Description
From the street, New York is a familiar world. Seen from the air, it becomes an exotic uncluttered, beautiful place. From vantage points that few people ever reach, world-renowned aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand has created a lush, romantic tribute to one of the most thrilling cities in history. The photographs reveal the power and beauty of Manhattan's amazing skyscrapers - the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the World Trade Center - capturing not only their dramatic forms but also the ever-changing light that fills the spaces around them. Arthus-Bertrand reveals hidden corners of Central Park and exotic apartment buildings of the Upper West Side that resemble fairy-tale castles. John Tauranac's commentaries lead readers on a tour of key monuments and little-known treasures in one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the world.
