Navid Baraty, a Brooklyn-based photographer, created a series of photographs of the Thanksgiving Day parade from a bird’s eye view. He states, ‘I shot them from the roof of a 30-story building along 6th Avenue at 37th Street. It was so amazing to watch the parade from above. I grew up watching the parade on Thanksgiving morning with the family and it was my first time seeing it in person. It’s crazy how small it all seemed from high above when you’re so used to seeing how giant the balloons look on TV that appear to be towering up into the buildings. It was also pretty cool to be able to see the whole line of floats and balloons coming down 6th Avenue all the way up to the southern edge of Central Park.’
