This is a “gimme shot” from a trip to New York last October. I shot it on a run from somewhere in Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan and back.  I ran carrying my D700 with a 20mm lens — about as compact a kit as I can carry.

The clear blue sky that day almost demanded I convert this image to black and white, a technique I have really been embracing lately (in case you haven’t noticed).
