Manhattan Skyline from Greenpoint Waters

The iconic Manhattan skyline rises majestically across the East River, viewed from the industrial waterfront of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Wispy white clouds drift across an azure afternoon sky, creating a serene backdrop for the dense cluster of skyscrapers including the distinctive Empire State Building. The foreground features weathered wooden pier pilings emerging from the dark river waters, adding rustic texture to this classic New York vista. The composition captures the dramatic contrast between Brooklyn's quieter shores and Manhattan's towering urban density.
