Amazing. Beautiful thread there, AX. That shot with the 7WTC is just unreal. It looks so beautiful.

I just noticed this. This isn't something that we in Texas have to deal with. Check out the "pipes" over the man-hole covers diverting the steam from the sewer so pedestrians don't have to walk through it. That's not something I've ever seen before.
http://www.axelrd.com/photos/nyc2007/2/images/20070111-105446_c54699.jpg

Amazing shot. The scene doesn't even look real.

AX has already astounded us with his photos of Montreal and of his hometown, Trois Rivières. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone set him loose on NYC, THE City of Cities...

With predictable consequences...
Holy cow what a thread!

Now... these days are over.

#&$*ing Incredible. I was there last summer and I felt like I was on another planet. You truly have to see it to believe it. I live in Toronto, which for all intensive purposes is a great city in itself...but this city takes the cake. The King of all cities...NEW YORK CITY...

Amazing picture thread. Thank you Ax.

How about going back to New York in spring/summer and taking some more? That is when the city is most beautiful.

Wow. When this thread was first posted, I was in the middle of a busy 2 weeks relocating from Houston to Chicago. So I missed it. But I'm glad I've seen it now. Impressive to say the least! :)

Never been there, but photos like these never cease to amaze me. There is no other city in the world that is so awe inspiring and utterly engrossing = the greatest city on the planet.
