I had gotten so used to Lower Manhattan views from the Brooklyn Bridge Park that I had almost forgotten how much more impressive midtown’s skyline is.

Here are a couple of 360° panoramas taken from the Grantry Plaza State Park in Queens, a place which reminds me both of the Highline and the Brooklyn Bridge Park. It was a windy night, the wooden boardwalk was slightly woobly, and many people were walking by with the grace of elephants on a rampage. I had trouble keeping things steady and stitching later suffered. Worse, my lens turned out to have been be shamefully dirty. So these are far from perfect, but still, very cool view…

As always, click on the bottom menu’s “Full Screen” icon and then click and drag to navigate within the image in all directions or use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
