On the Ferry to Manhattan 🛳️🗽

This photo series captures my very first visit to New York. 🌆✨ In the week I spent here, one of my favorite things to do was ride the Staten Island Ferry, shuttling back and forth between Manhattan and Staten Island, passing by the Statue of Liberty along the way 🗽💫. I lost count of how many round trips I took — I just kept standing on the deck, watching the Manhattan skyline draw near and drift away, bathed in golden hour glow, soft pink dusk, and serene blue hour light. 🌇🌌 Each crossing felt like a quiet conversation with the city. Whether it was early morning mist hovering over the water or the sparkling nightscape after sunset, the ferry gave me a peaceful, moving perspective of New York — dynamic yet timeless. 📸❤️ If you’re visiting, don’t miss this free and beautiful ride. It’s not just transportation; it’s an experience, a moment to breathe, reflect, and fall in love with the city’s rhythm. 🚢💙 #FirstTimeInNYC #MyFirstTime #NYCFerry #StatenIslandFerry #NYCViews #CityscapePhotography #TravelMemories #NikonPhotography #2025Memories #UrbanExploration #NYCMoments #SkylineLove #Wanderlust #PhotographyDiary
