There are few cities in this world more popular, famous, or beloved than New York City. One of the most visited destinations in the tri-state area, and quite possibly in the entire United States, this city is filled with treasures from our past, like the 17th century Wyckoff Farmhouse (turned museum) and monuments to our future, like the Empire State Building. Central Park, a prized possession of the city, also has a long and illustrious history and is filled with many beautiful works of art and fascinating sights. Touring New York City is a dream for many people all over the globe.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a photographer from France who also wanted to tour New York City, but using a route never seen so thoroughly before: through the clouds! In his series "New York City From the Air", Arthus-Bertrand captures all of the greatest architectural and cultural marvels that the Big Apple has to offer from the sky. These aerial shots show us an unbelievably beautiful side to the city that never sleeps (which looks almost litter free when seen from above). Travel through the memorable streets of this iconic city with these photographs that will have you singing "New York, New York"!
