Across the Rooftops by taffy

Across the Rooftops

Taken from the Manhattan Bridge, where Michael, Junko & I had stopped to try to capture the extensive graffiti against the backdrop of the skyscrapers and apartments. Again, standing in almost the same place, we ended up with three different choices and resulting images -- a little to the left, centered, and to the right, and we end up with quite different looks because of the way the background shifts and the angle of the graffiti.

What an amazing view. The jumble of rooftops such a contrast to the apparent orderly structures at street level.

Saw Michael's shot and thought of that when I saw this :)
Nice alternative view to his!

The graffiti is pretty amazing in this shot Well done.

This is so interesting. It reminds me of the Rio Opening Ceremony, where they keep reassembling these blocks to form a city.
March 6th, 2017  
A whole lot of artistic expression has been voiced here.

For some reason, I want Lin-Manuel Miranda to update Mary Poppins, with a more modern version of "Chim chimney." ;) Wonderful complex language translated into art.

The graffiti in NYC is pretty amazing - nice capture. It was nice to see the other versions as well with the links you posted.
March 6th, 2017  
@rosiekerr Cracking up! I should send L-M the image with your note! I'm sure he'd comply with the request!
March 6th, 2017  
Incredible how much graffiti there is up here - it really adds colour to the environment.
March 6th, 2017  
So much colorful graffiti! What an amazing view of the city!
March 6th, 2017  
I like the way I'm lead through the foreground and up to the taller buildings beyond. Brilliant graffiti.
March 6th, 2017  
So cool, just catching up with your shots, I look forward to what else you have posted as I go backwards to catch up!
March 6th, 2017  
duh I am such an idiot, I have already seen some of your shots :)
March 6th, 2017  
@ukandie1 Haha! Does that mean they are not memorable, or worth looking at multiple times?? What's our next adventure before I leave the city? Or are we looking at April? Weather isn't being cooperative.
March 6th, 2017  
@taffy haha...no!!! I loved your Oculous shots especially. It has more to do with my bad memory! Just sent you an email re meeting up!
March 6th, 2017  
Wow- it's worse than it was when I was there last. Good capture.
March 6th, 2017  
Tom
Wonderful capture, pure street art.
March 7th, 2017  
Wow how did i miss all your shots of the roof graffiti? How amazing is this. I only thought graffiti was on street level - how naive am I? There is a whole world of "art" going on up there on the rooftops!! It's funny I have a love/hate feeling towards graffiti - not sure when it becomes street art or indeed if it does? It certainly makes for an interesting photo against the backdrop of the NY skyline!!
March 7th, 2017  
This is incredible, the graffiti is so arty!
March 7th, 2017  
A fabulous array of colourful boxes and squares! Wonderful!
March 7th, 2017  
Wow, those kids have been busy!
March 8th, 2017  
This is so full of awesome - the NY that I remember.
March 9th, 2017  
Love the graffiti. What a great shot, Taffy. You are amazing capturing so much detail. FAV
March 9th, 2017  
I'm speechless! How is it we never see these people at work?!
