This is a daytime photograph capturing a view from Pier 17 in the Seaport District of Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States, looking northeast across the East River towards the Brooklyn Bridge and the Brooklyn waterfront. The foreground features an expansive dark wooden plank deck. Centrally located on the deck is a rectangular area of light green grass bordered by dark grey concrete planters; one planter on the right shows surface abrasion. A fragmented grey concrete block is partially visible in the lower left corner. To the left, a modern building with a multi-story, green-tinted glass facade is partially visible. Immediately beyond the wooden deck, a glass and metal railing separates the viewing area from the East River. Below the railing, approximately 20-30 individuals are observed seated at outdoor tables, appearing to be engaged in leisure or dining activities. On the East River, a white recreational motorboat with a cabin and an open deck is moored slightly right of center, with a smaller sailboat featuring a mast positioned to its left. The Brooklyn Bridge, characterized by its distinctive stone towers and intricate suspension cables, spans the river in the mid-ground. The background reveals the urban skyline of Brooklyn, composed of various residential and commercial buildings interspersed with trees. The sky above is clear and blue, devoid of clouds. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
