Photography

In my parents last apartment (Manhattan) the front of the building faced west on an avenue. But the back half of the building where we were was built up on a concrete & bouder foundational structure; and had a massive cantilivered "balcony" bc it was on a steep hill. So we were 8 stories above the street below, and 3 stories above the rooftops of the next 3 avenues, and buildings going eastward.
Complex, am I right? 😄

But it gave us a full 180°sky view ! As as nature lover, artist, and photographer it was glorious!
Since I had several major interests I didn't take tons of prints, or slides; but I had some - including one rainbow!

Another time w/o film I drew this massive thunderhead with a perfectly rounded "anvil" which never flattened out into the classic shape. I say massive bc the bottom half was I guess below the buildings; maybe below the curve of the earth probably over the east Bronx, or western Queens.

Anyway, the fireacape was in my bedroom, and I sat there watching it go from day lit, to sunset, twilight and night. And at night it was lit within by lighting bolts! And yet the sky above me was clear with a few stars. Amazing!
