Empire State of Mind


I love these portraits of NYC buildings over time, ending with what the skyline will look like next year with the inclusion of the new Freedom Tower. It's so cool to see how NYC evolves over time, and yet some things stay the same long-term, such as the Brooklyn Bridge.

Underground Sounds



All right, all right, so it's another New York City post - I can't help myself. The Big Apple wouldn't be the same without its subway system, with tracks stretching from neighborhood to neighborhood, borough to borough, under the noisy city streets. However, what's above ground isn't all that's noisy, which is shown in this video, documenting the screeching trains, chatter, and musicians that make up the underground.

Paper New York


Lately, I've been missing the busy streets and beautiful buildings that make up New York City. While this paper version won't exactly solve my craving to be in the city that never sleeps, it's still pretty cute. The 1/100 scale model is by Japanese paper artist Terada Mokei, who also has baby versions of Tokyo, trains, and a zoo, among others.
