Air Conditioner

Just a little mix of two views from two different cities, New York City and Stockholm. If you have forgotten or this is your first time viewing my photostream: Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art or abstract art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. You can like them or not but they make me smile.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
A detail of the facade of a dual-use building in a small town, the ground floor occupied by small, local businesses and the upper floor mostly by apartments. The store at left is a children's art studio; that at the far right sells inkjet refills.
While touring around Thailand's Chiangmai Province, I was floored when I came across the Air Diamond Hotel. Because their rates were through the roof, I didn't stay overnight but I hung around and took photos :) Thanks for viewing! Catch ya on the flip ride :)

Well, these building may not be the first to catch the eye along Billionaire Row just south of Central Park but I couldn't resist the composition. I thought it interesting to find window A/C units and an old school water tank in real estate that runs way into the millions if not billions. A lot was being prepared for another skyscraper.
Technical Note: The perspective of this image drove me crazy, I couldn't figure out why the bottom of the center-right plane of the building looked a bit off (pulled in) even though the vertical lines are pretty straight. I thought it might have something to do with straightening the perspective or perhaps some lens distortion going on. What I concluded after plenty of study is it's a bit of an optical illusion with the four rows of lower windows having a different horizontal spacing than the top four rows! The result is that they tend to "pull" the image to the right a bit, IMO. Anyway, it was fun trying to figure this out and I was relieved that I didn't have to blame my 24-70. I shot this at 55mm which is a focal length I don't use too often for buildings. That being said, I'll have to run a few field tests next time I'm around tall buildings to confirm my hypothesis.

This is a small portion of the air hose which connects my new portable air conditioner to the window vent.
HMM!
Something doesn't quite add up with what's on the roof and what's hiding underneath.
