a window of yours?

yep. neat to me for a couple reasons. that building with the slanted roof is the citigroup building, the first place i worked after moving to new york. after moving south of it, i am pretty much directly east and can close the circle. it was a big decision to leave manhattan, and i put a lot of thought into it. but when 'queens noir' editor robert knightly gallantly gave me a (four hour) tour through queens, i realized THIS was the new york i wanted to live in - 112 languages in 20 square miles, and all the attendant food, culture and energy - NOT an overpriced, increasingly bland, whitebread manhattan increasingly devoid of character & characters, replaced by the superrich and megacorporations.
i realized later that when spring comes, and, coincidentally, when the green leaves grow on that tree, the skyline will vanish.

oh insky neat that you found your nest :) & yeah things come in right time, probably (& before) that 4hr tour you weren't ready, yet... but now, that you can say hi in 112 languagues ('cause you can, eh??? ha!) and you have been to the 'other ny side' am sure life realized you were ready for the jump, i do see you much more here that around the whitebread (even w/your blue eyes, ha!)

a beautiful view with a reminder of a start (citigroup) & glad that the wintry branches let you see through, & please once the spring/summer are advanced and in bloom (as your new new-yorker life) don't forget to post a picture of the greens!: we already know what it is behind :)

welcome to your new view in life! heh heh, literally huh?
