Ever-so-often a moment comes looking for us, to see if we can capture it in a way that is our own. That moment came sometime ago, and is no more. But, it left me with this piece in time that I caught and am happy to be a part of.

Skyscrapers
These tall structures do look nice. Dunno why I didn't think much of them till now. For a short Indian who until recently hadn't seen any structure beyond a pathetic 21 stories, these guys did torment my poor neck. Despite all that I'm still happy 'cause I like the look of this shot. Don't you? A teeny weeny, itsy-bitsy bit? :P

The world in his hands...
This is the statue of Atlas that sits bang opposite the St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.
I really like this statue and I think the first time I saw a semblance of it was in one of the Tom and Jerry cartoons. It felt strangely nice to stand there and take this shot.
The north-south axis of the armillary sphere on his shoulders points to the North Star as viewed from New York City. Laid across Atlas's shoulders is a wide, curved beam that displays a frieze of the traditional symbols for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Adjacent to Earth (over Atlas's right forearm) is a small crescent symbolizing the Moon. Affixed to one of the sphere's rings are symbols for twelve constellations through which the Sun passes during the year.
