For Skywatch today I've posted the trip to my nephew's house to celebrate his son's 3rd birthday. It was last weekend and overcast and threatening to rain the whole way over.
The first shot is from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway just after the Kosciusko Bridge. I took shots all along the way until we were about 500 feet before the Atlantic Ave exit which is where we get off for his house.

good progression sometimes those gray days are nice sometimes just to help us appreciate the sunny ones
Ahh my 2nd favourite city on earth. I love the last shot especially, look like the pier where we took our helicopter ride around Manhattan last time we were there. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

Rain is water, and water to the Chinese means luck and wealth :)
So I guess it pretty good if there's rain on a birthday...unless it's lawn party or something :)
Happy Friday Mary!!
....I'm suffering from insomnia..it's 330am now!! *lol*
hope can go to manhattan someday and look the sky in there :D
I hope you stop by at my SWF post also in HERE. Thanks
great skyline shot. Love the photos. I have always wanted to come to New York. Have a great SWF.
Ah, the Kosciusko Bridge! That's where my husband always used to get lost every time we went to visit our friends. You bring back memories.
I love all of these shots - especially the first. It's a beauty.

Nice pictures of a gray day at Manhattan
beautiful shots!
It's so fun to see the skies over NYC through the lens of your camera...even dreary ones.
Great pictures of my city...I do miss it Mary...
A beautiful collection. I've never been to the big apple, someday I hope. Happy weekend.
Oh my these are magnificent. I am so new to this that I am always so amazed at everyone's work.
You did a wonderful job of capturing Manhattan...I can almost hear the rustling about and the cars honking.
Simply stunning!!
My post is here and very modest in comparison.

Thank you for such a wonderful share!!
Happy SWF:-)))
Boy I love your skywatch. They are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Teach, great shots and love your game.lol.
I am looking for an adequate word and I feel 'authentic' is the one I want. I feel in touch with your journey.
Great series of photos! I feel as if I've been there, just from all the TV programmes ;O)
Love the NYC skyline and these are great
Brrrrr what a cold grey day it looked to be! Having never been to NYC, it was nice to have the tour!
Looks like a day to be happy you were in the car! But I love NYC and your pictures of it are wonderful.
Great shots of NYC, one of my fave cities.
All cool shots. I remember that rainy day. ;-)

those look like our skies today. I so am ready to take a trip to Manhattan!! Happy Halloween Mary!
What great shots of the skyline and the sky. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent sereis of cityscapes, grey can ofetn be beautiful.
Seems like winter is getting inexorably closer...
What a wonderful series Mary!
The overcast skies didn't bother me at all with all your wonderful views.
They built the expressways so you et a great view of the city skyline. All you need is a driver who can get in the best lane for a photo. My favorite is the Brooklyn Bridge.
Oh that reminds me when we stayed for 3 days in New York ! It was so nice and I have seen a lot !
hmm pretty pretty ...Nice entries.
Great views from the Big Apple!
I like the view and how the sky keeps changing ... boo-tiful!

What wonderfully diverse perspectives in your Sky Watch series today! My SkyWatch/ HaikuFriday is at Sacred Ruminations, but since it's Halloween ... if you've not yet been BOO'd, drop by Small Reflections and read yesterday's post. Today's post there has more Halloween Haiku Fun too ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Great shots. Gray days are not always fun but they do often make for some great photo ops.
I've never been to the big city or to the United States before but this is what I always imagined it would be like... wow... amazing... regardless of the weather... what spectacular photographs!!!

Great pictures - especially the 1st one.
I enjoyed seeing your city scenes!!

Fantastic NYC shots! Love the one of the Brooklyn Bridge
Gorgeous photos. Love that skyline. Thanks for sharing. Shows gorgeous pictures aren't just taken on sunny clear days.
all beautifully captured!!
Iconic New York photos made human with your narrative. I think of NYC as a destination; it's good to be reminded that it is also "home" for many people.
