I took this photo while I was in the car on the Grand Central Parkway. The view really struck me because I had initially been looking for a view of the Manhattan skyline. I love the skyline and think that it’s one of the most beautiful things about New York. It usually reminds me of all the amazing people, places, and opportunities that are encompassed by New York City. However, as you can see from the photo, the skyline is minuscule as compared to the expanse of sky, and Manhattan seems to be a good distance away from where I was, just in Queens. I like this photo because it serves me as a reminder that there is more to “the city” than just the borough of Manhattan. We’re all part of it and interconnected, even when it seems that all the glamour and excitement of New York City is worlds away.
