Under Construction/Renovation



Needless to say, I have been doing a lot of walking about.
What I've noticed is that lots of buildings are being fixed up one way or another.
This one is on 5th Avenue around 20th Street. I like the idea that the drop cloth is pretending to be the building itself.
A useful idea.



Two more pictures of the same building...............



Of course, in view of what's been happening lately, one feels a little wary of the cranes..........but they are fun to take pictures of.



This construction is in Union Square. The billowing plastic a contrast to all the green plants below.
New York is always renewing itself.

  4. Yes, the printed canvas over the renovation is a good idea. Definitely than the usual plastic tharp.

  6. I was going to say, watch out for those cranes! New York is a work of art in itself, though...

  11. What a refreshing look at the city, Elizabeth!
    I love New York, especially walking it early morning when the city is still stretching from her sleep and the air is crisp. Reminds me dearly of my Lisbon.
