Great pictures. I use to live in New York, and these pictures make me miss it.

Such a great collection of photo’s.. Having been to the big apple on my route to Europe and the war, 1945, and again on my way home in 1948, never saw the building as I am seening inthese photos. Took a tour with ladies from Trieste Italy there in 2006, and we saw a lot of the city, but again these are the best I have ever seen of the makings of a city.

I grew up on a farm in Ohio & went to New York City in the 60′s. I lived there for 5 1/2 years and truly loved my time there. Thanks for the pictues, I loved every one of them. I was back to visit in 1975 & again in 2008. My favorite city.

I was born in Manhattan in New York Hospital and spent most of my life traveling those street of the “Big Apple” either as a motorcycle courier, truck driver and taxi cab driver. I must have driven a million miles up and down that small island. Great photos bring great memories. Now I too am retired in Florida. I love New York but I don’t know if I will ever go back there.

I was born on Staten Island and travel to Manhattan from time to time and my thoughts are how in the world does a city like this function as you see the people and traffic and the beautiful building, I find it amazing.

Amazing!!!
I ? NYC!!!
I ? Manhattan…
I ? the Brooklyn Bridge…
XOXO.
From Argentina :)

Born in Long Island City in 1936,lived at 149 Broome St. At age 4 1/2 we moved to New Jersey but close enough to NYC to spend a lot of time there. Thanks for the memories.

Gorgeous.

I haven’t been to NY for many years, but it amazes me that all those buildings that exist on that tiny island, that the island doesn’t sink!! Loved ALL the pics!

Lived in New York City and Flushing in the fourties. Had no kids yet, lived in small apartment,made a lot of friends and had a ball!

I love NYC. A great city, big abd beautiful; full of life
and ebergy 24/7. I was stationed at McGuire AFB, NJ and I spent many wonderful and delightful weekends in NYC.Still go back occasionally from Phoenix. Love it.
I am retired USAF, have flown the world. There is nothing else like NYC and these aerial photos are fascinating!
Thanks, Lee

I’m Hungarian, and I always wanted to see NY but when I saw this pictures this feelings are strongers :)

[...] Captured: New York City from Above by Daniel Acker/Bloomberg [...]

I almost got a headache trying to figure which direction I was looking. Also I couldn’t get the whole picture onto my screen to see the whole picture with the captions.I know they were taken from the air; I didn’t have to keep being reminded.because of all that, I couldn’t send it on to my non Eastern friends. : (

I grew up in Queens but some of my family came from Red Hook section and then to Bensonhurst area of Brooklyn. Although I miss the “City” my home is still where I was raised.
I am a transplant in another state, my heart still belongs to Manhattan and all the memories that came with that city.

From Working on Wall Street along with my friends of the Little black church on Cortland Street. We used to have lunch with the pilgrims graves, at Trinity Church!

I miss Greenwich Village, where I used to strum my guitar along with Mary Travis when she was then no so famous.

I miss the Mulberry Street where all the Good Italian Food comes from and the Museum of Natural History. The best no place on earth can ever take the place of NEW YORK CITY, no wheres not even Las Vegas. This is the place where you can get a Knish and a Sabretts Hot dog at 3 am… and no one says “Do you have to be home?” I love Manhattan, Alot of great memories there… I miss my old boyfriend Joe Hall… where ever you are my electrical friend.. he will always have a special place in my heart… My Hippie Friend.
I will also miss Upstate NY where the Woodstock too place when I was 13 I went to it. I saw things that would make NY turn Green… with envy.. but overall, NY IS still number one with me.

I left my heart in Greenwich Village …. along with my older friends Love you Manhattan!

Wow…what beautiful sights. And places we have all heard about but not seen in such a way..Goldman Sacks, Financial district, Chrysler Bldg, stadium and bridges. What a city for all of United States to be proud of.

so lovely, i cant wait to go back to ny!

Beautiful aerial photography. No need to see the city.

New York City, I was born upstate and got to see NYC once in my life during my high school senior class trip in 1960. This is a great compilation of photos of a place that’s definitely a nice place to visit, but in my case I never thought I could live there. Beautiful pics, done very well.

Gorgeous, but mainly lower Manhattan.
How about the George Washington Bridge,
The Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park,The Bronx,
etc. next time?

Wonderful pix, but you couldn’t get me to live anywhere near Greater NYC for all the proverbial tea in China. I have been to NYC on a number of occasions (as a musician, as a driver and as a tourist). TOO MANY PEOPLE AND TOO MUCH CONCRETE–that’s one of the many reasons why New Yorkers seem crazy to much of the rest of the country. But I did attend a nice concert one time when I was there (Tower of Power). But so many headaches–I always felt like a rat in a cage whenever I had to visit NYC!

But these ARE great photos!

I was an Estimator, then Project Manager for one of NY’s Glass & Glazing contractors during the early 70s through the mid-late 70s. My geographical responsibility was Manhattan (NYC). I had a hand in many of these buildings, including the WTC.

Brings back memories.

These pics are SPECTACULAR.

Thanks for the memories!

i’ve lived here all my life. it’s a brilliant place to live. but, jaysis, it’ll wear you out.

Thank you very much for these fantastic pictures!

This was wonderful… NYC sure is the most beautiful city in the country if not the world.

I’m taken back to the mid ’60′s when I lived on 53rd between 5th and 6th Aves. Bob Dylan, Odetta, Phil Ochs, Bobby Potter and many other of those who went on to become famous and not so famous played the little clubs and coffee houses for our entertainment.. and free too.

Manhattan is a magical place and I am so grateful that you shared these photos with us.

Well done!

what fantastic pictures!! im going to new york in two days and cannot wait.its been six years since i was last there and am so excited..your pictures have just intensified the excitement :)

I enjoyed seeing those beautiful pictures.. It was just breathtaking. Thank you for sharing them to all of us.
I grew up in N.Y. lived there till I was 51 we moved to Florida and love it here.. I do miss N.Y.C. go to visit as often as I can…There is no place like N.Y. if you have not been there try to see it once. You will love it.
Someone said I left my heart in san franciso. Well I left my friends in N.Y. but still keep in touch.

AFTER RETIRING FROM THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NY/NJ IN ’76, MOVED TO NEW MEXICO AND LOST 37 FELLOW POLICE OFFICERS ON 9/11. THESE PHOTOS BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. THANKS.

As A True Born New Yorker I Am Very Proud To Say Thank You For The Greatest Sky Photo’s I Have Ever Seen Of Today’s New York City.

LENNY ZANELLO SR. ON FACE BOOK SAYS “I LOVE NEW YORK ” SING ME THE SONG FRANK……

I have never been to New York !!I am 80 years old now and I am petrified at the gigantic size of this great city ! My Dad was born in Savannah, New York in 1878. I will just be content in watching these amazing photographs and
I pray God will keep every good person in New York.
GOD BLESS AMERICA !!

From one aspect it shows man’s incredible abilities and art. But from another, it demonstrates the folly of overpopulation, of his inability to see his weaknesses, that this sort of thing is unsustainable, that band-aid solutions are not going to work in the long run.

What wonderful memories. All the nicest buildings and what great views. It was almost as though I was flying around that magnificent Island! Trips to Manhattan were always special as I was growing up …who can forget Horn and Hardart, Chock full Of Nuts, Rockerfella Ceter Chirstmas Tree, the Museums and Raido City Music Hall? I grew up in Queens, moved to Staten Island and now live in Fairport, a suburb of Rochester, NY. I still call NYC home and look forward to our visits to family and friends.

My hat is off to Daniel Acker. What beautiful photography, so clear and sharp! Thank you for sharing New York City with us. I too was looking for reference points. Is Grand Central Station still there? Fifty-five years ago I saw Manhattan bathed in sun light as the ship “Berlin”, that brought me over the ocean and the wide horizons from Germany, went passed the Statue of Liberty, leaving us all awe-inspired. “Not so fast, please,” I told the taxi driver who took me from the pier (don’t remember which number)to Grand Central Station. I wanted to see all the skyscrapers and really had to twist my head to look upward. So many memories… As Frank Sinatra sang so long ago: “New York, New York – it’s a wonderful town…”

New York is the only city that has it’s finger on the pulse of humanity. I still love New York.

