Amidst all the chaos YouTuber Jonathan Harper has found a moment of calm and captured the beauty of New York City covered in the snow.
Using his trusty drone, he has filmed the city in a more peaceful and quiet state – it appears that the Big Apple does sleep sometimes. In fact, the lack of people and the eerie light gives the city a ghost-like post-apocalyptic feel to it.
According to Harper, the gusty wind caused the drone to wobble as times as it filmed the city.
Harper made the video on Monday as a light shower of snowflakes fell across New York. The drone soared over the city and flew through a snow-capped Central Park and along the Hudson River.
