Brooklyn's Kai Feder was flying into New York City on December 31st, 2014 and, due to a recent change in airplane electronics policy during takeoff and landing, was able to capture this amazing photograph looking South over the City. You can see all of Lower Manhattan and Staten Island, most of Brooklyn, and bits of Queens on this perfectly clear and cloudless night. The big white patch of light in the center is — you guessed it — the Times Square New Year's Eve Bash.
