262

Midtown Manhattan, NYC.

A few weeks ago I walked south through the park from the Cooper Hewitt design museum to Carnegie Hall. It was the tail end of a weekend drenched in rain, but that afternoon the rain held. Kronos Quartet were finishing a four night run and I wanted to see if last minute tickets were available at the box office.

Near the hall, I looked to my right to see a sliver of space between two buildings. I've seen the space before, but the light between the towers seemed brighter on this overcast day. I stood still and took this photo. And then I considered buying caviar from Petrossian.

Great shot !

These two buildings are
very different, especially
with this amazing contrast, but they also
seem to belong has the same family, as if with this composition they formed only one...
Very close and very different .

These photo is beautiful.

Thanks everyone!

c: It is amazing the buildings you find in New York and their neighbors. Even after living here for so long there are still things that I'm discovering. And often, I feel like I don't look up enough.

Liya: Thanks for the words of encouragement! Though now I feel the pressure for those other 70+ photos! :p
