While we're not exactly famous for it, New York City does get it's share of fantastic looking sunsets. This was taken in the Queens neighborhood of College Point, looking out over the East River.
Sad, cemetery on Liberty ave and 81st, sad it's forgotten (seems that way). I would volunteer to restore it and get all the brush out. Lot of graves from 1800's.