The central park-photos are amazing!
And some pictures are liek 3D…
Great work!

This so breath taking…I love New York…thank you for sharing it.

I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!!
…And I Thank GOD for allowing me to see such Man-Made Greatness!!……And To Think,,,,That THIS IS NOTHING…..If We Compare it to GOD’S CREATION!!
AMAZING!

Parabens, lindas fotos!!! amo NEW YORK….deu pra matar as saudades!!!!

congratulations…..I LOVE NEW YORK…beautifull!!!

How refreshing!

I just love(d) New York City! It such a beautiful and wonderfull city. I’ve been in NY in July 2010 and will be back in september 2011!
Miss it soooo much!!!!
Thanks to that photographers! It is really a wonderful work you did guys! Thank you for these shoots!

I grew up in the NYC area and almost 60 I could never leave. I’ve watched it grow. It has always been invigorating to me, but in the last 20 years, it has changed from being dangerous, gritty and intimidating to inspiring, beautiful, exciting and welcoming. I’m in the City almost every day, but I still feel a sense of awe looking at these beautifully taken and exquisitely displayed photos. Thanks Denver! Come and visit!

Great work, enjoyed the pictures,
love New York,
Thank you!

I saw New York city only from the air. It’s amazing. I’ll like to see it on the earth.

Great photography. I feel Claustrophobic here. A good place to visit but I prefer the “wide-open” spaces of Beautiful Colorado & the Western states.

Nice but scary to think that one dirty bomb would
make all that go away .. pfffft!

Interesting that none of the historic churches we captured.

NYC is my love.

What about the rest of Manhattan, above 110th Street?

This is amazing!

Perhaps New York will be the only place on Cool Planet which looks so graceful with all its permanent structures that mercilessly pierce, stab and scrape the sky, but there’s a point to grouch! – however impressive it may look, the ratio of buildings to trees is appalling! Lucky that New-Yokers have ample air-conditioning; otherwise all the concrete that absorbs heat of the day and exudes it in the night may turn it into a veritable slow-cooking oven, as it normally happens in the parts of the world where people are les fortunate.

Anyway, thanks for showing your beautiful city from a birds point of view!

I love this city!!!
Hope to come back soon…

Great photography,I feel like a new yorker in a plane, but, I am from Bucharest-Romania-Europe

New York was a great home for 8 years, still just as beautiful and oh so many nice, friendly people. The food, I won’t go there! Best in the world. Thank you for the memories.

Stunning pictures which have encouraged me to find more indentification of buildings so that I can recognize more when I’m flying over..even visitying..wow. I am glad that carbon eating, oxygen emitting trees and other foliage are not too far away.

Great pictures but sad having been born in Manhatten and lived on Mott Street opposite St Patrick Church (between Mott and Mulberry Streets).
The landscape has changed since and the residential houses were small aqnd can not be seen. It still brings fond memories. Thank You for the latest view. Jim

Amazing shots. Working in NY you never see the city this way.
Lloyd Wood Devix Sii

These images tell a story of a proud city. I can see the public housing projects I grew up in and the corporate buildings where I once worked as an ad agency creative. The city was like a living novel full of stories. Glad to be part of that novel. Great images. Thanks for the view.

These are superb photographs of a great city. Enjoyed watching all the major points of interest even though I have seen them at close proximity while visiting New York.

I grew up in Queens,and had worked in Manhattan years ago. These were such great pictures. I saw where my mom and dad use to work. I have moved to the country since.
When I worked in the city, I had gotten used to all those people and buildings in one area, but now it seems
so crowded. I’m glad that the people in the city have Central Park to help give them clean oxygen, considering all the traffic polluntants in the air every day. If Manhattan wasn’t built on rock, it couldn’t hold all those skyscrapers…so many different shapes of buildings.

Thank you for letting me take the aerial tour, right here in my home. I enjoyed it.

