This shows the section of Fifth Avenue in the 50s, which is consistently ranked among the most expensive shopping streets in the world. The broad avenue was initially only a narrower thoroughfare, but this section south of Central Park was widened in 1908. The development coincided with the change from a residential area to a commercial district.
Your affection for New York is apparent in your “wanderings” through the city and Central Park. The pictures are excellent companion pieces. They look like works of art, ie colored sketches, and have your name attached. Are they photographs or indeed sketches? My tired eyes may be deceiving me today (03/27/2023). I agree; the fire escapes are iconic in all I’ve ever seen in New York via films, TV, etc. Have only been through once on a long taxi ride to observe personally awaiting an international outgoing flight to Europe many years ago; now that I think of it, it was exactly my 35th. birthday! Wonderful gift! Thank you for the virtual tour. 😊
Thank you, Alexander, great photo renderings of this great green build NYC city with Skyscrapers (holding more people per square foot), build on a granite rock with (early) fire exit strategies in mind. A historic masterpiece. I'm happy you had a chance for 'Stroking the Streets'🚶♂️🗽🌻
Love everything about it! The writing, the descriptions, the creative images, the musical references, especially Lou Reed.
What a grand few days you’ve had! The perfect beginning for your long summer travel odyssey. Anxious for more.
Thank you for the adventure and be safe.

These are photos that I digitally work on to create these images. Nice that you like them.
