#NYC #City #ARage #Parking #Neon #Winter #Street #Scaffolding
Afternoon scene during winter on a street with a slight incline in an imaginative City, facing down the street and the continuous buildings - old and new - that occupy every inch of this most densely populated neighborhood of any large city in the country; in the foreground, behind a wall of parked cars and a massive, two-story tall scaffold, there is an old, white brick, mid-rise building with a painted sign that reads "Park" and a hanging, red, neon sign that reads (vertically) "Garage"; however, the letter "G" is not working so it looks as though it reads "A Rage"; cars make their way down the street headed away from the scene and towards a group of much taller, high-rise apartment and condominium buildings - one of which appears to be half-empty; bare winter tree branches reach across the background of blue sky, right now striped with thin, white clouds.

#NYC #City #Art #Crochet #GoForthUnafraid #TreeScarf #School #Inspiring #Tree #TheChildrenAreOurFuture
Daytime scene on a residential street in a large city in front of the entrance to an elementary school, facing the street and a full-sized tree wrapped in a long, handmade, crocheted "tree scarf"; this beautiful and artistic work of art has a rainbow patchwork of carefully inlaid hearts and a message sewn-in which reads "Go Forth Unafraid"; the street and sidewalks are wet from melting snow, which fell a long time ago; the brownstone buildings across the street are extremely expensive.

Nighttime scene in a cozy city on a winter night, facing toward an old, parked car; the car is otamge and very old but looks great for its age and has obviously been well-maintained; it is a Lada sixteen-hundred, a soviet-era car from the nineteen-seventies, known for its dependability and built in the U.S.S.R.; lights from nearby buildings flood the scene with light.and make the antique automobile shiny.

#NYC #City #Street #Winter #Sunset #EastSideSunset #Twilight #Yorkville #PopulationDensity #Fun #CommuterParking
Evening photo during winter, facing down a street in a residential neighborhood in the greatest City in the world; the corridor of mostly-brick, residential apartment and condominium buildings extends to the horizon, into a pink and lavender sunset; this specific neighborhood is the most densely populated neighborhood and is home to the City's Mayor; many residents of this community have dogs, which is awesome - but too many owners will not pick up the doo doo - not awesome; the neighborhood has begun turning its lights on; there are still little piles of dirty snow around but they are melting fast, which is good because the streets very seriously need to be swept; there is a cute, little massage service here on the corner, beside a middle school, and it looks to be open.

#NYC #City #Winter #Morning #UES #Street #DirtySnow #Mystery #Laundry #Fast #Easy #Bus
Daytime scene on an avenue of a special City at wintertime, where there is very little traffic because it is morning and this avenue goes one way - away from the centre of the borough; in the evening, traffic can be very heavy here at rush hour, especially when the nearby expressway is blocked or closed; there is a small, dirty, melting snowbank along the sidewalk and there is a standing white and hot pink sign for a laundromat which reads "Lux Laundry - Fast - Easy" and looks as if it has been buried in the snow all month; it has someone's cute tag written on it; the advertised qualities are very much valued in a laundromat but, although the sign is here, the actual business is nowhere to be found; it is a mystery; the street is very salty from the wintry weather; across the street, a city bus waits at the intersection, and some pedestrians begin crossing the street; along with other (literally) small businesses and restaurants, there is decent bodega over there and the guys working there are pretty cool, as is their cat; a mix of old mid-rise and new high-rise residential buildings surround the scene and the sky in the distance is blue with fluffy white clouds.

#NYC #City #Winter #River #TidalEstuary #Bridges #Triboro #HellGate #MomentOfCalm
Daytime scene on a cloudy, but slightly less cold, winter day in a serious city, at a scenic riverside park, facing across the river toward another borough; technically, it is not a river but a tidal estuary containing salt water and connecting two salt-water bodies of water; in the distance, a train bridge and an automobile bridge span the river, connecting smaller islands to larger ones; on the main land area in the scene across the water, there is a new development of high-rise residential towers, completed last year, obscures the view of the older buildings, but some others like the housing authority apartments, are still visible and combine to form a nice little skyline; the sky is mostly grey, but there have been brief periods of blue today.

