Bryant Park

As I walk through the park I see the beauty of nature all around me. Suddenly, skyscrapers appear in the distance, standing tall, blocking the sun and surrounding the park. I feel trapped, unable to breathe. Man made beauty has intruded the beauty of nature. I sit down, trying to regain my balance. Nature and man cannot stand together. In a city so big, Mother Nature feels out of place. But suddenly the world changes as I close my eyes. I see things differently now. The two do go together. One allows for a fresh breath while the other allows for the marvel of mans creation. From my seat I see both nature and man. There is nothing more complete.
