Outside My Window ~ New York City

Rear Window

I'm back in New York City.

I love the sights and sounds

of New York.  I don't even have

to leave the apartment to get a

real city feeling.  I love to be in

bed and listen to the conversations

of late night revelers wafting up from

the street, the sound of the M-11 bus

soothes me as I drift off to sleep and

in the mornings I hear the clip-clop of

the horses as they head off to work

from the stables nearby.

From the living room and kitchen

windows you can see this pretty tree.

Since I'm on the 4th floor the view

is of the treetops.  As the years go by

the tree is now blocking the view of

the neighbors who live on 10th Avenue.

I've always been fascinated by the

rear window view from this apartment.

I can see how it fascinated Hitchcock

as well.  Real life seems to happen back

here.  In the front everything seems to

look the same but in the back people's

personalities can be seen. 

I especially love the garden spaces

between the buildings.  Each garden

has it's own style, it is so nice to see

so much green in the middle of the city.

What interesting things

can you see from your window?
