New York city is full of amazing places, but few other locations capture the imagination like Grand Central Station. If you’ve yet to see this building in person you owe it to yourself to do so.

Previously I posted an alternate version of this titled “Coit Tower Moonrise“. I’m not sure which I like better. What’s your take do you have any preference?

I’ve seen numerous city skylines, but nothing is as impressive to me as seeing the lights of downtown San Francisco. I happened across this newly discovered view recently and was very attracted to the natural framing. This new and unique perspective of downtown San Francisco is one I find myself returning to view. This may very well be a new favorite of mine. [tags]San Francisco, downtown, lights, skyline, city
