Boston-based time lapse photographer, cinematographer, and filmmaker Julian Tryba of Alinia Media spent the past three years capturing thousands and thousands of photos from hundred of rooftops and locations around New York City. After countless hours of editing and photo processing, he has created one of the most stunning collections of NYC skyline and cityscape time lapses we have ever seen.

Check out this incredible time-lapse video of NYC that is over 3 years in the making. By working with buildings and some of the top brokers in Manhattan, I was able to gain access to some of the most exclusive real-estate in the city; this film is a compilation of some of the views I captured along the way.

Check out the project page for behind-the-scenes photography, and explanations on how the video was created.

Five years ago, super storm Sandy dumped millions of gallons of corrosive salt water into New York City's subway stations and tunnels, a problem which we are only beginning to repair today. Along with repairing electrical lines, track and other elements damaged by the water, the MTA is installing massive 25-ton floodgates to seal up some tunnels and prevent this sort of damage in the future. Learn more about it in this short video from the Post.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is installing massive, 25-ton floodgates and other state-of-the-art measures to protect New York City’s train and vehicle tunnels.
