Look Up. Up! Up!

Admiring the architecture here is a daily habit of probably every New Yorker that walks through the Manhattan streets.  The density, both horizontal and vertical, of this city is overwhelming.  I've been to many cities in the world and nothing quite describes concrete jungle as well as Manhattan.  Next time you walk around, stop and stare up.  You will be surprised how buildings change based on location and how intricate everything is.

Downtown New York.  I wonder how old this building is.  Love the red.

Walking home.  I can see my building from here!

Today I remember all the individuals we lost in 9/11.  No one will ever take the resilience of New York away.
