Description

I'll probably say it many times in the future and I have definitely said it many times before, but every time I look at the densely packed Manhattan skyline, I'm reminded of cities I built in the old Sim City game many years ago. It just looks computer generated and unreal to me, perhaps because I grew up in a small place, but none of the large cities I've been to before prepared me for the shoulder to shoulder skyscrapers that pack the New York City skyline.

This particular piece is a textured piece of my photo art. It's based off of a photo that I took from the Top of the Rock AKA Rockefeller Center. My friends and I timed our journey perfectly, arriving there just a bit before sunset. And, the truly serendipitous part was that it was a perfectly gorgeous sunset, filled with a constantly shifting colorful sky, as you can see.
