(Photo: Rock Center / Romano Archives)
We got to see a vivid reminder this week that New York City never stays the same with an extraordinary color film that surfaced thanks to the Romano Archives. The crowning moment of the film is the at-the-time-brand-new Rockefeller Center rising up from Midtown Manhattan.

When the day stretches out
leaving a trail of sighs
in its wake,
the sky
and the infinite
slowly implode
folding themselves into one another
until all that is left
is a never-ending horizon
reaching out towards
the rest of forever.

This is a view of Central Park and the skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan as seen from above. It was taken with the Sony A77 from the top of the Empire State Building on an impossibly perfect morning. Upper Manhattan sits in the distance with the Chrysler Building and Queens to the right. The trees of Bryant Park are peeking out in the bottom-left part of this image.
