Revamped, Reimagined Roosevelt Island

Check out the new Roosevelt Island pages, including new, bigger images of old stuff and some new stuff, like a ride on the Roosevelt Island Tramway:

Where once there were two pages for the “north” and “south” ends there is just one page for the fantastic Waterfront Promenade that circles the island. Also, new freestanding pages for Lighthouse Park, Octagon Tower and the Smallpox Hospital.

You can also see the three separate days the pictures were taken: June 10, 2004, June 16, 2004 and June 8, 2013. The changes over the years can be striking, especially on the southern tip of the island, where Southpoint Park and Four Freedoms Park have been developed.

Also, another spot to experience Manhattanhenge:
