Up and high
They pierce the sky.
Clothing floor
By floor
With glass,
They climb
Through city space
En masse.
In large cranes
O’er river,
Rails and roads,
They build Manhattan
Load
By load.

Yeah, and you don’t want any of them cranes breaking or having a boom dangling loose above your street, I can tell ya that!

The details in the foreground and vertical buildings contrast nice and I really like the subtle colors here – I almost thought it was a black and white – but then saw the warm tan and other bits of color.
It feels timeless in a way

Thanks! Yes, the colors in the photo fit the muted colors of the city-scape and how the buildings’ hues can seem washed out even as they also hold their own range of tones. In some ways perhaps it IS timeless–at least as far as building skyscrapers goes. It happens to by NYC (as seen from the corner of the high-line at 34th street on the West Side by the Hudson Yards), but it can be almost any modern urban downtown area. Thank you for this insightful comment!
