Oculus and Freedom Tower hiding behind few tree's, yes there still few old tree's in the city...
Southbound on Mercer St
Never forget...
The Oculus was developed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. His intent was to create a structure that resembled a dove flying into the air after leaving a pair of outstretched human hands. Visitors can see this expression in the exterior steel columns.
Well sitting in traffic, couldn't pass up this beauty of a sight
Gantries were built in 192⁸0s to load and unload rail car floats that served industries on Long Island. The gantries with car float transfer bridges, which in turn were served by barges that carried freight railcars between Queens and Manhattan. In the hight of industry in NYC there were hundreds of Gantries all along the water ways to move commerce. So few are left from the days of Trains.

Met Life Bldg, originally the Pan Am building, built with support from Juan Trippe signing a 30 yr. lease. Still.a great icon of construction in NYC. I miss the Big blue ball, and work il ng on the Clippers.

As the night lays down upon the city, one ponders on its ever changing beauty, and it's sadness. 911 Never Forget...
In the NY groove, I love my town at night. Amazing how much has changed over the years. But to much building up is sadly hiding the classic skyscapers from view..
