A nice optical building face at 42 Broadway, way downtown.The photos came out soft and nearly monochrome, which likely heightens the optical effect. It was a hazy day, and I was shooting toward the sun.
I like the softened details just below and, in the bottom photo, the diagonal fade from the cloudy reflected light, bottom left, up through the checkerboard to the washed out details upper right, as the building next door follows the curve of Broadway down to the base of Manhattan.
