NYC Loft: This is a shot from the rooftop. It's the last days of winter, which allow for an uninterrupted views of the Verrazano Narrows.
Can you hear the harbour sounds? It's a lovely place to meditate, work, lounge, yoga, spy on neighbours, watch the stars & of course, to take photographs.

I was looking down from the 86th floor observatory towards the Flatiron building when I saw this AMAZING rooftop garden. They say NYC is an asphalt jungle, but there is green everywhere!

The backs of rooftops in Leeds Park Square, with the imposing minarets of St Paul's House in the background.
Before sunrise from the roof of Yuan Yen Yuan Hotel on Gulangyu. Here is a photo by 1980Nic which shows much more of the view of Gualngyu and Xiamen across the water a bit. Her photo also shows the relationship between Xiamen and Gulangyu island.

In the past Gulangyu was one of China's foreign concessions, usually walled areas, where foreigners lived in isolated communities where they built buildings in the style of thier own country. Shanghai has 7 distinct sections of architecture in its old concession area. Since Gulangyu is an island it was not walled. Until very recently nothing was done to maintain the grand old homes and consulates. They were slowly inhabited by groups of families, or left empty. Its the prettiest place I know in China. The peace and quiet there, as a walking-only island has been my mental health therapy, just a short boat ride away from the city.
