Urban Bramble, Broadway @ 37th, NYC
Posted by dj.tigersprout (New York City, United States) on 20 April 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
after a month of getting resettled into my new home town, the first of my nyc series... many of the following pics came from a 15 mile walk down broadway -- starting from the bronx above manhattan all the way down to the furthest point of manhattan to the staten island ferry terminal... it was a great walk!! :)

I visited New York twice so far and am always impressed by those hundreds of water containers all over town. I was thinking about making a book with only these containers... I am happy to see that I am not the only one interested in these... :-)

@Linerberry: thanks Liners!!! it was a great walk and it went by very quickly!! 5 hours total, and that was with all the stops to take pics... but there was so much to see! so many details and cool buildings!! of course our feet were nice and sore at the end... but it was so worth it!! :)

Like the combination of old and new. The steel curves reflected in the archaic water tank

@Howard F.: yes -- i wasn't thinking that when i did it -- but in retrospect i totally agree!! the pink just seemed to represent the energy i feel when i look at this shot! :) cheers!

You've packed so much detail and interest into this image with your choice of composition. Use of selective colour is also very effective. Have fun exploring your new environment with your camera!
