“How many skylines can you fit in one picture?”
Well, to be nerdy and answer your question, I count either 6 or 7, depending on how you delineate them.
- Newark
- Jersey City
- Fort Lee
- Midtown and Upper West/East Side
- Downtown
- Brooklyn
- ??? - It’s hard to tell if you can see Long Island City

And Midtown//UWS/UES… and does the Flatiron district count, or is that part of midtown? As more gets built, they start to merge together (which is amazing).

Why haven’t they removed the old wooden planks in the water?
I don’t know honestly, but it doesn’t bother me that much. It reminds me a lot of my hometown, which has lots wood popping out of water from former piers. Going to the waterfront park, you see so much of this wood, even from a pier where Benjamin Franklin himself landed!
One piece of the shore I kept observing to find the wreck of the HMS Augusta, a British revolutionary war era ship that caught fire at near Fort Mercer (now Red Bank Battlefield) and ran aground in my hometown (Gloucester City, NJ). There’s so much history in my hometown and I LOVE it…but lets get back to the city.

Former wooden piles that once held piers are sometimes driven very deeply into the earth, so in that regard it is difficult to pull them out easily. They are also left behind to make habitats for aquatic marinelife as wood deteriorates much slower in water, especially saltwater so the portions below the waterlevel will be there for hundreds of years.

I like them, a reminder of what was. You can let your imagination run wild wondering what was going on there so long ago.
