City of Glass

I think I love the urban scene so much because of the architecture, just like this. The different colors of glass are just so visually appealing. In this scene I was attracted to the green, navy, and white/gold, of the windows from these buildings and the green and yellow of the plant life on the fence. Again, this photo was taken on the HighLine. The plants are darker and the buildings lighter which somewhat reflects the mood of the city. NYC is the city of light and isn't known for having an abundance of trees or anything of that sort save Central Park. With the buildings of urban development being brighter, and the plants being darker, it shows the contrast of the two parts of NYC- the part that lives it's name and the part that has remained untouched. The use of light in this picture allows the buildings to be darker but still shows all their qualities and has the sky a lighter with a tint of periwinkle- this color came from the ever empending storm which fell upon me and the rest of my tour group.
