NY Through the Lens - New York City Photography

Summer on Perry Street. Greenwich Village, New York City

On summer days like this, the bright summer sun barely cuts through the branches of trees canopies that line the street while brownstones and bicycles revel in the cool shade.

Some people flee the city in the summer, preferring cooler climates free of hot cement. For me, there is nothing that comes close to summer in the city.

It’s true that often the air is held captive by the high heat and the sun scorches the pavement but when a breeze is allowed free rein to fly through the trees, something magical happens.

Streets breathe a sigh of relief and warm tones of muted sunlight cast upon buildings languishing in the shade inspire smiles of contentment.

Love Me. Hudson River Park Pier view of the New York City skline. West Village.

Under cover of darkness, the city lights flicker: stars and skyscraper constellations in a vast urban universe.

And when the night squints, small evocations come into focus: plaintive pleas and heart fluttering statements released into the city’s collective mind.

Spring blossoms on the High Line. West Village, New York City.

Spring was in full effect this past weekend on the High Line, the elevated park that sits above Chelsea and the West Village which features old railroad tracks. The views are wonderful.

The High Line. West Village, New York City.

The High Line has definitely grown into one of my favorite public spaces on the West side of Manhattan. I love that flowers and wildlife have been successfully merged with old railroad tracks. The views are absolutely breath taking.

“The High Line is a 1.45-mile New York City park built on a section of the former elevated freight railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway. The High Line Park currently runs from Gansevoort Street, one block below West 12th Street, in the Meatpacking District, up to 20th Street, and will eventually run through the neighborhood of Chelsea to the West Side Yard, near the Javits Convention Center.” Source

West Village, Manhattan.

This was the home of Emma Lazarus. Emma Lazarus wrote the poem which provided the lines that are now inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Those lines went onto the base of the Statue of Liberty in 1912.
