LGA 11/03/2010

Had to drop off a family member at La Guardia (LGA) today and after the deed was done, I swung over to Planes View Park. Winds were at 120@10 and RWY 22 was landing and 13 was taking off. I snagged a few shots before the light completely disappeared.

New Tower. I like both for their own unique reasons :-)

I forgot to switch from spot to matrix and the meter got fooled by the landing lights intensity. There was also little light left to begin with so the s***y blurred result.

Winds were not exactly aligned with the RWY headings :-)

In the background, the very best spotting location for LGA RWYs 13 and 22. Too bad the only way to enjoy it is in an inmate uniform (Rikers)
