……..give me the streets of Manhattan!
People, endless, streaming, with strong voices, passions, pageants,
Manhattan streets with their powerful throbs,
with beating drums as now,
Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus!
Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
(excerpted from Give Me the Splendid Silent Sun)

Times Square in the background
Duane looks like a New Yorker, don’t you think?
The skyline reflected in a pool in Central Park.
A NYC scene.
