Daytime scene in a large City, facing down a long avenue from an elevated perspective; due to freezing temperatures and a recent storm, the street is still mostly covered by snow, with many the parked cars and taxi cabs stuck in snowbanks and others in all manner of crookedness; there are hardly any pedestrians on the sidewalks as it is extremely cold this morning; at the end of the avenue, massice and red and white striped chimneys billow steam from a power plant, which actually sits on an island, onto the bright clue sky.
Daytime scene in a large city during wintertime facing, from an elevated perspective, the rooftops of a group of buildings; all along the walls and parapets of the buildings, a collage of colorful graffiti throwies adds a splash of art to an otherwise cold and bland area; the graffiti is not old - as recent as ten years - but it is definitely not more recent than last week's snow storm, because the pristine blanket of snow on the rooftop is smooth and untouched, with only the vent pipes sticking up; in the distance, clouds of steam from a nearby power plant join the thin veil of clouds in the blue and cold winter sky.
Daytime scene on an elevated subway platform in a large City, facing upward toward a big flock of pigeons flying to their perch atop a beige mid-rise building; the pigeons are fat because it is very cold, as evidenced by a pile of unmelting snow on the platform, and they fly in a seemingly chaotic pattern but always land in a uniform lineup; pigeons can be very territorial; a black sign is hung on the steel-wired fence, with the words "thirty-ninth avenue - Dutch Kills" in a white, recognizable, Helvetica font; in the distance, the neighborhood's much taller high-rise buildings stand towering over the scene as they reach into the cold, partly cloudy, morning sky
