As I departed from New York City via LaGuardia airport a week ago or so, I snapped some quick photos from my smartphone. Little did I realize how good the pictures would turn out (for a smartphone). The flight took off in a westerly direction, crossed Manhattan and the Hudson River into New Jersey after which the turn south began…
Taking off!

If someone can identify any of the parts of NY/NJ shown in these pictures, I’d love to know!
NY and NJ look better in snow! Great shots through glass. The Hudson looks awesome.

Lol – yes, the snow brings a little more purity to those streets! I had never noticed the cliffs on the western side of the Hudson. Must explore…
Wow, the photos did turn out really great for being taken from a smartphone. I love seeing the patterns of cities from the air.

Thanks, Adelina. I was pretty pleased with the photos! The snow definitely help highlight the patterns and lines of the city. I was lucky!
Very cool! My snow pictures were taken from the ground at JFK.
Any time there is snow, there is a chance for great pix, Robin! Want to share yours here??!!
Great pictures!
