Yesterday I met a friend down at the fountain inside of the Columbus Circle traffic circle. Even though the new building there have been up for awhile, I'd never really looked at them before. They are beautiful, and against the sky spectacular. This photo was taken looking up to the west while lying down on my back on a bench...with human eyes the scope is simply amazing. Although the depth of the top of these buildings looks almost completely flat from this angle, in actuality they are not...an interesting optical illusion.
I'd heard that inside the circle all sounds of the city receed - supposedly blocked by the sound of the fountains - but this certainly wasn't the case at 11am on a summer Thursday morning. Traffic, horns, constuction bangs and crashes...there
was a symphony of cacaphonic sounds accompanied by the fountains.
