The Tribute in Light is an art installation of 88 searchlights placed next to the site of the World Trade Center to create two vertical columns of light in remembrance of the September 11 attacks. It is produced annually by The Municipal Art Society of New York. It initially ran as a temporary installation from March 11 to April 14, 2002, and was launched again in 2003 to mark the second anniversary of the attack. As of 2010, it has been repeated every year on September 11. It had been announced that 2008 would be its final year, but the tribute was continued in 2009. On December 17, 2009, it was confirmed that the tribute would continue through to the tenth anniversary of the attacks in 2011.
I was hoping to get some wide angle action going with this shot (similar to the 3rd shot in comments) but as luck would have it, mother nature wasn't having any of that and put down a dense carpet of clouds and fog. So I shot the skyline tightly eliminating the excess sky. But at the same time the light hitting the clouds created a bit of an outer worldly effect. Hopefully this isn't the last year for the Tribute in light. It really is a great way to mark this historic day in NYC.

(Pardon the terrible title, not feeling very original at the moment!) Today I made a very much impulsive visit to the Top of the Rock. As I waited in line after line surrounded by scores of tourists, I started questioning my decision. The $50 I paid for 2 tickets started whispering negative thoughts to me. Today, however, mother nature did not disappoint. Beautiful ambiance and cloud porn was the order of the evening! It was enough to make one forget the chaos below on the streets of NYC. (And more importantly the $50 I paid for my 2nd visit to the rock!)

Finally a break in the clouds. It's either been cloudless or morbidly over-cast in NYC for quite some time with seemingly no middle ground. Overcooked for dramatic effect. Apocalypse anyone?

Times Square USA - Always Looking for a different ways to shoot Time Square that aren't as generic. Was lucky today- after the snowstorm the sun came out around sunset and added some interesting light around Time Square. I thought the Police Car gave it a sort of Need for Speed feel.