#NYC #City #Melting #DirtySnow #Winter #Thaw #Street #Sushi #Apartments
Nighttime view in a cool city during wintertime, facing down a long sidewalk towards a group of apartment towers with a traffic intersection in front; the traffic lights are all green; in the foreground, along with remnants of last month's snowfall, a couple of cars are parked in the street; it is unclear whether the parking meter is in service; a healthy, although bare for the winter, tree is growing further down the sidewalk - in front of the smoke shop which is glowing in blue lights, per usual; the sidewalk is wet due to some snow melting during the day, as well as a very light wintry mix of precipitation; closer in the foreground, some shops which are closed for the day have their rolling metal storefront doors shut; a sign for one of the businesses reads "Akami Sushi"; it has a good reputation; the sky in the distance is overcast and dark as another pedestrian, all bundled with winter clothing, makes their way down the sidewalk.

Daytime scene on a sidewalk in an iconic city, facing toward a wall adorned with a beautiful painted mural; an entire spectrum of colors, spelling out in shapes and letters: "Love Comes in Every Color" and the small letters "NYC" painted inside of a rainbow heart; the artist's signature "Jason" is signed at the bottom along with their printed name "Jason Naylor."

Daytime scene on an avenue in an interesting city, facing a five-foot-tall, big bottomed snowperson, decorated with a colorful scarf, mop hair, and sunglasses - one very cool and hip snowperson; all over the sidewalk, surrounding the stylish snowperson, are clear, large plastic bags filled with recyclable items; the bags are piled high as they await pickup by the City's sanitation heroes.who have been working around the clock in frigid temperatures since the recent snowstorm; in the background, a cyclist and a taxi cab pass by a heavily-scaffolded building and parked cars.

#NYC #City #Winter #Cold #Frigid #Brick #Snow #Mayor #Zohran #Mamdani #Historic #Landmark #Gracie #Mansion #Park
Late afternoon scene in a unique city during wintertime at a snow-covered public park, facing a lovely and historic mansion home; the large, canary yellow mansion has many chimneys and serves as the home of the Mayor of the city; the city has a new mayor and has already accomplished some things, like banning ice agents from schools and hospitals; the mayor will need those chimneys today because a wind chills are below zero; the floor of the park is still covered in several inches of snow from two weeks ago - even with this area exposed to all-day sunlight; it has barely been above freezing for all this time; the trees are bare and the sky is a sort of hazy blue.

#NYC #City #Street #Night #Cold #Brick #Flurries #Tower #Park #Quietish
Late night scene on a sidewalk of a street in a beautiful city at wintertime; random snow is scattered all around - some from the snowstorm two weeks ago and some new light snow that is slowly falling currently; it might accumulate to an inch overnight but we will wait and see; surrounding the scene are the old six-story brick buildings, some of which has been here from the neighborhood 's development; one of the buildings is used as a parking garage and there is a big white sign reading "PARK" hanging from the building's wall, as well as a traffic cone at the curb for safety; through the freezing cold air in the distance is a high rise condominium tower.

#NYC #City #DryCleaning #Old #Cleaner #SmallBusiness #CityLights #DirtySnow
Nighttime scene on a sidewalk in an enchanted City during winter, facing from behind a pile of dirty snow towards the storefront of a small business that is currently closed; the building is one of the smallest commercial structures in the City and dates back to nineteen-ten, with its brightly painted red brick exterior with the simple word "Cleaner" painted above the door in a block-style font, and the original white frieze detail, which is unusually large for the small building, which is attached to a larger building built around the same time; the silver rollup doors of the dry cleaning business appear to have been repainted many times - likely due to rollup doors being a favorite canvas of local graffiti writers; the adjacent buildings are residential apartments and co-ops, with lighted windows casting an amber glow on the scene; interestingly, above the small dry cleaning business, there is a long range view of at least two blocks where a tall, high-rise building stands tall with some of its lights on as well; it is a very densely-populated and densely-built neighborhood, so being able to see a building in the distance is rare and must mean that there is some construction happening on the blocks between.

