This is another shot of the sunset at the Verrazano Bridge from December 20, 2010 — aka Verrazanocolapse.
It’s quite perfect when the sun plays hide and seek by hiding under the bridge like that.
Start The New Year Right
We cannot think of a better way to ring in the new year than to start off with a spectacular photo of a sunset at the Verrazano Bridge — sunrises happen WAY too early.
Happy New Year!!!
Verrazanocolapse
This is what the sunset looked like on December 20th at the Verrazano Bridge.
The sun sets pretty much the same on the winter solstice, which means that if someone puts a plaque on the bridge stating that the world is going to end in the year 5087, the future’s version of Nicholas Cage is going to have one heck of an apocalyptic hit film on his hands.
NYC Map Mosaic
It always amazes us that we can pass something 1,000 times and never quite notice it, and then on the 1,001st time we actually see it. This is exactly what happened with the police station in the middle of Times Square.
There’s this beautiful mosaic map of New York City on it — albeit a confusing map of New York City — that we’ve never realized was there before.
The map contains the five main components of New York City: Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island on it, but it’s not quite right.
Staten Island is labeled by its county name: Richmond, as is Queens and the Bronx, with Queens and the Bronx also being their borough names. However, Brooklyn and Manhattan are labeled by their respective borough names — not their county names of Kings (Brooklyn) and New York (Manhattan).
It sure as heck makes us wonder what map the artist was given of NYC and wonder if the artist has ever even stepped foot in New York.
Burning Clouds, A Sunset
This is a photo of a crazy sunset over Staten Island that has the appearance of burning clouds.
And the random ship from the Narrows in the shadows adds a nice flavor too.
