On a peaceful evening, I happened upon Liberty State Park, a serene refuge away from the constant buzz of the city. My purpose was uncomplicated yet deeply heartfelt—to preserve the beauty of the World Trade Center skyline as the day softly slipped away into the night. The purpose extended beyond obtaining another captivating image.

I set up my camera and instantly felt the park’s calmness. The place was chill, with a few people enjoying the laid-back vibes of the late afternoon. It all felt good, and when the sun started going down, that’s when the real magic began.

The sky transformed into a masterpiece with every passing moment. The colors were insane as they hit the World Trade Center. It was like watching an artist in action, the sky turning into a masterpiece before my eyes. With the hope of capturing a small portion of the unfolding beauty, I quickly clicked away.

Each shot made me feel more connected to the scene like the skyline and sky were telling me a secret. It was like a painting, those towers standing tall against the sky.

As the sun set and darkness enveloped the surroundings, I carefully packed my things, carrying not only photographs but also a wealth of sentimental value. I witnessed the city’s delicate and peaceful beauty as if painted by nature itself. This was New York like you’ve never seen it before, so alive and vibrant. I couldn’t stop thinking about that evening, even when the colors disappeared.
