Observer
Name Susie L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Traveled east to west from my view on a downward slope - someone with south facing Manhattan windows should have an epic shot of it. Potentially anyone who was on top of the Empire State Building looking south or on top of the Edge view deck. Or any news station! Someone’s got to have the shot!!
