Today's photo was made from the roof of The Manor, and depicts Prospect Place ‒ all three blocks of it.
We begin with the North Park, which is neatly captured above. Known for its Lich Gate entrance, gravel-lined paths and privet-hedge fencing, it's a comforting retreat.
Further down the street is the Middle Park and the Tudor City Coffee House. The park is a hazy maze of fences leading to the staircase down to 42nd Street. Across the way, the windows of the Coffee House have been cranked open; it must have been a warm day.
There is one thing 'wrong' about the photo, and that is the lack of The Sign, which seems to have vanished into thin air. It suggests a careful erasure by an adept retoucher ‒ or perhaps the letters just decided to take the day off, your call.
Thank you for posting these!