#NYC #City #Winter #Morning #Street #Steam #Landmark #Bridge #Skyscraper #Ebike #QBRO #59thStreetBridge #Tramway
Daytime scene on a street in a lovely City near a bridge and a complex array of traffic and transit intersections, facing down a frontage access street of a larger street which is split in two by the bridge; the Queensboro Bridge, also known as the Ed Koch bridge or the fifty-ninth street bridge, connects this borough of the City to another, crossing over a river and an island; it has two levels for cars, buses, and trucks, as well as a pedestrian walkway and bike lane (although one of the less pleasant walks or rides of the City's bridges); suspended high above the bridge is a series of heavy cables for the sky tram car that brings people to the island; in the distance, a crowd of buildings varying in age, size, style, and function rises up to meet the morning sun - shining from behind some thin, random clouds; some of the buildings are tall skyscrapers; as a City bus passes on the bridge, the very important Q-thirty-two bus showing only its white roof and lighted indicator, the foreground of the scene shows the semi-frozen black asphalt street with manholes billowing clouds of steam and remnant snowbanks of a snowstorm long ago; an e-bike delivery courier makes their way through the steam, on their way to their next customer, heading in the direction of an area about to become very crowded as the day unfolds.

#NYC #City #Subway #Maze #Canal #Labyrinth #Tunnel #MTA #SubwayStation #BingLee #Tile #ArtInstallation #China #中国皇后 #EmpressVoyage-2-22-1794
Daytime scene inside an underground subway station in a famous city, facing down an ornately tiled, declining corridor with an overhead sign indicating which way to go for the trains it serves - the J, N, Q, Z, and Six lines; the decorative tiles have accents that incorporate Chinese symbology and art, because this is the City's Chinatown; at the end of the corridor, a very wide wall is covered with white, eight-inch tiles - each with a unique pictogram of ancient Chinese folklore; this wall was created by artist Bing Lee in nineteen-ninety-eight and it commemorates the seventeen-ninety-four arrival in the City of the ship "Empress of China," which brought tea, porcelain, and other treasures from Asia which most had never before seen; the term "China" for porcelain is said to have come from this event; this creative work is part of the artist's "Picto-diary" project; a young woman with pretty hair and fashion sense briskly makes her way down the corridor to another level of the station, which is somewhat of a maze, and heading either uptown or to another borough of the City.

#NYC #City #GroundhogDay #Random #Architecture #Construction #LenoxHill #Development #LadyGaga #Posters #Brick #DirtySnow
Daytime scene on a cold winter morning in a historic city, facing across a street during a break in traffic, at the dark forest green construction wall surrounding a very large development lot; they will build the tallest building that they are allowed, because this location is prime and the taller the developers can build, the more money the building generates; all around the vacant lot, there is a general history of this neighborhood's buildings - from the basic, 6-story brick apartment buildings dating to the early twentieth century - to tall high-rise condominiums with notes of the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties in their designs; all across the plywood construction wall, advertising posters are freahly plastered and selling all types of things, some of which is difficult to understand; one such poster resembles a giant Rolling Stone magazine with a close-up of pop superstar Lady Gaga; the sky is clear and blue, apart from some thin, translucent morning clouds which will soon burn off; on the street in front of the construction lot, and all down the street, a snowbank of about three or four feet is remarkably uniform in shape and dirty with the glandular excretions of the asphalt street.

#NYC #City #Winter #Neighborhood #Elevated #DirtySnow #TrainTracks #Astoria #LaserHairRemoval #Bodega #ColombianFood
Quiet morning street scene in an important city underneath an elevated subway track; Due to freezing temperatures since the snowfall a week ago, there is still some dirty snow stacked up and snow on top of roofs; a couple of newer cars are parked under the tracks, where there is a station; there is a big red bank with its lighted sign on, but it is closed for the weekend; beside the bank, there is a very old brick triple-decker commercial building with many interesting signs on display - an apartment rentals office, a Colombian restaurant, a skin care clinic offering laser hair removal, and an old bodega called the "Stop n Go"; a thin patch of high clouds on a light blue sky is in the distance and it looks like it will be a nice sunny day, albeit very cold.

#NYC #City #LIC #Cold #Snow #Rooftop #Graffiti #Chimneys #DutchKills #Taxi #Pigeons
Daytime scene in a large City, facing down a long avenue from an elevated perspective; due to freezing temperatures and a recent storm, the street is still mostly covered by snow, with many the parked cars and taxi cabs stuck in snowbanks and others in all manner of crookedness; there are hardly any pedestrians on the sidewalks as it is extremely cold this morning; at the end of the avenue, massice and red and white striped chimneys billow steam from a power plant, which actually sits on an island, onto the bright clue sky. Daytime scene in a large city during wintertime facing, from an elevated perspective, the rooftops of a group of buildings; all along the walls and parapets of the buildings, a collage of colorful graffiti throwies adds a splash of art to an otherwise cold and bland area; the graffiti is not old - as recent as ten years - but it is definitely not more recent than last week's snow storm, because the pristine blanket of snow on the rooftop is smooth and untouched, with only the vent pipes sticking up; in the distance, clouds of steam from a nearby power plant join the thin veil of clouds in the blue and cold winter sky. Daytime scene on an elevated subway platform in a large City, facing upward toward a big flock of pigeons flying to their perch atop a beige mid-rise building; the pigeons are fat because it is very cold, as evidenced by a pile of unmelting snow on the platform, and they fly in a seemingly chaotic pattern but always land in a uniform lineup; pigeons can be very territorial; a black sign is hung on the steel-wired fence, with the words "thirty-ninth avenue - Dutch Kills" in a white, recognizable, Helvetica font; in the distance, the neighborhood's much taller high-rise buildings stand towering over the scene as they reach into the cold, partly cloudy, morning sky

