The combination of artificial and natural light in this city often gives the early evening a surreal quality. Here, the leftover holiday light hangs seemingly magically; it's surrounded by the cooler light of the newly fluorescent street-light bulb, all set against the beautiful bright blue of the winter evening sky. And I thank goodness for New York's stubborn imperfection, the street light on the left is not working, creating a nice asymmetry to put you a little off balance.
