Pier 55, Meat Packing District





We had to take an elevator down from the bridge and through the green perspex window this view could be seen. I thought it was quite cool to capture on camera.

We crossed a main road from the main fashion streets of this district, and found an industrial looking pier with rusty metal gates and abandoned scrap metal.
The water surrounding the pier was filled with old boat mooring piles and added to the character of this old pier.
There was only 4 of us , we'd split from the rest of the group earlier in the day, and as we walked down to the end of the pier we didn't expect the seriously mesmerising view that we met at the end!

The silhouetted skyline infront of the setting sun was gorgeous! It was one of the most spectacular views i had seen of the city, the colours were incredible and i loved how it turned out on camera.

The silhouetted people at the front of this photo are Rosie, Lauren and Emily...the three girls that i saw the Meat packing district with. This was my favourite day in New York, we saw a fantastic array of shops, walked in fashion paradise, spoke to a lovely fashion boutique owner and , after all this, we even managed to find a little visual treasure where we experienced a stunning sunset in NYC!

This is shot down the entire Pier as we were walking away, I was snapping away so furiously and then I saw this aeroplane in the sky and loved the contrast between it and the skyline.

This was an amazing finish to such a good day.
