One of the most appealing features of city life is the multiplicity of views. No matter where you are, you are privileged with a distinctive view, with your own private scenery, if you like. Look out the window, and you’re likely seeing the city in a way that almost no one else sees it, whether your view gives on to a street, a roof, the el, or an alley.
My life is shaped by these various scenes, which take on different colors according to the time of day.