Thanks to photographer and rail enthusiast, Ken Borg of Dearborn Michigan who thought enough of me to send me these wonderful photos of my hometown. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Flatbush Section, I enjoyed many many days while growing up there. The photos are simply excellent and should be seen by everyone, whether you’re into photography or not. These are keepers along with sharing this with a few other friends who I know will enjoy these photos.

What can I say, it was love at first sight, and the affair still goes on… ILNY!

SUPER foto!congratulation.Felicia

WOW! I love it!

I have lived in NYC for most of my life, yet this is place is still beautiful. I love New York! May it live forever!

Ahhh, home! Beautiful photos of my life 15 yrs. ago. Native of Staten Island but moved out west for my job. I certainly miss is all…especially the culture, intellect and education. NOTHING compares to is out here except Yellowstone and Grand Teton N.P. Otherwise, the mainstream mindset is absurd. Thanks so much for bringing home back to me.

It was a pleasant surprise to see much of the work I performed in NYC over the past 43 years.

In picture 10 the lower building I had just completed the installation of 5 roof drains that were visible in the picture.

It felt great seeing my work captured on these amazing pictures.

Raised in the Williamsburgh section of Brooklyn, living in an apartment house looking west at the skyline of New York City, resting my chin on the window sill, watching with awe, the Hindenburgh airship over New York on its way to New Jersey…What memorys these pictures bring.

The best of the best New York I love this City and my drean is to live there for the rest of my life.

gotta love NYC its the place
love the firermen and policemen and the NY people
love from Tel Aviv

Great pictures of the great city.It’s breathtaking! I dream to visit New York someday…
Greetings from Moscow (Russia) :)

It’s amazing what man can do. This stunning-unique-marvelous city it’s one of few positive things that man can do, because we know that to this planet men are like cancer. All you have to do is to enjoy this. Take care y’all

All my father’s family are from Brooklyn. I grew up there when I was a kid. Now I live a beateful island in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar and close from Mauritius, but I still love New-York City too, and I always will. Thank you so much for those pictures.

Picture speaks for itself.

i am not a lover of new york, but i must admit the pictures are sensational

Denver has done New York proud! Great photos!

Mind Blowing Pictures of a city I worked in for 20 years. Who knew what a AMAZING city New York City is from the air. WOW! Mahalo from Maui in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Aloha

I grew up in Brooklyn, lived in Manhattan for 15 years, now reside in the fabulous Bronx. I never tire of the aerial view every time I fly over the city. I lived in the white building on the East River Drive just north of the Manhattan Bridge, on the river side looking at Brooklyn where I worked. My mother lives in the Southbridge Towers complex at the Manhattan side of the bridge. The photographs are fantastic. Thanks for posting them!

My first trip to NYC was in May of 1943. I was 16. It was a high school graduation gift from my rich big city uncle. I fell in love at first sight. l have visited from TX sometimes three times a year to see theatre and wrap myself around the city’s ttreasures. Not so often any more: I’m 83. Thanks for the glorious look from above. As I fly in, I still get a lovely thrill from looking out of the plane windo.,

N.Y. N.Y. is truely great.

Shanghai & Tel-Aviv

Fantastic photos! I live in Brooklyn, work in the city and am from Colorado. I saw my very first apartment building where I lived – just south of Styvesant Town! I put my mouse cursor on there and a rush of memories came back. Great job!

Great photos I wouldn’t want to live there, I be lost the time I get in there LOL like some one said that a bomb could take all that a way the buildings is too tall to live inh for me give me no more then 5 floors.

Commendations to all who put this piece together: The folks who thought it up, the editors, the publishers, and most of all, the photographers. Excellent job.

Formidable photography of the city of my love, where I have lived for almost half a century.

well I love mi city and N Y is to big and dirty,Idont live five hours in that place.

Interesting pictures.
I hardly recognized the city I grew up in.
Before WW-II, there were building regulations that required a certain amount of sunlight on the streets. Then the “skyscrapers” were tapered, far apart and had distinctive looks. Now, there are lots of ugly parallelopipeds crowded together. But the newer ones are showing some signs of individuality.

I woulld not like to move back to NYC again.

