I'll Take Manhattan - From Roosevelt Island




The Weblicist of Manhattan, who provides virtual photo tours of much of New York City, has shot these incredibly beautiful images of the New York City Skyline from Roosevelt Island. The photos remind me of the opening montage (link to Truveo video - try to catch picture of Roosevelt Island Tram in montage) of Woody Allen's film Manhattan and the wonderful Gershwin music. This time the Weblicist's Skyline is in color.

Today's Roosevelt Island Weekend Waterfront video (it meets my criteria because there are images of the Thames River) imagines if Woody Allen were born in London.



You Tube video link is here.

Also, here is You Tube link to Edinhattan, a tribute to Edinburgh, Scotland and homage to Woody Allen's Manhattan though some don't like the movie.
