Shadow City and a Palimpsest – New York, the capital of memory.

map

I started my route at 16 street, and right away heard the sound of construction – can be in some cases the sound of the process of creating palimpsests.

Fifth avenue is full of changing businesses, they come and go.

I noticed awnings, signs, ads, that are new or changing.

I turn to 10th street here to discover beautiful historical townhouses.

Even though i saw few moments of restoration process, as far as i know those houses usually kept in as original condition as possible, it was challenging for me to find palimpsests here, except may be the idea of always changing restaurants.

I tried to record bird singing, which i know not easy, because of all other sounds.

My final destination – tiny park, i don’t even consider it a park. I discovered here Bernard McCarthy WWII Memorial.
