NYC view - via water taxi

Southport...heading down to the pier to catch the ...
Water taxi - well worth the time - and the best part...we had free tickets.
Brooklyn Bridge (foreground), Manhattan Bridge (background)
Jersey City, NJ
More of Jersey City...
The Twin Towers used to stand behind the tallest two buildings...and were twice as tall.
Looking north up the channel of water between Jersey City & NYC...
Looking towards Manhattan - always a helicopter or two visible somewhere over Manhattan
Manhattan
Ellis Island
Manhattan (left) and Brooklyn (right)
Miss Liberty!!
She is huge!
The specks on the ground near the water...those are people...just to try and give you a little perspective of her size.
Manhattan again with Battery Park in the foreground.
More the Manhattan waters edge, looking towards M & B bridges.
And again...
Brooklyn Bridge
There were many pics of this bridge from 9/11 as many NYers ran for their lives across this bridge to Brooklyn! The towers used to stand a short distance off to the left in this picture.
