water towers



I've shown them before, but I'd recognize a
NYC skyline in a . . . NY minute—if it included
these things.  Love the juxtaposition between
a beautiful building and its homely water tower
up on top.  Just another layer, because you
hardly notice them from street level.

  1. I never grow tired of these tower shots above the city. Of course, it reminds me of the camera closing in on NYC at the start of one of my all-time favorite musicals-- "Westside Story." Click...click...gotta keep it cool boy. :-) Hope you're doing well Alexa. Best of weekends to you.

  2. This is typical NY to me. That is why I found so dangerous to walk in this city ! I spent my time looking up and bumping into things or persons !!
    I like the shadow of the water tower on the building at the back of the pic.
    Thank you.

  3. You're both psychic. I took this picture . . .
    a) because the revival of West Side Story had just opened the night before & I had been thinking about it and
    b) because of the shadow on the building.

  4. Oh, pretty much what Coltrane and Marylene said! That shadow is especially lovely. And I'm happy to see more pointy-topped doodads.
