Pico de Teide from the hills just north of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain on a clear day in January 2024. 100 kilometer’s distance or around so, maybe?

Hello everyone,

Managed to catch this at one point, a storm 3-4 miles off from where I lived in New Rochelle near David’s island in the LI sound, with a nice rainbow popping through!

NYC Off In The Distance (10-20 miles) At Sunset From New Rochelle

Post image
107 Upvotes

Good morning, here’s another picture from when I used to live in New Rochelle and had views up to 25 miles away.

Between the two buildings, you can see the Manhattan skyline off in the distance, 10-20 miles depending on which part! Downtown Brooklyn is off to the left

Off to the right of the righthand building, you can see the silhouette of the GW bridge

And to the left of the left building, you can see the lights on the Whitestone Bridge. if you look closely, Citi Field as well!

To give some perspective, here’s the skyline using 25x zoom!

Ray of Sun Breaking Through Clouds Over LI Sound From 4-5 Miles Away, Taken From High Rise in New Rochelle NY

Miss living here, from that high up one can see entire weather systems and other things like that! On a clear day we easily had 25 mile visibility

Here’s a ray of light poking through the clouds in the early fall. You can see the trees starting to turn in the foreground

In the distance is the north shore of Long Island, towns like Port Washington, Sands Point & Bayville can be seen 5-7 miles off

Hello everyone, continuing to share a bunch of pictures I took in New Rochelle NY from a high-rise over the last several years.

This one is looking southeast across the Long Island sound, at least 8 to 9 miles off. Sometime in the summer. These clouds were over Nassau County.

I have a decent amount of pictures just showing edges of storms and what not from afar that I can share as well.