Late afternoon scene in an important city at the world's largest bus terminal facing an open, but restricted, area of empty floor with a big and beautiful mural displayed on the wall; the bright, fluorescent lights accentuate the bright, vibrant rainbow on the twenty-foot-wide painting which depicts a gigantic pigeon with golden wings and a queen's crown flying high over the city skyline; the mural is very creative and is tagged at the bottom with "2025 Fun Quest"; a standing #No Trespassing" sign is in the foreground to notify people that this area is restricted, possibly to protect the artwork; also on the sign frame is a "Congratulations" sign for Ariadne May, winner of the bus terminal advisory council's poster contest for her piece "Our Power - Our Planet"; there is a brick wall on the other side with a poster advertising for one of the bus terminal's food courts; the beige tile floor is clean and cold.

Wintertime scene on a sidewalk in a famous city where it recently snowed and it is freezing, so there is ice; our scene faces toward a basement storefront with a sign reading "Crystal Clean Dry Cleaners" and bright yellow banners reading "Welcome" and "Grand Opening" with festive balloon imagery; it is dark out, but the new small business is open, with their lights glowing bright in the windows, behind the heaps of dirty snow; with the state of the world now, it is a courageous time to open a new shop; never stop chasing those dreams, kid.

#NYC #City #Winter #Street #Brick #Cold #Night #Slippery #Reflection #PhillyCheese #FoodVendor #HalalCart #SubwayStation #地铁站
Nighttime scene on a wet and frozen avenue in a large city, facing a street intersection with a bright red traffic light; the traffic light casts a red glow on the floor and the Halal cart across the street adds its own blue glow coming from its lighted sign promoting its "Philly Cheese" sandwiches; they have a consistently great chicken over rice, and the falafel is also really good; the red cart is red-orange and pretty small and stands at the sidewalk with the frozen snowbanks from last weekend; at the same sidewalk is the glass roof of an underground subway station; the roof is to cover the escalators at this relatively new station; the station is boring but it is very clean and, for now, the last stop on this line; also boring are the construction workers boring a tunnel to extend this line further, bringing long-deserved and long-awaited rail transit to East Harlem, which is not boring at all; Nick's family style pizza is at the other corner of the intersection in our scene; it is somewhat similar to a Grimaldi's in that it is more of a whole-pie pizzeria and not a slice joint; like Grimaldi's, it is really nice (but hopefully their staff is treated better than at Grimaldi's); all of the buildings in this area are residential mid-rise and high-rise apartments, varying in style and age; the sky in the distance is the darkest midnight blue, although it is not midnight.

