Walking through Union Square late enough not to see any cops. Skating around the city, and ending up at the Brooklyn Banks. The daylight hours are just fine, but there's something about the city at night. The way in the dark you can see the lights, the life. The feeling of walking down the Bowery at 2am and being completely alone, knowing that you're surrounded by people for miles.
Tall buildings enclose traffic, public transportation, pedestrians.
The city is movement, the city is music. Sometimes piano keys rolling in like thunder. Sometimes smooth like Coltrane. The people move with it. Up and down streets, in and out of buildings.
