Oftentimes it haps when you least anticipate it. You're dashing by in a cab or running across a street when all of a sudden you capture a glance of something incredible, even spectacular. A apposition of visible light and shade, a contemplation in a window, an astonishing angle of one edifice against another, or the manner the sky at a peculiar clip of twenty-four hours lights interesting elements of architecture.

When it haps you cognize you have got just experienced "a New House Of York moment," something that could not take topographic point in any other metropolis of the world, only here, amidst this astonishing and diverse aggregation of architectural styles tightly fitted in a confined area.

Sadly, sometimes it is not until we loose something that we appreciate a particular minute often ignored or taken for granted.

On the afternoon of July 18th without warning a monolithic grapevine exploded in the centre of Manhattan one block from Thousand Central Station and conjured up memories of 911 and the World Trade Center catastrophe before our eyes. Terrified people ran in horror leaving place and bags behind to get away the hailstorm of debris that rained from the volcanic eruption that looked more than like an explored bomb than a steam gusher.

Within minute's police force autos and fire-trucks from every portion of town were on the scene and an country from James Madison Avenue to 2nd Avenue for many blocks was corded off. Security was tight while alarmed citizens watched work force clad in HAZMAT lawsuits (hazard gear) complete with full human face mask get the work of clean up.

For almost a week, 42nd Street was closed to walker traffic; so today, I stare with peculiar gusto at an lone in New House Of York scene I trust you will not take for granted.

Stand on the corner of 42nd Street and James Madison Avenue, preferably on the Southwest Side of the street at twelve noon or noon and expression upward on your left toward Thousand Central Station. See if you can capture the silhouette of Mercury's organic structure and the bend of the Last Century Beaux-Art Architecture reflected in the dark achromatic glass of the Hyatt Hotel. Now raise your eyes and notice how the gleaming optical maser crisp point of the Chrysler Building looks ready to Pierce the sky, or at the very least compose its signature.

Umm! What an image.