#NYC #City #Winter #Snow #Brick #Cold #Midtown #Tower #TimesSquare #WinterGarden #Broadway #MammaMia #CityLights #Iconic #Steam #TimeAndTemp
Late evening scene on a brightly-lit street in a large city, facing towards a famous area known as "the crossroads of the world"; As always, Times Square is brightly lit from the perspective of its upper edge, with its iconic LED displays and colorfully lighted buildings; in the foreground, a number of pedestrians are crossing a street which is still very slippery due to the recent snow storm and freezing temperatures; one of the pedestrians in our scene is emerging from a big cloud of steam that is billowing out of a manhole in the street; the steam is very dense and makes it hard to read the crossing signal; there is a billboard for Calvin Klein and another for a film titled "Reminders of Him; the M&M's store is over there, too. Late evening scene in a large city on a street covered with a layer of snow and ice; this is a very busy thoroughfare, so they have tried hard to remove the snow, and piled it up high behind our perspective; we are facing across the street at a group of large buildings - one of which is the rear of the Winter Garden Theatre (the front is one block west on Broadway) with its brightly-lit marquis; this nineteen-twenties era Broadway theatre is one of many operated by the Shubert Organization and is now featuring the long-running show "Mamma Mia!"; there is still quite a bit of snow on the floor and on everything, and it is not expected to be above freezing until sometime next month; above the Winter Garden Theatre is a five-story tall mural with lettering that reads "Mo Salah - Larger Than Life." Late evening scene in a large city, facing upward from a street in the city's busiest area during wintertime; the buildings in this borough of thw city are all close together and often connected to each other, and that is true for several of the high-rise buildings in our scene; one of the taller of these buildings has a brightly-lit spire and an old-school "time and temperature" readout, its amber lights currently displaying "negative seven degrees, celsius"; behind these buildings, and towering over them, is one of the City's supertall skyscrapers, Central Park Tower; it is an impressively engineered structure, albeit lacking a bit in personality; the tower stands tall against the dark night sky, and is actually several blocks away but seems closer - supertall skyscrapers give that type of optical illusion.

Nighttime scene on a sidewalk in a large city, facing an Indian Restaurant with a cocktail lounge; the restaurant, "The Drunken Munkey," is known for its signature bright red outdoor lighting, which today casts a bright red glow on the piles of yesterday's snow; it is very pretty and makes the spot even brighter - to attract customers in need of a little spice on such a cold night; in the street, the parked cars look to have been cleaned a little, but there are many here and there which are still buried; walking around, one can see that the snowfall amounts with this storm varied from block to block, with one block having nine inches of snow and others greater than ten inches; down the street, the more than 100-year-old six-story apartment buildings are very charming in the winter; in the distance, the white spotlights of a residential tower's courtyard are quite bright; one of the tall residential buildings towers over the horizon with some of its lights on.

Daytime scene at a famous city park during a snow storm in a large city; this section of the park has some nice little hills that are great for youngsters to ride their sleds down in the snow; kids are all over the park today, frolicking in the snow; beyond the sledding hill, and surrounding the whole scene, are various deciduous trees that are bare because it is winter; the distance is somewhat obscured by the snow still falling; this area ended up getting about ten inches of snow and ice is expected overnight - hug your babies tight. Daytime scene in a large city at one of its famous parks during a snow storm, facing an old, cast iron, pedestrian bridge; the bridge's ornate details make it look very elegant; a street lamp is glowing because, although it is the middle of the day, the sun has been nowhere to be seen; in the distance, visibility is limited because it is still snowing; bare winter trees surround the snow-covered scene; this area ended up getting about ten inches of snow and ice is expected overnight - hug your babies tight. Daytime scene on an avenue in a large city that was named after a candy bar, facing across the street at one of teh City's famous museums; a pole.banner in the foreground shows the museum's name, "The Met," and an image of a golden dragon thing (likely from one of their featured exhibits); in front of the museum, three cop cars are parked at the curb and the police are walking toward the Halal shawarma cart; it takes dedication to run the Halal cart in a snow storm and, while we disagree with the tactics and philosophies of the law enforcement complex, it is great that they are supporting this small business; the sky in the distance is just white, with the wind-driven snow still falling; this area ended up getting about ten inches of snow and ice is expected overnight - hug your babies tight. Daytime scene on a street in a large city during a snow storm facing an approaching orange plow truck run by the department of sanitation; they are trying hard to plow all the streets but the snow is still falling; nonetheless, these are the true heroes of the city; the plow was gathered quite the plow-full of snow, which it is basically pushing onto the sidewalk; there are tall buildings all around, but visibility is limited to about three street blocks and the sky is whited-out; there are several cold pedestrians walking though the snow on the sidewalk; this area ended up getting about ten inches of snow and ice is expected overnight - hug your babies tight.

Daytime scene on a cold winter day on a street in a large city, facing a residential neighborhood with vacant lots at the end of the block; the surrounding buildings, most of them residential and former tenement buildings, are thoroughly covered in graffiti throw-ups - some of which are very old; graffiti writers from today and yesterday coexist on the walls, including "CNONE", "WAYDA", and "Dipset" (perhaps linked to the Harlem collective "The Diplomats" from the late nineties and early two-thousands); several pedestrians walk down the sidewalk, oddly all walking north, bundled up against the cold weather; a thin veil of clouds is moving across the bright blue sky.
