Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. This is at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, literally right across from the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan. It was pretty amazing, I was the only person there and it had a silence to it that was kind of creepy, considering how busy it must have been 80 or so years ago.
The reason they look fake is because of post processing, I created the pictures by blending in multiple exposures into one (HDR)
