16 Places In New York That’ll Make You Swear You’re On Another Planet

Always stealing our breath away, New York’s beautiful scenery is often times simply out of this world. From the peaceful views of the ocean to capturing the amazing universe we live in, our state is never lacking in unbelievable sights. Due to the fact that it’s April and most of our state has seen our dear old friend snow, we thought it’d be a great time to remind ourselves exactly why it is we love this insanely gorgeous state so much! Wishing for warmer weather and an understanding that when we say we want April showers, we don’t mean snow showers. Here are 16 surreal photos of New York that will make you swear you’re on another planet:

1. Captured along the North Shore of Long Island, this beautiful sunrise at Cedar Beach is unforgettable.

2. 2014's art installation at Manhattan's Park Avenue tunnel created an otherwordly ocean for New Yorkers to escape to.

3. Western New York never ceases to amaze us. This photo of a creek in the town of West Seneca is amazing.
