Every year we make the trek to New York City for the annual Geography 2050 conference, the pillar event organized and hosted by the American Geographical Society. We’re staying in Times Square and the event is uptown at Columbia University, with day 2 hosted at the incredible Low Memorial Library.

After a nice 2 hour delay this morning I finally made it into town. Picked a good seat with the approach into LaGuardia past lower Manhattan. This is always a window seat flight...

Someone attached HD video cameras to an RC airplane and flew it all around the urban environments of New York City.

The shots flying down the towers of the Verrazano Bridge and around the head of the Statue of Liberty are breathtaking.
