From inside a cafe, a busy street. A woman in jeans and a black T-shirt is walking and talking on her mobile. On the other side of the dense traffic, store fronts and trees.  Looming over the cars - maybe on the back of a truck? - is a large vaguely human figure kneeling as if to start a race. Its surface seems organic: wood or plants?

Good morning from Harlem
#Photography #GoodMorning #Sunrise #NYC

Looking through an arched window an hour after sunrise the sky is filled with chunky gray clouds, and patches of yellow light are breaking through in a few places. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones with red brickwork are across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance. The tops of two trees are on the bottom and right, turning red and gold for autumn.
