Brooklyn-based photographer Navid Baraty is used to shooting New York City intersections from high above, it just so happens that this past Thursday he didn’t take shots of taxi cabs whizzing by but instead caught a bird’s eye view of one of the most iconic parades in the United States. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a tradition that started back in 1924 and is known for its gigantic balloons which primarily consist of pop-culture characters like Spider-Man and SpongeBob SquarePants.
