NYC Merged Buildings

On our own, Junko and I did a NYC walk today before leaving for the conference, with the main goal being an exhibit at the NYC main library. On our way, these buildings stood out to me. I love all the squares, lines, and angles and the way the building on the right seems to merge right into the one on the left. And weirdly, the building on the left is an exact copy of the Bank of America building in Chicago. Of course, New Yorkers would probably claim theirs was built first.
Great architecture-fav--did u have the chance to visit my "hood"-Brooklyn?

Super capture!
October 12th, 2013  
Yes I agree - it's like one of those drawings which goes on forever, by the artist whose name escapes me.

Fantastic shot! Wish I could get to the city and meet you- but I'm exhausted from my Vt. trip and we have company visiting today! Have a wonderful time in the Big Apple!

awesome shot ...love those lines and wonderful perspective ... Fav!!
October 12th, 2013  
This is the kind of shots I love...architecture and geometry / pov / intersections. How interesting the reflection of the building on the left which seems to appear through the building on the left, as if this was see-through. (Hope I made myself clear...it's so complex to express elaborate artistic ideas and appreciation in a foreign language!!!)

Great architectural abstract. You did fantastically well with the last challenge I set you, so I wonder if you can do as well again. I wanted to choose something completely different this week - so your challenge is food photography. Good luck.

@jodimuli Not this time...we did go to Queens to get this shot, so at least I am now venturing into the outer areas from Manhattan!

@busylady I hadn't thought about this, but you're right...Escher-like (but not nearly as good as his art, of course!) in its feel to this. Thanks for your view and comment!
October 13th, 2013
