In this part of Manhattan, New York, there are 3 public spaces. The big one - "C" - is Madison Square Park. There's a couple of pics further down - but I was mainly interested in the other urban spaces....
The first pic - below - is from "A", looking across E23rd toward "B".
The time of year is November 15th, it is autumn, the sun is low, and tall buildings cast long shadows, sunny gaps between. Quite a lot of wind.
People are out though. Some prefer shade. Some prefer sun. All are well wrapped up against the cold....
(BTW - I've posted some
video clips from this site, and from Madison Square. Got them the next day. Couldn't keep away).
These people are in the sunny area, rugged up, tables and chairs are publicly available for anyone to sit at.
The next 4 pics are all in area "A". There's a box "flatiron" cafe in the background. Sunny. Kids around. Older people too. And this last one gives you an idea of the height of that building - will be casting shadow over this square in an hour or less....
These last 3 pics are within Madison Square Park. You can see in this pic that this park is surrounded by tall buildings too...
Within the Square there are the same tables, and public open space. People choose to be in the sun, or in the shade....
Both options available in Madison Square....
Meanwhile, back in site "B", FlatIron, the sun has moved. Leaving a sliver for those searching for direct sunlight....
TV here is full of the debates. Unless there's been a terrorist act in Paris....
