I was looking through my photo files this weekend and came across these four iconic views of New York City that were taken at different times of the day and in different weather conditions. I thought they would be perfect for Mosaic Monday.
In the two top photos the city heartbeat throbs and pulses across the river, with diamond lights displayed on a velvet sky.
In the bottom left photo Lady Liberty holds her light high in an orange twilight harbor, while on the right the Brooklyn Bridge stands solid, silent, cold and grey on an overcast winter day.
They are views I see often, yet never tire of. It's my city of lights and contrasts, colors and neutrals, ever changing yet always the same. It's home.
Be sure to join Mary at The Little Red House blog today for Mosaic Monday!

Fantastic pics Pat. It's amazing what a different lighting will do to a familiar scene to make it fresh and striking again.
HI Pat. What beautiful pictures of New York. Great mosaic. Have a good day
What a beautiful mosaic Pat. I love the twilight harbor shot, the light is gorgeous. And I love the contrast of these with the intimate neighborhood shots that you show us each week. Have a great week! Kathy
Nice mosaic as always. My favorite picture is the black and white of that wonderful bridge.
Hi Pat! They're awesome!! Great shots!!
Thanks for your comment at my new blog Blogtrotter Two, now at the Art Deco District in South Beach! Hope to read you there often! Have a great week ahead!!!
Splendid mosaic, Pat! Your can definitely feel which season belong to each photo...Great idea for doing your mosaic this way! Happy Week, my friend :o) ((HUGS))
Wonderful mosaic of New York City. You have some wonderful shots.
Great mosaic, Pat! You know, the city even has a different FEEL when the weather changes!
Oh how I love NYC! I'm a native NYer who now lives in Fl. Although I love my new home (11 years here) I still miss those beautiful lights!
There's a fairly new song out i think it's called "Let's here it for NY" It makes me home sick every time I hear it!
Thanks for the big beautiful city lights!

As always great photos. When are you putting these together into a book?
Have to say, the skyline is so breathtaking :) Gorgeous views, your shots are fabulous, Pat! I used to love driving in, as a kid, with my parents, on the LIE, at night, and I was in awe of the sight of the city!
Iconic. Such a perfect word for those photos. I think I've been seeing those all my life but put together into a mosaic it made me look again!
Good morning!
Beautiful photos, magnificent mosaic...Christine
Paris may be the City of Lights but NYC sure shows well at night! Lovely.
Absolutely gorgeous! Something I would like to see before I get too old!!
I'm happy you don't take the beautiful scenery for granted - it is spectacular...
A city we can be proud of! Beautiful pictures!
Great photos!I love Lady Liberty in the orange light!Splendid mosaic.
Have a lovely day

Amazing pictures, Pat! When I see the city in all its glory it just makes me melt.

Looks like you have some of that awful spam, Pat... So sorry.... I wrote Blogger and mine STOPPED.
The NYC pictures are amazing---all of them. The only thing that is missing is the Twin Towers. sigh!
Hugs,
Betsy
Pat, how very lovely those photos are - and so New York City! There is so much beauty there - and really everywhere if we just take time to look for it...
Your photos are beautiful and as you mentioned iconic! I love the shots. You are extremely lucky to be able to see these sights!
Lovely photos of NY. We visited there a couple years ago and I'm not inspired to put some of my photographs together. Beautiful city.
Love your mosaic. As a fellow New Yorker there is no better city.
I would never tire of those views either. Just beautiful.

Your beautiful mosaic is comprised of four MARVELOUS views of NY City! Just delightful ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
My Mosaic is at Sacred Ruminations
Great to see NY from those different views. Always amazing.
Love the mosaic and am wishing I was there..well maybe when it gets warmer. I may go up in March and if I do I will let you know before hand and maybe we can run around the city and have some lunch and take photos and gab etc.

Beautiful pictures, Pat I love to take the same picture at different times of the year..
Since I was a kid I would always wonder about the people who lived in the apts you could see as we drove across the bridge at night. What was their life like..having all those cars whizzing my your window 24 hours a day? I guess they didn't notice after awhile!
And comment 5..LOL..a yam and sex??? :) I know you will be removing it! I get the ugg boot ads on mine frequently!
Scrumptious! And my favorite remains The Statue of Liberty...that's an amazing shot!
Beautiful pics....growing up around here and seeing those views, i just realized how much i AM going to miss it when we finally move to florida... :-(
All four photos are perfect viewpoints of the city across the river from you. Rachel is all excited. She arrives in NYC on Thursday. I'm so jealous!
Love each and every one of them. Gorgeous and captured perfectly. ~Jeanne
wow...what a wonderful pictures...i love them all...I wish i can visit NY one day. lol
Thanks for the comment anyway.
Have a great day.
Beautiful shots of a beautiful view!
What beautiful photos of your beloved New York City. Wouldn't it be fun if there was a day where bloggers could all share scenic photos of the city where they live?
Great photos Pat!
Beautiful pictures Pat, I would really love to be there one day.
Some of my favorite places to see in the city! That and the Flat Iron Building, which I've been oddly obsessed with since youth. :-)
You live in a beautiful city Pat! This is a fantastic mosaic...Mr O and I were in NYC for an afternoon last week to see the O'Keefe show at the Whitney...it is always fun to go to the city!
Beautiful shots of a beautiful city!!
I'm late catching up on this weeks MM. I love these shots Pat, you asked about the swan mosaic I made with the swan photo as the background a few days ago and I meant to reply to you. Let me know if you found out how to do this, but it is in Picasa, settings, background options. you can chose a solid colour background or click on one of your photos in the mosaic and click on use image, Kathy xoxo.
FAB photos... GREAT city!
Perfect indeed! I love your shots of your ever changing city.
STUNNING! Also perfect because.....
I am finally coming to New York! Booked the flights and hotel! End of May. I'll send you an email with more info:)) Really looking forward to getting together at some point.
