First, this picture shows one major side of New York: the numerous buildings that inhabit it. Each building pictured here is completely different from the one next to it and for me, it is just pleasant to look at. Second, on the men sitting on the beam are profound examples of the labor put into not only the Empire State Building, but the many other tall buildings in the city. In short, this picture gives the viewer a better appreciation of the work that went into making the city as it is now.
