Description

...Looking south from the Empire State Building I felt a strange feeling. Even with my unfamiliarity with the New York skyline it was obvious that a piece of it was missing, like some one had reached down and plucked a large chunk of it out. The haze of that windless summer day gave the entire scene an unreal quality, like I was starring in to a city of ghosts.

I know what you mean. I was looking at the same view last September and it's like a piece of the jigsaw is missing. Haunting image.

Haunting, I like the top half better, precisely because it looks "Ghost-like" I think you should play more with this, bring it into Bryce, see what happens! Good piece!

very nice photo, I get the same feeling you expressed, especially living so close to NYC. I've been to that spot where you took your photo many times, but not since the towers fell.
