New York layered against the skyline.
Buildings pile up on each other, layers of times past nestled up to the present.
There's something about the Chrysler Building that makes me happy. Perhaps it is the brilliantly beautiful upper stories that roundly taper into that point, lit in layered curves even before twilight. Other buildings are taller, more brightly lit, more livable, but for me, the New York Skyline is the Chrysler Building. I like the incongruity of the neighboring shops, the wild drivers and assertive pedestrians. On this late spring evening, the restaurants have flung open windows and doors and have pushed their tables to the sidewalk.
