This image was taken from Brooklyn Bridge Park just around sunset.
As it was December, the trees were barren and the sky very gray most days. As it cleared up one afternoon, I got set up and waited for the orange glow to hit the glass on the buildings, the trees to the side and the pylons in the water.
