In the picture of the New York Skyline linked below, we are driven to believe that New York City is the most exciting place in the world. There is something for everyone to do in New York City. The city is full of ambitious people that dream big, just like those that made it. These emotions make NYC a place that brings people together. The opportunities are endless in New York because everything you want to do is nearby. NYC represents the people that live there. 

New York has establishments to serve all social classes. There seem to be layers in the picture that represent the most distinguished buildings as the tallest and the smaller businesses on the lower parts. There are both mediocre and extravagant destinations to go to in aspects of food, living space, and entertainment. There is entertainment all over NYC from the street performers to the flashy lights  of plays and events. Because there are no distinguishable people in the image, the viewer uses their imagination. This picture focuses on what the city, which is visible, gives the people, those of which are not seen. But with that said, people made the city and what it stands for. It has morphed into a place for business, living in, visiting with friends or family, and having a good time. 

The shot of the skyline is taken late at night, but rest assured, few people are sleeping in such an active city. We are able to tell this because of the thousands of lights being used for the people that are awake. With all the activeness of the city, the colors in the image are used to grab the attention of the people in the city to go to their business. The texture of the image displays a very modern city. It is professionally built with innovative materials. The buildings are intelligently designed to stand out to the others within reason. Everyone knows a party pooper, but that is not the person to bring on a visit of the city that never sleeps. This is because with seemingly endless activities sleep should not be the biggest concern. Endless activities is how the picture presents all the places in the city. From being taken across the water, the view creates a desire to go to NYC. In plain sight is hundreds of living spaces, restaurants, and businesses. All of which are in walking distance from each other. It is an advantage for everything to be so close and it is seen in the elevation of the skyline. Unlike a picture of the suburbs, which all look the same, a photograph of NYC has a definitive presence and is easily recognized by people around the world. 

As represented in the picture, in NYC the sky is the limit. This is best shown by the skyscrapers reaching up into the sky. The ups and downs of the skyline show how the biggest names get the most attention. The Empire State building is the tallest building in NYC and is well known. Names of other places are overshadowed by the daunting hight advantage that the Empire State building has on them. There is a clear sky in the picture which lets people see above the atmosphere and as far as the eye can see with no limitations. It seems to be a completely clear sky. So clear that because of an orb of light from the city the stars above are not even spotted in the sky, they are just masked by the city light. 

NYC is a place that brings people together. It is obvious from the picture that all classes of people are joined in one location. This embodies the melting pot idea with people from many places and backgrounds. Like the admiration of the picture, people admire NYC so much that they dream of going there. Those who live in this well lit city are very proud and thankful of it. Each skyscraper holds thousands of people daily, which develops the probability for people from all over. Every single person there is in NYC for their own reasons. But every single one of them sees people of different origins at work, at restaurants, and using transportation. Of the transportation in NYC, most people end up walking a lot because as seen in the image, there are so many people with so little room between buildings to drive. Also with such close quarters, it is usually not a far walk. The boats of the image can’t go unnoticed after a quick examination. They are likely for fun rather than travel or business. After all, most things in the photo are used for entertainment and overall happiness for someone. 

New York City is similar to the people that live there. In the picture you see big tall buildings, this represents the people at the top of their field. The small places near the water represent the people following their passion. With lights everywhere representing the people, the overpowering lights represent the people aiming to get the most attention from others. The kinds of people that live in NYC are the ones that live for excitement. They are not fond of mediocrity rather, they strive to be and see greatness. This is similar to the image of the city. It shows through the amount of light from each individual that is awake, doing whatever it is that they do can spread the light to the sky above it and the water below, effecting more people than what is presently there. 

From seeing the New York Skyline in the way it is photographed below, we can now see that New York is the most exciting place to be. No matter who you are, you can find something of interest to do in the city. The same kind of visionaries the built skyscrapers are the ones that work and live in NYC. The emotions of ambition, and excitement are able to bring thousands of different people into a similar location for the bettering of their life. New York City is overflowing with activities around every corner and different places to be which makes it such an exciting place to be. I mean, just look at it.
