That's... a surprisingly bothering view. I thought I'd like the view of skyscrapers and highrises, especially when things come to NYC, but this is ugly and repelling.
I get what you're saying. The marvel of this view is more invoking of the power and energy that is surging through this city, rather than a breathtaking mountain range or something. It's also not the best side of the office: This is the uptown-facing side, Brooklyn in the far right past the skyscrapers. The first one I posted is the NJ-facing side over the river. Idk, I think it's pretty crazy. Imagine how much happened within the frame of each shot in just the instant that I took these photos.
Now that's a thought to think over. Maybe I'll write a short story based on that. Sounds appealing. As for the view... I used to marvel at it, too. I had a wallpaper of an American city on my desktop, and that view brought warmth to my heart. NYC doesn't give that. Now that I think of it, the city is scary: it's too big, too populous, too damn ugly from upstairs - a nightmare for a deep introvert like myself. That being said, I think I'd love to walk it early in the morning in the summer.Imagine how much happened within the frame of each shot in just the instant that I took these photos.
