Twilight Windows & Stuff

That magical time of day when daylight fades and lights start glowing in windows... and on this random rooftop, a water tank supported by some impressive steel and a lone bare Charlie Brown-ish tree. 2nd Ave, Gramercy, Manhattan. [NEX6-2413 acr(R)PScc]

There is a 1 or 2 block stretch of Houston Street, around Lafayette, with a couple of large billboards. This was taken through the window of a M21 crosstown bus that was caught up in a massive stop-and-go traffic jam around sunset this past Friday. Nolita, Manhattan.

Gramercy Roofscape

Water tank and TV antennas (what? no cable?) on a rooftop in the Gramercy/Flatiron area. Note the painted billboard with "MHT" in the black arrow. It points down to where a branch of the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. bank once stood. Back in the early 90's MHT merged with Chemical Bank, which later merged with Chase Manhattan Bank, which merged with J.P. Morgan, which merged with Bank One, which last year merged with Washington Mutual.... who's next?
