Riverfront Walk of Mid-Summer Sunrise Hour of New York Harbor & Jersey City Skyline View from Weehawken New Jersey (+ Verrazano Bridge)

            The view from the riverfront walkway is definitely quite different from that seen from atop the cliffs overlooking the river on the New Jersey side.  Perhaps it is a bit more intimate, as the water is practically right there in front.  In this instance, swinging the lens to the west a bit, we have the Verrazano Bridge and the business district of the Jersey City skyline, etc.
It is always a lot of fun to drive out early or late in the day to catch a view of the magnificent skyline of Manhattan from the New Jersey side (Weehawken, west of the Hudson River).  The tones and colors of the sky are never the same from one “Magic Hour” to the next, but each offers a uniquely special scene that simply has one in awe . . .
The sun was just beginning to rise as I arrived.  Parking in a very beautiful residential area with mansions up along the cliff tops, I walked over to the overlook path, and facing south toward downtown NYC the harbor first, I knew that this would be a fun photo-op, since a large cruise ship, the Norwegian Breakaway, was sailing up river to dock in midtown near the USS Intrepid, the aircraft carrier/museum.  Afterward, the intensity of the rising sun was so fantastic that every effort was made to focus on capturing that fire within a limited framework, wonderfully complimented by the silhouette of the Uptown Skyscrapers.  
The tonal quality in the air was perfect on this warm day, and it was quite clear to appreciate the colors and the landscape across the way.  Following the series of photos from this day will offer you some truly wonderful views of the many attractive landmarks and general landscape, both on the NY and NJ side of the Hudson River.
