As cyclists, we can't help but to notice skyscapes and other vistas. Whether they're views of the sea, hills, trees, cornfields, Victorian houses or glaciers (Yes, I pedaled alongside one in the Alps!), we are aware of the way in which natural and architectural structures interplay--or don't play nice--with the sky
Here's an interesting one I saw yesterday, while running errands on Vera:
Now, you might think it's just another view of a New York skyscraper against the sky. At least, that's what you might think if the grid lines didn't cris-cross the almost preternaturally sky-blue glass.
That glass forms the exterior of the new 4 World Trade Center, just down the block from One World Trade Center, a.k.a. the Freedom Tower. The original WTC buildings were destroyed on 11 September 2011; the new 4 WTC opened on the 13th of November this year.
