The sun setting over the Hudson River . The sky is cloudy with patches of pale blue. Near the horizon behind the clouds the sky glows pale orange, this is reflected in the river.

Midtown and lower Manhattan viewed under the George Washington Bridge from a sailboat on the Hudson River. The bright sun is glinting off the water, the light haze makes the towers of Manhattan ghostly blue in the distance.

I do not know what a flock of hummingbirds is called but 4 or 5 female red throated hummingbirds were zapping around the local garden. #photography #iPhone #ornithology #BirdPhotography #Manhattan #NYC
A green hummingbird hovers as it pokes its long beak into a purple flower. Around the image are dark and light green leaves.

A view from the bow of a moored sailboat pointing down the Hudson River towards the George Washington Bridge and lower Manhattan. Overhead the sky is dark with billowing rain clouds, the distance hidden by the oncoming rain. To the left the sky glows yellow orange with the low sun.

Dyckman Street, Manhattan. #photography #urban #Summer #Manhattan #NYC
A hot sunny summer day. A tree wrapped in coloured lights along side a city street with parked cars. The tree is surrounded by shrubs and a fence. Behind the shrubs a fire hydrant is squirting water into the air over the street. In the background further trees line the street.
