My friend used to have a lovely view over the rooftops of Soho (see below) and a good chunk of sky, a fairly rare thing in Manhattan. About two-thirds of that view has been replaced by a mostly glass building, so now he has a view of his own red-brick digs —and whoever lives behind that glass. (I've talked about this before—rampant real estate has become a pet peeve.) |

To me, tracking the construction would be like having to watch a deeply beloved friend die slowly of a fatal greed disease. And then be forced to live with the corpse ever after. I must say, you did find beauty in the mausoleum.
ReplyDeleteA bit sad for your friend but a good reflection. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose windows give wonderful reflections. Sorry about the brick wall of that building.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great pity window views count for nothing.
ReplyDeletegreat reflection indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer his view to mine but on second thought it might get a little boring after awhile. At least I can see a few trees from my windows. Cool reflection! :-)
