It closed shortly after and was sold to different developers but ultimately it still stands today. ...

BLOCKHOUSE NO. 1 (WAR OF 1812 FORT IN CENTRAL PARK!)
Переглядів 1,8 тис.4 роки тому
At the very north end of the North Woods section of Central Park sits an old ruin that predates the existence of the park! It is the second oldest structure in the park, right after Cleopatra's Needle. The high elevation and rugged terrain made it suitable as a defense point, looking north over the flatter meadows in present day Harlem. I highly recommend checking out this remnant of American h...
MAVIC AIR 2 OVER NYC!
Переглядів 3,5 тис.4 роки тому
So I did some research on it and the newest DJI Mavic Air 2 drone has some amazing features at a reasonable price point. The drone was released in March of this year and what drew me to it was the 4K 60fps as well as 1080p in 120 and 240fps. Overall, a simple, reliable, and very compact drone for the average consumer or even professional. I shot this footage over New York City to see... what th...