Look the pic. Lived there for over forty years. There is nothing like New York…I miss the Big Apple! Long live NYC!!

I AM DYING TO GO THERE
I WANNA BE A PART OF IT!! NEW YORK CITY <3

Nuala and Jacques say
What wonderful photographs of a wonderful city..longing to get back there and see things from a more down-to-earth view. Thank you for the trip

Hey look! There’s Newark! :)

Hi

I went to Manhattan and stayed at the Sheraton in Times Square within walking distance of MoMa, The Museum of Modern Art.I also went to the Guggenheim. No visit to New York City is complete until you see these venues. Th4e Russian Tea room is a great place to eat. The big glass bear aquarium as you enter the dining room is amazing! Sylvias is also a great place to eat.I get photos using Fugi disposable cameras, and I got a perfect shot of the statue of liberty.West Point is a side trip you might want to take and have brunch at the Thayer Hotel.You will need picture I.D.to get into the Point.Your aerial views of NYC are outstanding in every respect!

Regards

Have fun in the Big Apple!

1980 I flew my plane with my wife and two children to New york What a thrill to see the lady in the bay and the wonderful buildings. I have never felt so small and insignificant and awed. Like a wondrous dream.

Born in Brooklyn in 1944, grew up on Long Island, partied in NYC, moved away in 1966. These pictures are beautiful and bring back so many memories. Thank you so much.

NYC is my love.

Splendid!!!
NY remains the World Capital and the city of my heart. If I would make a Bucker List, visiting NY will be my first point in that list. Living in NY remains my dream. Untill than I live my orinary life in Bucharest, Romania.

Omg those pictures are awesome!

Great shots and looking at the vertical city with zillions of people working and living on top of each other sure makes me grateful I am not there. This is the best way to see NY City as sure can’t see much when you actually there, exept maybe on the Circle Cruise.

I want to travel to New York so much!!! =) It’s my dream.

What cool shots you made from the air !

It was my first trip to the Big Apple, and I especially liked the Guggenheim museum, and The Museum of Modern Art ! I went to MoMa on a Friday, and the line waiting to get in was about 2 city blocks long ! I have been a member of MoMa for 5 years,so I used my card and got right in ahead of everyone ! Go and see both museums. You will definitely not be disappointed !

My husband, John S. Simon talked about being a taxi cab driver for years. He lived in Manhattan for 14 years. I have never been to New York, Manhattan or New Jersey where he has been. Looking at this pictures gave me deeper respect for him. Wow…how he did it driving all those places. That is amazing.

I left it in 1971,body,but not my heart.

So beautiful from above and silent. Only the noise and street life are missing.

As a former New Yorker your Plog is great. Some pictures could be further clarified like #21 The Met Life building formerly the Pan Am Building built in 1961-62 over Grand Central Terminal. Northbound Park Avenue traffic goes around and through the building going north.exiting by 230 Park Avenue. #42 also has NY Borough Hall at the top, the Center Street Court House left with One Police Plaza top left near the Brooklyn Bridge approach ramps. A number of your lower Manhattan pictures should mention the circular structure near a ferry, which is the NYFD fire service, is a Civil War fort at Battery Park. Thanks.

its a great city, full of dreams and i wish to visit it many times as possible!

IT’S NO WONDER THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS JEALOUS AND WANT TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT A VIBRANT AND LIVING CITY NEW YORK, N.Y., U.S.OF A. IS TODAY.

NYC is the love of my life!

Nice pictures of NYC.

Beautiful!!! I wish to visit this breath-taking town some day :X

im from new york but live near denver now so this was just EPIC

September 11 2011. We must never forget. Build it taller.

Fantastic.

An interesting perspective on the grand old city.

It’s really amazing to see New York from a step back, or in this case, a step up! I’m a professional aerial photographer based in philadelphia and have a series of similar aerials of Philadelphia posted on my website. http://duncan-pearson.artistwebsites.com/index.html
I do most of my work for commercial real estate companies and I’m dying to do some work in New York City. I love flying around a new town and NYC would be the best! So many interesting buildings!

It’s wonderful, I wish to visit this county.

