Brooklyn & Manhattan, New York Live Cam

Williamsburg in Brooklyn carries this webcam west towards the skyline of Manhattan, in New York City. Low roofs and water tanks fill the foreground, and the midtown towers stand in a line across the horizon.

The East River runs between the two, out of sight below the rooftops. The Empire State Building sits in the middle of the skyline with the Chrysler Building beside it, and the World Trade Center marks the left end of the row.

The sun sets behind Manhattan from this angle, so the towers go from lit to silhouette over an hour. Another camera in the catalogue looks at the same skyline from Red Hook, further south and across the harbour.
