New York City, baby.

Best of October 2025

Simon Abrams November 23, 2025

I'm kinda late with this one, but I'm determined to keep this series going, dammit. Looking back at my images from October, it seems that I more or less practiced two distinct types of photography in that month: birds, and urban landscapes.

View fullsize Mallard
View fullsize Canada geese
View fullsize Red-bellied woodpecker
View fullsize Bluejay

These birds were mostly photographed in Prospect Park, though a few, including the monk parakeets and my very first kestrel were shot at Green-Wood Cemetery. Also, I evidently have a thing for Eastern phoebes, since I unintentionally selected three separate photos of them for this collection.

This is kind of my “everything else” collection from October. I shot some NYC landmarks, which involved a couple of excursions over to New Jersey. The first few are from one evening when I went over to Jersey City to shoot the full moon over the skyline, only to be thwarted by substantial cloud cover. The Statue of Liberty images are from a morning jaunt over to Liberty State Park. I planned the position of the sun and the alignment with the crown of the statue using Photopills.

The remaining images are of some motorcycle club members, who had just finished a huge fundraising ride in support of fighting cancer.

That’s it for October - which are your favorites?
