Downtown Manhattan at sunset after a stormy day, as seen from the ferry to Staten Island - New York City, October 2000 - View large

It had been a stormy day and only at evening the clouds started to disappear. At sunset I was on the stern platform of the ferry to Staten Island (that I had taken for the mere purpose of watching NY Bay) when through a rift in the clouds the sunrays lightened downtown Manhattan with this golden and slightly reddish light. The seagulls followed the ferry because minutes previously in the same spot where I was, someone recorded an advertising sketch with a kissing scene, and they had thrown bird food to recall seagulls and liven up the scene.
As a tourist I had my camera with me and it was natural to take this beautiful photo. Newyorkers would have had many other opportunities.

Sadly it turned out to be one of those not too rare “now or never” occasions (at least for me).
