NYC skyline from lower east side mid town empire state building metal print canvas print color photography poster

On the day I shot this from the roof of the power plant I used to work at in Manhattan, I was having one of those days where everything I touched just went horribly wrong. I was cleaning a part of the water treatment plant, and a piece of equipment failed, but I didn't catch it in time. I was engrossed in another task involving the cleaning cycle, and I didn't notice when the equipment failed. The result? A massive cleaning solution spill over three decks, turning my bad day into a complete mess.

All the guys on the shift and the boss were understandably annoyed with me. We had to work together to clean up the mess and get the equipment functioning correctly, which took most of the 12-hour shift. You see, we worked 12-hour shifts, and once you were on shift, you couldn't leave until someone relieved you. So, going up to the roof became a way to decompress while still being on-site. And that day, I desperately needed that escape.

As I reached the roof, the lighting was perfect, and the air quality was remarkable. The city skyline lay before me, crystal clear and awe-inspiring. I rushed back to my shop, grabbed my camera, and started taking pictures. This was just one of many shots from the roof of the plant, but it held a special place in my heart.

On that particular day, the perfect conditions offered solace and a break from the chaos below. I captured numerous shots, and I never tired of the view. New York City's skyline was a constant source of inspiration and a reminder that even on the toughest days, beauty could still be found in unexpected places. This photograph became one of my favorites, a lasting memory of a challenging day that ultimately ended on a high note. . Production and Shipping Time:
