Manhattan Island concentrates an extraordinary density of globally recognized landmarks within an area of roughly 23 square miles. The midtown skyline, dominated by the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center, is most dramatically photographed from the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian walkway at dawn, when the rising sun backlights the towers from the east. Central Park provides an eight-hundred-acre counterpoint of meadow, woodland, and reservoir at the island's geographic center.
