Upper West Side July 2010; The Dakota, completed in 1884. This Is Your New York. A study in contrasts, old meets new, gables and balustrades opposite buses and taxicabs, subdued colors facing reds, blues, and yellows. Old money and tourists. Ah New York!
The juxtaposition of old and new, as well as the almost sepia toned buildings and the bright colors, really make this interesting. The fact that the bus says This is Your New York is an added bonus. Great shot.
