NY NY, my city.
It has panache, an enthusiastic vigor and liveliness, it has old and new, is dirty and clean, elevates one's spirits and drops one in chaos, it has blue skies and oh, so much noise...
Very, very lovely. There is such an abundance of scenes, and not only in Manhattan. So how is is I can walk around and come home with very little that's worthwhile? Don't answer that. But I do admire what you've achieved here, and your NYC visions in general. So much fun to see.
I have been to NY 3 times, once on a short working trip back when I was a post grad, which I loved, because it really allows you to get under the skin of the "real life" of a city and the other 2 times just for a short holiday.
Absolutely LOVE that city. My dream was always to live there for about 6 months (I don't think I could take it for more, I am actually more of a country girl :-)).
sounds amazing your city ... i have never been there ..
i feel you are very open to the vibes the city puts out ... a sensitive ..
its a great pic .. the sweep of the 'graffiti' ..
didnt think of how it was done until i read Jo's comment .. then i thought whattha . !! ..
unless it was a poster ..
ppl can be so imaginative .. and creative .. and it seems you are in the city that brings all that out in its inhabitants .. like you . :)
How on earth did they do that? The squiggles are so large and fluid and sweeping. I can't imagine them being done bit by bit as the graffitists(?) gained access.
And no matter of gigantic squiggles will unify the contradictions that create and sustain this city. There is a theory that a precondition for leadership is a tolerance of ambiguity... an apt metaphor for the amazing city.
I guess you could always wear earplugs except it might be dangerous in traffic. NY is definitely an experience unto itself. Interesting image.. is that grafitti?