Yes, it is so beautiful, but never will it ever be the same as before 9-11. A large part of New York was taken away on that dreadful morning, as a part of our whole Country and every American!

Hang in there New York City and my GOD Bless!

one word. love.

I visited this great city on a company trip in 1983 in conjunction with the 100 year anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. The fireworks & celebration were awesome…GO YANKS!

What fantastic photographs of New York taken by very professional and artistic photographers. Although not a resident of New York, I have made many trips there in past years and love the city. The photos capture some of the excitement one feels when visiting New York. Fabulous!

Pretty coolo Pic’s

Unforgetable New York!!!

In 1965 I spent my honeymoon in New York at the World’s Fair….how it has changed! What a City

I, love New York City it’s beautiful!!

Man those are some great shots of NYC

Born in Brooklyn in 1919, I am now retired in Fla. Great pictures were like a visit for me. Very few friends believe me when I say that the top of the Empire State Bldg was designed as a mooring mast for a Zeppelin. After trials it was discontinued. Any chancs of finding a picture of the attempts??

Been there once….this city is awsome….it’ll be in my heart for the rest of my life

one word. love.

Omg those pictures are awesome!

Thank you for those pictures

LouLou

These are truly beautiful photos.

New York City Ilove you sou machi

It’ my dreams,i love Nev York City,it’s a beautiful! :)

i went to N Y in 2000 and 2009 !
looking at those photos from Brittany in FRANCE, i only think of one thing : going back !!!

I JUST VISITED NY DURING CHRISTMAS IN 2010….OOOAAWW THATS LIFE , FUN, FASHIOS AND THE BEST SIGHTSEENG EVER…”EL MARINERO”

When will be the next time?…

What a zoo! You can keep it. Check out Vancouver, BC.

So cool, hated to leave it after 27 years !
still the greatest city in the WORLD

Had the pleasure of working on Wall Street litterally the 41 floor of One Wall for thirteen years. What a wonderful life. I walked to work from Greenwitch Village many times. The Lexington Express ran into One Wall so on weather days it was my commute. Flying my Mooney 231 into NYC at night from the east they route you over the center of La Guardia at 2500 feet tell you to head for the Empire State building drop down to less than 1000 feet (well below the tops of the WTC) turing left over the Hudson river to the Statue of Liberty then out over the Varazano Narrors bridge and a right turn into Linden NJ airport. What a way to come “home” from the Cape. Is that still allowed?

National Geographic Magazine published an article with pctures of what the entire area of Mahattan Island looked like 400 years ago. Absolutely fascinating.

I worked in all of Manhattan for the phone company for 34 years, from the Battery to the Heights. These are awsome pictures.Many memories. I think I will Walk the streets again this summer. 2011 Thanks!

All I can say is “WOW”. I’ve been gone from NY since 7/97 and miss it’s beauty. I’ve only been able to visit once since, 6/02, and hope to make a trip home in 2012. The pics are wonderful, please keep them coming and also add some of Long Island. It’s just as beautiful and I’d love to show off where I’m from. Thanks for the memories. I’ll look back on them often.

A wonderful yet scary concrete jungle.I’d take the forests over this man-made monstrosity any time.

thanks Bambi for forwarding them.I live only 50 miles from NYC but rarely go in. I miss it. This inspired me to hop the train and walk the streets, I especially want to go to the museums.

Moved to Orlando Florida May 21st of 2010 from Upstate New York and I must say that there is no other greater site to see then there is in NYC. New York City is by far an amazing and beautiful city, if the people don’t catch your attention, then the awesome size of the buildings will. I will always be a New Yorker at heart no matter where I go.

Totally Breathtaking!!!!!Awesome.Best montage I have ever seen of this magnificent city!

Picture #18 comments below are incorrect!!! Show’s Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island… Saying New York City…. This is incorrect!!! The statue of Liberty is in New Jersey!!!!

those pictures make me homesick.i have lived in florida since 1952. grew up in harlem, loved central park . just makes me feel good to remember how it —-the city was and is.

