From the very top of One World Trade Center, One World Observatory can see just about everything in New York City. While up on the 102nd floor, you can rent an iPad which has a special App on it containing augmented reality bits of information over the skyline you are seeing, plus these short, informative videos telling you what you are looking at. The One World Explorer App videos are now online, and in this one, learn about the Staten Island Ferry in just 22-seconds.

Visual artist Dorothy Iannone recently created this colorful mural on The High Line, just off of 22nd Street. Titled "I Lift My Lamp Beside the Golden Door", the artist "wanted to create something that functioned as an ode to the Statue of Liberty and the message it bears emblazoned on the bronze plaque that is mounted within the statue." Here is an interesting time-lapse showing the whitewashing of the previous mural on this wall, and the 2-day process of painting the new one on top.

Captured in 1906 by photographer James A. Hart, this incredible shot is presumed to be the first ever aerial photograph of New York City.

The lower end of Manhattan Island photographed from a height of about 800 feet. Battery Park with the elevated railroad winding through it occupies most of the lower portion of the picture' the small park slightly above it is Bowling Green with the new Custom House facing it. The little dark spot to the right is Corlears Hook Park. The blurs around the corners of the pictures are due to the action of the salt water when the plates fell into Long Island Sound (Photograph by James Hare/Collier's)

Here is what it looks like today:
