Paul Seibert spent much of 2018 hovering thousands of feet over New York City, taking photographs for the helicopter tour company FlyNYON. Over the course of the year, Seibert shot the city from almost every imaginable angle, but the images that always performed best were those taken from a single spot: high over Harlem, looking south over Central Park, the skyscrapers of Midtown, and Downtown Manhattan, with the East and Hudson Rivers converging at the top of the frame.
Seibert shot the city from that spot month after month, season after season, which gave him the idea to create this image: a composite photograph that shows the transition between the two seasons in a single, seamless landscape.
