Jersey City

“The Colgate Clock” is an octagonal clock facing the Hudson river near Exchange Place in Jersey City New Jersey. It is 50 feet in diameter and is currently situated 400 m south of where the headquarters of consumer products conglomerate Colgate Palmolive used to be situated before it left the area in 1985. This is actually the second Colgate clock built in 1924 to replace an earlier clock which was constructed to commemorate Colgate’s centennial in 1906. The original Clock now sits in the Colgate factory in Clarksville Indiana. For those of you who follow my Instagram feed, @nysimages, this clock was located directly behind me from where I took “The Long Exposure Selfie.

New York City skyline at Sunrise is spectacular the colours even work with the Red White & Blue. I did very minimal processing these were the true colours. If you not the rocks in the foreground, yes you need to climb over the fence at low tide by the time we finished a lot less rocks. But your right near the collage clock so nobody cases. #jerseycity #newyorkcity #nyc #skyline #red #white #blue
The Hudson freeze in Jan 2018 due to the extreme cold
Some days you just want to tune out. Those are the best days to take your camera out and explore. But don't fret if it falls on a cloudy day, you might just find the sunset sifting through and bestowing a silver lining upon the clouds ⛅️ 🍀 #newyork #jerseycity #nychotspots #iconicspots
