Evening scene around the time of sunset in a photogenic City at a riverside park, facing eastward away from the setting sun toward a rainbow in the sky over the neighboring borough across the river; the magnificent and colourful sunset behind the scene is illuminating the eastern sky with tones of pink and orange through some light and scattered clouds. Evening scene at the time of sunset on a typical residential street block in the eastern part of a photogenic City at a riverside park, facing upward the sky which has been painted in deep shades of orange, red, and purple by the setting sun; all down the block, the brick buildings are illuminated in red as they begin to turn on their front door lights; a jumbo airliner, flying low as it approaches one of the City's airports, cuts through the corner of the scene under a canopy of fuchsia clouds.

Daytime scene in a large city, overlooking a broad "river" which is not actually a river, it is a tidal estuary with brackish salt water; from this riverfront view, we are facing across the water at a small island named Randall's Island, which has two bridges leading across the water to the neighborhood of Astoria, Queens, the home of today's victor of the city's mayoral race; one of the bridges leading to Astoria is a newer lift-truss/suspension bridge which is light green in color and designed for automobiles, the other an old, pinkish-red through-arch train bridge; in the foreground, in the water, is a massive barge being pushed by a tugboat, and a couple of smaller (but still fairly large) boats that appear to be private vessels; the sky in the distance is clear and blue.
