There's the starkness of the streets (see yesterday) and then there's this. I'm thinking this would make a good jigsaw puzzle.

The last red door photograph in this group. I came close to discarding this in the beginning, but I kept looking at it and ended up really liking it. It has sort of a Renaissance feel to me. It's not symmetrical, but it feels symmetrical. And rational and quiet. Plaza like. Anybody know what I mean? Again, please enlarge.

Note: the white car in the foreground is totally necessary.

Back to Midtown and the photos I shot last Thursday. Moving down the block, here's another red door belonging to PS 116. Remembering that green is the complement of red . . . Click to enlarge to see what I mean.

By the way, a wonderful site I came upon, trying to figure out what neighborhood Lafayette Street is in (I suffered a temporary real estate consciousness lapse, but was reminded by a good friend), is New York Song Lines, Virtual Walking Tours of Manhattan Streets. It didn't tell me the neighborhood, but it told me all about Lafayette Street, block by block.

I work on Park Avenue South at 32nd Street. This is the part of midtown where the avenues are all business but many of the side streets are leafy and residential. Quite refreshing to take a stroll on my lunch hour. This is 33rd Street between Lexington and Third Avenue and the red door belongs to PS 116. This was shot on my Thursday lunch hour, day before last. (This one's for you Barbara.)