The photo of the jet flying over the cemetary was probably
photoshopped. The right engine has the reverse thrust on
and the left engine is normal. I think that the plane may
be a Boeing 717. Nice photos otherwise.

Only the true down to earth, level headed, fun seekng and respectable individuals will get the most out of this sensational one of a kind city. Those who fail to be enlightened when held in its grip must learn to leave their sack of superficialness behind before they cross the river..

I loved every picture. Thank you for the memories of our beautiful New York – Eileen C

The one city I love the most! I am from Austria/Europe and if I could freely choose, where to live and work, I chose N.Y.C.!

Well, y’seen one big city, y’seen ‘em all – except for this one. There is no greater city than New York.

If only the Yankees would stop playing that damned song after every game.

How come corporations have such nice houses when so many ordinary folks have lost or are losing theirs?

Just beautiful…God bless the USA and New York City…may we never forget the brave souls who gave their life for our freedom….

Tax dollars from all 50 states pay for infrastructure all over the country. Any Federal funding that goes to Kentucky also comes from the Federal tax pot not just from taxes paid in Kentucky. Maybe all localities should pay their own way. If that were instituted then I fear that NYC would be just fine (as there is a ton of wealth there) and Kentucky would become even poorer.

Unfortunately, most corporations are greedy and keep those nice houses at the expense of those who have lost their jobs…or who just aren’t paid enough. I wish we could figure out how to even out the playing field without being accused of being socialists. I will never understand why people don’t just do the “right” or “good” thing and participate in making this a better world for all of us. I don’t really understand greed.

What about Upper West & East Sides? What about the Greenwich Village, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope? There are so many wonderful NYC neighborhoods not captured here!

I love Manhatten. The best island in the world

Proud to be a New Yorker…miss seeing the Twin Towers.

Unbelieveable pictures with such clarity and depth, I wonder if they are digital or Film images in either case they are GREAT.

from 1952-1954 my father was stationed on Governor’s Island (#54).  This is the first time I have ever seen what it looks like.  Thank you.
All the photos are stunning, but that one is very special to me.

Congratulations to the Photographer for capturing these amazing pictures!!!!

New York is just the most amazing city in the world. The pictures are great!

Very good photography through advantages not for the average Joe.
 

i have a questions  how do find your way around and a comment so beautiful i had to hold back tears god bless the people who brang us america and new york

Just think about the vitality and majestic humm of everyday life on Manhatten Island (yes, it’s an island). The greatest city on earth.

Wonderful pictures of the gate to the land of FREEDOM! Permanent reminder of first contact with America!
George Onet

Great pictures, thanks for the oppurtunity to see them!

Nice pics, but I’m not a fan of big cities. I do like how Central Park looks, though.

I HAVE TO SAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART NEW YORK IS THE FANTASTIC CITY OF THE USA  
AT NIGHT IT  LOOKS LIKE A HUGH BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF CANDLES
AM A NEW YORKER WHO MOVED SOUTH AND IN MY HEART I WILL ALWAYS BE A NEW YORKER
FROM BROOKLYN,  WALKED THAT BRIDGE MANY A TIME IN THE FOURTIES AND LOVED IT,

RUTH

easy. ave’s run north and south starting on the east side, first second, third, etc. st’s run east and west starting from houston st downtown near greenwich village and go up town 1st, 2nd, etc.  5th ave running north and south is were the addresses start from zero and go up heading east to the east river and west to the hudson river. the streets and ave’s that are named have to be learned. times sq is the area by broadway,42nd st and seventh ave, bw’y crosses 7 th ave at 42nd. thats. where the ball drops on new years eve

The greatest city in the world, no doubt, and I am proud to have grown up in Brooklyn with access to “The City,” as we called it then.  I have lived in Florida for 38 years, more than half my life, but I am still a New Yorker and always will be.  Plays, restaurants, the exciting mixture of people, the magnificent skyscrapers, the great universities, the churches and oh, those museums. I am booking a flight as we speak-need my New York “fix” at least twice a year, or I will lose my Noo Yawk accent for sure.  These marvelous photos capture its essence.  Kudos to the photographer!

New York City is pretty awesome!
